Spirit Totem (2) #

• You can call forth nature spirits to influence the world around you. As a bonus action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to magically summon an incorporeal spirit to a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The spirit creates an aura in a 30-foot radius around that point. It counts as neither a creature nor an object, though it has the spectral appearance of the creature it represents.
• As a bonus action, you can move the spirit up to 60 feet to a point you can see.
• The spirit persists for 1 minute or until you’re incapacitated or use this feature again.
• The effect of the spirit’s aura depends on the type of spirit you summon from the options below. Bear Spirit.
• The bear spirit grants you and your allies its might and endurance.
• As a Reaction when a Creature in your aura ends its turn, you may grant them Temporary Hit Points equal to 5 + your Druid Level. In addition, you and your allies gain advantage on Strength Checks and Strength Saving Throws while in the aura. Hawk Spirit.
• The hawk spirit is a consummate hunter, aiding you and your allies with its keen sight.
• As a Reaction when a Creature in your aura makes an attack, you may grant them advantage on that attack and any attacks they make until the start of your next turn. In addition, you and your allies have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) Checks while in the aura. Unicorn Spirit.
• The unicorn spirit lends its protection to those nearby.
• As a Reaction when a Creature in your aura recovers Hit Points, you may increase the number of hit points regained equal to 5 + your Druid Level. In addition, you and your allies gain advantage on all Ability Checks made to detect Creatures in the spirit’s aura.

Mighty Summoner (6) #

• The Creature appears with more Hit Points than normal: 2 extra Hit Points per Hit Die it has, or 5 extra Hit Points per Spell Level of the spell that summoned it if it does not possess Hit Dice.
• The Creature can deal its normal Damage Type with its attacks, or your choice of: Acid, Cold, Fire, or Lightning Damage. You make this choice each time the Creature hits with an attack.
  • (Nonmagical Damage was removed, see: Miscellaneous Change Collection).

Guardian Spirit (10) #

• Beginning at 10th level, your Spirit Totem safeguards the beasts and fey that you call forth with your magic. At the end of your turn, choose a beast or fey that you summoned or created with a spell in your Spirit Totem aura, that creature regains a number of hit points equal to your druid level.

Faithful Summons (14) #

• Starting at 14th level, the nature spirits you commune with protect you when you are the most defenseless. If you are reduced to 0 hit points or are incapacitated against your will, you can immediately gain the benefits of Summon Beast as if it were cast using a 9th-level spell slot. The summoned beast appears within 20 feet of you. If it receives no commands from you, it protects you from harm and attacks your foes. The spell lasts for 1 hour, requiring no Concentration, or until you dismiss it (no action required).
