Circle of the Moon(PHB)

Druids of the Circle 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 be fore crossing paths with another humanoid creature, let a lone 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.

Combat Wild Shape


When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus
action, rather than as an action. Additionally, while you are transform ed by Wild Shape, you can use a
bonus action to expend one spell slot to regain 1d8 hit points per level of the spell slot expended.

Circle Forms
The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into more dangerous animal forms. Starting at
2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as 1
(you ignore the Max. CR column of the Beast Shapes table, but must abide by the other limitations
there). Starting at 6th level, you can transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as your druid
level divided by 3, rounded down

Primal Strike
Starting at 6th level, your attacks in beast form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming
resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Elemental Wild Shape


At 10th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to transform into an air
elemental, an earth elemental, a fire elemental, or a water elemental.

Thousand Forms
By 14th level, you have learned to use magic to alter your physical form in more subtle ways. You can
cast the alter self spell at will.

Druids and the Gods


Some druids venerate the forces of nature themselves, but
most druids are devoted to one of the many nature deities
worshiped in the multiverse (the lists of gods in appendix
B include many such deities). The worship of these deities
is often considered a more ancient tradition than the faiths
of clerics and urbanized peoples. In fact, in the world of
Greyhawk, the druidic faith is called the Old Faith, and it
claims many adherents among farmers, foresters, fishers,
and others who live closely with nature. This tradition
includes the worship of Nature as a primal force beyond
personification, but also encompasses the worship of Beory,
the Oerth Mother, as well as devotees of Obad-Hai, Ehlonna,
and Ulaa. In the worlds of Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms, druidic
circles are not usually connected to the faith
of a single nature deity. Any given circle in the Forgotten Realms,
for example, might include druids who revere Silvanus,
Mielikki, Eldath, Chauntea, or even the harsh Gods of Fury:
Talos, Malar, Auril, and Umberlee. These nature gods are
often called the First Circle, the first among the druids, and
most druids count them all (even the violent ones) as worthy
of veneration. The druids of Eberron hold animistic beliefs completely
unconnected to the Sovereign Host, the Dark Six, or any of the other
religions of the world. They believe that every living thing and every
natural phenomenon— sun, moon, wind, fire, and the world itself—has
a spirit. Their spells, then, are a means to communicate with and
command these spirits.
Different druidic sects, though, hold different philosophies
about the proper relationship of these spirits to each other
and to the forces of civilization. The Ashbound, for example,
believe that arcane magic is an abomination against nature,
the Children of Winter venerate the forces of death, and the
Gatekeepers preserve ancient traditions meant to protect the
world from the incursion of aberrations.
