In the deepest wilds, a guardian hermit lives in harmony with nature and the spirits therein, preserving and protecting the wilderness from corruption, abuse, and the ever-encroaching advance of civilization. Druids wield a power tied intimately to the land, a power given willingly by courts of nature spirits who entrust their survival to one who will preserve the balance above all else.
What region or environment do you protect?
Are you for or against civilization?
​Do you have any allies in the spirit courts?​
​Wildshape
Take the shape of an animal while retaining your reason, stats, and abilities.

Shifting back to your normal form is a Free Action.

For each point you have in Intellect, pick one of the following lands; you are able to assume the form of any animal that lives there: ​
The Verdant Forest
The Windswept Plains
The Scorching Desert
The Wild Savannah
The Deep Blue Sea
The Rivers and Lakes​
