Druidic Order

Upon becoming a druid, you align yourself with a druidic order, which grants you a class feat, an order spell (see below), and an additional trained skill tied to your order. While you’ll always be a member of your initial order, it’s not unheard of for a druid to request to study with other orders in search of greater understanding of the natural world, and PC druids are among the most likely to blend the powers of different orders.

Order spells are a type of focus spell. It costs 1 Focus Point to cast a focus spell, and you start with a focus
pool of 1 Focus Point. You refill your focus pool during your daily preparations, and you can regain 1 Focus
Point by spending 10 minutes using the Refocus activity to commune with local nature spirits or otherwise tend to the wilderness in a way befitting your order.

Focus spells are automatically heightened to half your level rounded up, much like cantrips. Focus spells don’t
require spell slots to cast, and you can’t cast them using spell slots. Selecting druid feats can give you more focus spells and increase the size of your focus pool, though your focus pool can never hold more than 3 points. The full rules for focus spells appear in Chapter 7 on page 300.

Animal

You have a strong connection to beasts, and you are allied with a beast companion. You are trained in Athletics. You also gain the Animal Companion druid feat. You gain the heal animal order spell. Committing wanton cruelty to animals or killing animals unnecessarily is anathema to your order. (This doesn’t prevent you
from defending yourself against animals or killing them cleanly for food.)

Leaf

You revere plants and the bounty of nature, acting as both a gardener and warden for the wilderness, teaching
sustainable techniques to communities, and helping areas regrow after disasters or negligent humanoid
expansion. You are trained in Diplomacy. You also gain the Leshy Familiar druid feat. You gain the goodberry order spell, and you increase the number of Focus Points in your focus pool by 1. Committing wanton cruelty to plants or killing plants unnecessarily is anathema to your order. (This doesn’t prevent you from defending yourself against plants or harvesting them when necessary for survival.)

Storm

You carry the fury of the storm within you, channeling it to terrifying effect and riding the winds through the
sky. You are trained in Acrobatics. You also gain the Storm Born druid feat. You gain the tempest surge order spell, and you increase the number of Focus Points in your focus pool by 1. Polluting the air or allowing those who cause major air pollution or climate shifts to go unpunished is anathema to your order. (This doesn’t
force you to take action against merely potential harm to the environment or to sacrifice yourself against an
obviously superior foe.)

Wild

The savage, uncontrollable call of the natural world infuses you, granting you the ability to change your
shape and take on the ferocious form of a wild creature. You are trained in Intimidation. You also gain the
Wild Shape druid feat. You gain the wild morph order spell. Becoming fully domesticated by the temptations of civilization is anathema to your order. (This doesn’t prevent you from buying and using processed goods or staying in a city for an adventure, but you can never come to rely on these conveniences or truly call such a place your permanent home.)
