Features:
Spellcasting - As a power source for the inherent magic within the planet you can cast Natural Spells
Cantrips
At 1st level, you can Prepare 2 Cantrips of your choice from the Druid spell list, which can be changed for other Cantrips from this List every time you complete a Long Rest. The number of Cantrips you can Prepare increases at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Prepared column of the Druid table
Spell Slots
The Druid table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your druid spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a Long Rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Cure Wounds using either slot.
Preparing Spells
You prepare the list of druid spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When you do so, choose a number of druid spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Druid level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 3rd-level druid, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of druid spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your Spellcasting Ability for your Druid spells. The power of your spells comes from your ability to pull the strength of the natural environment and emanate it outwards at will. You use your Wisdom whenever a Druid spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the Save DC for a Druid spell you cast and when making an Attack Roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a cleric spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag
Spellcasting Focus
You use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells instead of a wand or staff (though you can also use a staff). These normally can be just a naturally occurring stick of a magical tree branch or a bundle of leaves from a special type of bush such as a bundle of mistletoe
Beastial Connections
Your natural connections with the world around you provide additional benefits, you gain the Beast Speech Language, allowing you to communicate basic ideas and feelings to beasts that are friendly to you and to wild plants
Wild Shape - Starting at 2nd level, you can use your bonus action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before for up to 8 Hours. You can use this feature twice per Short Rest. The type of beast you can transform into depends on your Druid Level, up to a beast with CR ¼ that doesn’t have a Flying or Swimming Speed. While in this form the following rules apply…
Your physical attributes are replaced by those of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, Proficiency Bonus, and Intelligence/Wisdom/Charisma ability scores. You also retain all of your skill and Save proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and when you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form, For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage to your normal HP. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as Call Lightning, that you've already cast.
You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form
Wild Companion
You gain the ability to summon a spirit that assumes an animal form that it once inhabited in life. As an Action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to cast the Find Familiar Spell, without material components. When you cast the spell in this way, the familiar is treated as a beast but its magically formed body falls to dust after it is reduced to 0HP or it has been in that form for 8 Hours
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach a Level with this Feature you can increase any Ability Score by +2 or two separate Ability Scores by +1 each
Druidic Subclass - You can select which of the types of Druids you would like to be, gaining powers specific to each of their natural inclinations. The druids’ guardianship of the natural world makes for a natural alliance between them and good-aligned Fae. These druids seek to fill the world with dreamy wonder. Their magic mends wounds and brings joy to downcast hearts, and the realms they protect are gleaming, fruitful places, where dream and reality blur together and where the weary can find rest even if they can’t
Environmentalist - This type is made up of mystics and sages who safeguard ancient knowledge and rites through a vast oral tradition in the ways of primal magics. These druids meet within sacred circles of trees or standing stones to whisper primal secrets in Druidic, gathering power in their quiet communities as they try to advance through the world. The circle's wisest members preside as the chief priests of communities that hold to the Old Faith and serve as advisors to the rulers of those folk. As a member of this circle, your magic is influenced by the land where you were initiated into the circle's mysterious rites

Lunarian - Druids of the Moon are fierce guardians of the wilds. Their order gathers under the full moon to share news and trade warnings. They haunt the deepest parts of the wilderness, where they might go for weeks on end before crossing paths with another humanoid creature, let alone another druid. Changeable as the moon, a druid of this circle might prowl as a great cat one night, soar over the treetops as an eagle the next day, and crash through the undergrowth in bear form to drive off a trespassing monster. The wild is in the druid's blood.

Circle of Spores - These Druids see within mold and other fungi the ability to transform lifeless material into abundant, albeit somewhat strange, life. These druids believe that life and death are parts of a grand cycle, with one leading to the other and then back again. Death isn't the end of life, but instead a change of state that sees life shift into a new form. Druids of this circle have a complex relationship with the undead. They see nothing inherently wrong with undeath, which they consider to be a companion to life and death. But these druids believe that the natural cycle is healthiest when each segment of it is vibrant and changing. Undead that seek to replace all life with undeath, or that try to avoid passing to a final rest, violate the cycle and must be thwarted.

Thorned - Druids that join the Circle of Thorns are deadly predators, a militant group that bind themselves in service to the Primal Green – the force of nature that exists within every plant.

Wildfire - Druids within the Circle of Wildfire understand that destruction is sometimes the precursor of creation, such as when a forest fire promotes later growth.
