### Chosen Form
You adopt a particular form as your specialty. As an action, you may shift into your chosen form. You may stay in form indefinitely, and may revert to your normal form as a bonus action.
You automatically revert back if a spell or effect causes you to fall unconcious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. Reverting to your normal form does not affect your hit points, and you retain all effects and wounds received while transformed.
While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
* You retain your scores, saves, proficiencies, health, hit dice, speed, and all other character statistics unless otherwise noted.
* You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
* You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Your equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
Choose one of the following forms. You can't choose a form more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
#### Dryad

Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
### Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. In addition, your attacks in your chosen form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

### Willow
The willow grove combines the form mastery common to all druids with a careful study of nature magic. They focus their study on two of the eight schools of magic: transmutation and evocation. Transmutation spells grant the druid a deeper understanding of the properties of nature, and evocation spells deal damage to many foes at once or heal allies. Druids learn a comparitively small number of spells, focusing instead on flexibility in combat.
#### Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you augment your prowess with the ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the druid spell list.
You can't cast spells while in your chosen form unless otherwise specified. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
**Cantrips**. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the druid spell list. You learn an additional druid cantrip of your choice at 10th level.
**Spell Slots.** The Willow Druid Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell cure wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you
can cast cure wounds using either slot.
**Spells Known of 1st-LeveI and Higher**. You know three 1st-level druid spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the transmutation and evocation spells on the druid spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Willow Druid Spellcasting table shows when you learn more druid spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be a transmutation or evocation spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this c1ass, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.
\page
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the druid spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be a transmutation or evocation spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 8th, 14th, or 20th level.
**Spellcasting Ability**. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since you learn your spells through the careful study of nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
> **Spell save DC** = 8 + prof bonus + Wisdom mod.
> **Spell attack modifier** = prof bonus + Wisdom mod.
#### Quick Form
At 3rd level, you may shift into your chosen form as a bonus action. You may only shift this way twice per short rest.
#### Form Magic
Beginning at 7th level while in your chosen form, you may cast one cantrip in form without the normal components and you may also make one attack as a bonus action. This must be either a Claw attack or using the short bow from your chosen form.
#### Balanced Strike
At 10th level, you learn how to make your chosen form attacks undercut a creature's resistance to your spells. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, that creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes against a spell you cast before the end of your next turn.
#### Nature's Leap
At 15th level, you gain the ability to harness the winds to allow you to deftly leap to an unoccupied space you can see. Creatures may not make Opportunity Attacks against you during this leap. You may use this feature twice per short rest.
#### Beast Spells
Beginning at 18th level, you can cast many of your druid spells in any shape you assume using Wild Shape. You can perform the somatic and verbal components of a druid spell while in a beast shape, but you aren’t able to provide material components.
