This is a Druid circle for 5A.

Not all druids are recluses living in the wilderness. Many druids live among humanoids, usually in small villages, tending to the needs of the community and maintaining the balance in interactions with nature.

Greyhawk Community druid represent the old faith among common folk and are the most well known and commonly seen druids. Many villages have druids tending to the flock along with maintaining the division between the civilized and wild, humanoids and monsters. Most common among the Flan, rural populations everywhere can have a community druid ministering to them.

Subclass Features

Circle of the Community Spells

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, your link to the community gives you the ability to cast certain spells. At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to spells connected to aiding the community and allies.

Once you gain access to a circle spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn't appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Editor's Notes

A druid leaning towards cleric, the community druid focus on allies and followers, having more such abilities than some clerics.
