Circle of the Woad Quirks
The following are some optional quirks for a player of this
Circle to choose from - these can be either preexisting,
signaling their fated path toward this Circle, or appear after
the first time they've assumed Woad shape.

You have a strong dislike of fire, and tend to put fires

Change Log
v1.1
Added Circle Spells - all of them are on the Druid list, but
adds some flavor and gives you access to some thematic
spells prepared.
Ancient Fortitude revised, no longer effects maximum
health.
Guardian's Grasp damage increased to 2d6 damage.
Spell and grammar fixes, spell list fixes (previously it gave
1st level spells at 3rd and 2nd at 5th, now it properly gives
2nd at 3rd and 3rd at 5th.)
v1.2
Gains additional temporary hit points equal to their
Wisdom modifier, to make it better at early levels. It still
doesn't match moon druid, but gives them a solid buffer to
make it slightly more comparable (especially given
typically higher AC).
Added new plant spells to the list.
Changed Names.
Formula changed from 10 + dex + con to 10 + con + wis. I
used to avoid removing dex from AC, but hey, they are
tree.
Can no longer benefit from a shield in tree form. Still will
be a total increase in AC as Wisdom scales.
Simplified how your natural weapon works.
