![]() These benefits last for a number of hours equal to half your levels in this class, until you lose all these temporary hit points, or until you use your Wild Shape again: ![]() While this feature is active, you gain the following benefits detailed below. You become a rotting, corpse-like version of your normal self. Your druid level determines the type of undead you turn into as well as the benefits you gain. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into an undead version of yourself. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest. If you target a nonmagical plant that isn’t a creature, such as a tree or shrub, you don’t have to make a spell attack it simply withers and dies and you regain 5 hit points. This feature has no effect on undead or constructs. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage and you regain hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt. When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you can steal the life from living things with your touch. For the sake of the world, one would hope it happens to no other. Who knows what dark road druids of the Circle of Blight went down to lead them to hate nature they way they do. Simply moving through a forest causes vegetation around blight druids to wilt and die. ![]() Separating themselves from the natural world, they can take on unnatural undead states and steal life with a vampiric touch. More or an anti-druid than a true druid, Blight Druids have more in common with necromancers than others of the druidic path. The following Circle of Blight option is available to a druid, in addition to those normally offered. The exchange rate is roughly the same as a sorcerer’s.Īt 2nd level, a druid gains the Druid Circle feature. Plus, when it does so, it kills the plants around it, allowing others to travel in its wake.įinally, at 14th, the blight druid becomes a master of blight, allowing it to exchange lower level spell slots for a casting of the 4th-level blight spell. The three undead builds are basically: the strong one, the fast one, and the scary AF one.Īt 10th, the blight druid can land stride like a ranger, but only through plants. It made for a neater build that didn’t require a mess of physical ability recalculations. Furthermore, the Wild Shape are based on temporary hit points (similar to the Spore Druid’s powers in Ravnica) versus the actual hit points of the creature. Each one is roughly in line with the CRs of beasts that the druid can turn into at 2nd, 4th, and 8th, although I bumped up the level requirements a little to account for certain abilities. In addition to the blight/VT power, I came up with rules for the blight druid to Wild Shape into an undead form. Later, the power can help the druid create blights that can serve it (which will also be limited by its Wisdom modifier). Plus, I limited its use by the druid’s Wisdom modifier. Basically, I took the basic idea behind the blight spell and totally blew it up into an entire subclass.įirst, I let the subclass have sort of a “mini-blight” power that worked similar to vampiric touch, although not nearly as effective. An ability to siphon life out of vegetation, plants, etc.Potentially, the druid can wild shape into an undead or blight form.The druid should have some sort of negative environmental effect.As long as this druid is around, the types of spells that other druids and plant creatures would use to slow down parties aren’t as effective.Here is what I hope to accomplish with this build: Tired of undergrowth slowing down the party? No problem! Kill it! Hungry while traveling? No worries, just suck the life out of that tree. I want a total utility machine with this build, something that makes traveling around a little easier. Otherwise, feedback without anything to back it up gets ignored (or at most a smile emoji like this □ ) Thanks! Design NotesĮvil druids! Ooo! Walking around, killing stuff instead of appreciating life, those big ol’ jerks! If you can give me a valid reason with examples why something is off, 9/10 I’m likely to make changes to the content and credit you for doing so.
