So I just found on D&D beyond the spell list and their level after I wanted to find some inspiration for what kind of spells to know the Druids as their start on their own magical journey.
After some struggles, I found a lot of inspiration on the D&D beyond official site and I was wondering if I would use the magical effects of the spells, would it be illegal?
Thank you in advance :).
Hi all! I'm Anna and I build grapplers. Grappling is one of those niche 5E mechanics with a surprising amount of character design space. I've been posting a semi-weekly grappling build on my RPG blog for the past few weeks and wanted to share this week's creation after checking with the mods. Also had to wait for my rules editor, Senile from the DnDNext Discord server, to triple check the rule stuff.
This week's build is a Circle of the Moon Druid with a two level Barbarian dip for Rage and Reckless Attack. This Wildshape Wrassler focuses exclusively around grappling Wild Shape forms (the ones that grapple and restrain when their attacks hit), using spells and other combat tricks to damage restrained targets and control the battlefield.

The post itself goes into detail on race, ability scores, build progression, pros/cons, multiattack/grappling rules, Wild Shape forms, tricks with Wall of Fire, and Conjure Fey/Polymorph tricks (get a no-concentration Polymorph all on your own!). Here's the pasted build:
- Barb 1: It doesn’t get better than maxed D12 HD and Con proficiency for concentration between Rages. You can start grappling right away with Rage even before unlocking Wild Shape. After Druid 2, Rage continues to give little damage pumps to all your attacks. Unarmored Defense will be a small boost in many grappling forms but remember it doesn’t “stack” with animal AC. You just choose the AC calculation you want.
- Druid 1 / Barb 1: No-concentration level 1 spells of choice include Longstrider for mobility and Jump for grappling (leap vertically and land to knock grappled enemies prone without a shove; useful up until you get Giant Toad). For concentration, Faerie Fire can provide consistent attack roll advantage until we get Reckless Attack.
- Druid 2 / Barb 1: Go Ape with Circle of the Moon’s Combat Wild Shape. Combat Shape also lets you convert unused spells into healing, which Rage effectively doubles against resisted damage. Wild Companion is a great way to get Help for advantage on attacks before you get Reckless Attack, but be judicious with limited Wild Shape uses. Most CR 1 forms can’t grapple at all so we’ll use the CR 1/2
She has come in contact with 6 Pieces of Eden (one in comics iirc) and is in possession of four. Four powerful weapons that she actually holds in lore content. Excalibur, Gungnir, Mjolnir, Gae Bolg. These are not Animus going bunker (mtx), but actual weapons that she held according to her genetic memory. She had seen them, and responded to them (with dialogues).
I really hope future updates will address this canon, not just brushing it off. Like the whereabouts of these artifacts. Or if the Assassins and Templars are gonna try to retrieve them.
They're requesting to play a circle of the shepherd as a necromancer reflavoring and changing some of the mechanics to fit. There requests are:
- Spells and class abilities that work on animals/beasts instead work on undead. For example, Animal Friendship works on undead, and conjure animals summons undead creatures.
- Access to more necromancy and necromancy-themed spells, since druids naturally only have access to four of them.
Specifically, they feel these spells would fall under their druids purview.

What are your thoughts?
Basicaly the tittle.
At lvl 18, a druid can stay in earth elemental form for up to 9 hours. So if he doesnt need to sleep or become unconcious to long rest, like a elf or a warforged, he could simply rest in wild shape, and wild shape again after the rest to continue in wild shape basicaly forever.
And at level 20 he can use it at will.
An earth gliding creature basicaly occupy the same space as the rock. So only other earth gliders can touch it. They would have full cover against basicaly everything, and tremorsense, alowing it to see anything touching the ground.
He might not be the most offensively powerfull creature, but after level 18 the moon druid can cast spells even in elemental form, alowing him to use spells that dont require a direct line of sight like summoning and spells that create a damaging area without ever leaving the the earth.
How do you even fight it?
He has full cover against any spells or attacks.
He can hide inside the dirt and cast spells.
You would need to find it, before casting antimagic field, and even then it can simply be 11ft deep into the ground to be immune to it and the spell is centered on the caster.
NOTE: Yes i know that most lvl 17+ spellcasters become basicaly gods. But this is diferent as by the rules there is very little even a wizard can do to counter it. Maybe shapechance and follow the druid, but then only one concentration save fail and the wizard is traped inside the dirt and sufocating.
I see a lot of issues brought up with Sorcerer, Wizard, Warlock, and more, but it's seldom that I see the Druid mentioned beyond Wild Shape's limited uses. I thought I'd consult the Hivemind for some opinions.

So a Gaeas cradle on a body. Obviously it's more fragile and can't tap the turn it comes out, but as far as dorks go, I think this is quite strong. It probably goes in most [[Marwyn]] and [[Selvala Heart of the Wilds]] decks till the end of time.
Hello! I made some comics a while back ago and thought others might enjoy them too. : ) Maybe.
Hey all, I'm Zack a 32 year old enby, male presenting, person living in southern Louisiana. I love and miss the joy of opening the mail box to a letter or a card from a well wisher and would love to get a friend or two to share in cards, letters, trinkets and anything we wish to send out.
A little about me, like I said I'm 32. I'm Asatru religiously and into Druidry spiritually. I belong to the organizations OBOD, ADF, and The Troth. I'm all inclusive, as long as you hear a call and are willing to put in the effort to learn than welcome. There needs to be more openminded people out there these days, theres a lot of negative energy but I'm not going into that right now. If you become a penpal then expect a little piece of love and acceptance. I'm also an agnostic pagan, that meaning in my personal path I see the Gods & Goddesses as personifications of certain things that the ancients held true. But that is possible to change as I'm very open to speak to the divine. I love tarot and have a shadowscapes tarot deck.
I'm a big horror fanatic, and an even bigger rocker (I love metal and punk). I love comics and lots of geeky things. I love D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu. I work as a fry cook, but am saving up to go to school to get my psych degree.
I’m going to play a Druid in a upcoming campaign and am wondering what are some good ones
