Druid
|
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?

See Through Another's Eyes
Lock eyes with an animal and spend 10 minutes staring deeply into its gaze. You pass out as your consciousness transfers into the creature as you gain control of it, seeing and experiencing everything that it does for up to 1 hour. You may voluntarily return to your body at any time, awakening from your stupor (this happens automatically if the creature dies or time runs out).

Seed to Stem
A seed you plant in the ground grows into a fully mature plant as you chant and gesture over it. This can take up to an hour depending on the size and complexity of the plant (a great redwood tree will take longer to grow than a daisy, for example). The seed does not need water, nutrients, or viable soil to grow (though it will need them if it is to survive for long); it merely needs to be planted in the ground and grown by this Ritual.

Speak to Animals
You speak the language of animals and can understand the barks, chirps, and mewlings of beasts as audible language. Likewise, these creatures can understand your speech as their own, allowing you to converse with them as easily as any other mortal.

Speak to Nature
Where others hear the rustling of trees and the babbling of brooks, you hear language and can communicate with nature in conversation. Nature is very literal and simple-minded with basic personalities (rocks are stubborn, waters are fickle, etc.). In any case, you are able to converse with stones, plants, and natural features as easily as you can with other mortals.

Afterwards, make a Feat with +1d6 for every 15 minutes spent on this Ritual.
