===Design Notes: Druid Updates===
 +
<span class="mw-customtoggle-myDivision-dnotes" style="display:inline; float:right;">&nbsp;<sup>+</sup>&nbsp;</span>Here are the main updates in this class since its last playtest version:
 +
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-myDivision-dnotes">
 +
* Channel Nature has been cut in favor of restoring {{iplink|Wild Shape}} at 2nd level.
 +
* {{iplink|Druidic}} now also makes sure you always have Speak with Animals prepared.
 +
* {{iplink|Primal Order}} is a new 1st-level feature, which lets you improve your armor and weapon proficiencies or your spellcasting.
 +
* {{iplink|Wild Shape}} has returned to 2nd level. The feature has returned to using Beast stat blocks and has new rules for how you interact with those stat blocks. In addition, using Wild Shape is now a Bonus Action for all Druids, and Swim Speeds are available from the beginning.
 +
* {{iplink|Spellcasting}} has one noteworthy change: spell preparation is no longer tied to the level of your spell slots.
 +
* {{iplink|Wild Resurgence}} has moved from 15th level to 5th level and has been redesigned. The new feature answers the desire to have more flexibility between using Wild Shape and spells.
 +
* {{iplink|Elemental Fury}} is a new 7th-level feature, allowing the Druid to increase the effectiveness of their cantrips or their attacks with weapons and Wild Shape.
 +
* {{iplink|Commune with Nature}} is a new 9th-level feature.
 +
* {{iplink|Improved Elemental Fury}} is a new 15th-level feature, improving whatever option the Druid chose for Elemental Fury.
 +
* {{iplink|Archdruid}} now includes the ability to turn unexpended uses of Wild Shape into a spell slot. It’s also returned to 20th level, replacing Epic Boon (Epic Boon feats will return in a future UA, but they won’t be built into a class’s level progression).

Druid class [1]
Class Group: Priest
Primary Abiliy: Wisdom


Design Notes: Druid Updates

 + Here are the main updates in this class since its last playtest version:

  • Channel Nature has been cut in favor of restoring Wild Shape at 2nd level.
  • Druidic now also makes sure you always have Speak with Animals prepared.
  • Primal Order is a new 1st-level feature, which lets you improve your armor and weapon proficiencies or your spellcasting.
  • Wild Shape has returned to 2nd level. The feature has returned to using Beast stat blocks and has new rules for how you interact with those stat blocks. In addition, using Wild Shape is now a Bonus Action for all Druids, and Swim Speeds are available from the beginning.
  • Spellcasting has one noteworthy change: spell preparation is no longer tied to the level of your spell slots.
  • Wild Resurgence has moved from 15th level to 5th level and has been redesigned. The new feature answers the desire to have more flexibility between using Wild Shape and spells.
  • Elemental Fury is a new 7th-level feature, allowing the Druid to increase the effectiveness of their cantrips or their attacks with weapons and Wild Shape.
  • Commune with Nature is a new 9th-level feature.
