Circle of the Clans

The Circle of the Clans are commonly thought of as witches, or the wise-ones, adept keepers of lore, wisdom, and power. They gather on the plains at night under the stars and the light of the moon to work their magic. As a member of the circle, your magic is influenced by the particular path of witchcraft you are initiated into. This circle’s traits are the same as the Circle of the Land, except for the Circle Spells trait, as follows.

Circle Spells

The teachings or your circle and path grant you access to certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level, you gain circle spells based on your witch’s path: Dream-Rider, Herb-Runner, Lore-Keeper, Nature Rider, or Soothsayer. Once you gain access to a circle spell, you always have it prepared, and it does not count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is considered a druid spell for you.

Sidebar: Rhydan and Wild Shape

Rhydan druids can use the wild shape trait to assume beast forms other than their own, using the same guidelines as other druids, but they also have the additional option of using wild shape to assume a humanoid form like a use of the Ariser feat (see Feats at the end of this chapter). This requires one use of wild shape and otherwise conforms to the abilities of the Ariser feat.
