Design Note: Circle of the Land Updates

 Here are the main updates in this subclass since the Player's Handbook (5e):

• Circle Spells now lets you pick a different land type each day. It has also absorbed the old Bonus Cantrip feature. The spell lists are shorter than their 2014 equivalents since the Druid can now change lists each day.
• Land's Aid is a new 3rd-level feature, which lets the Druid expend uses of Wild Shape to heal and harm in an area. • Natural Recovery is now at 6th level, replacing Land’s Stride, and enhances Circle Spells.
• Nature's Ward has been redesigned to be more useful and to interact with Circle Spells.
• Nature's Sanctuary has been redesigned to give the Druid another way to use Wild Shape and to provide protection to the Druid and allies.
