Description

A 81 year old (vis 29, +63 unaging years), 3'1 (0.93m), 40lbs (18kg) Small Gnathas covered in black carapace with a purple sheen and short black hairs (based on the geotrupes spiniger dung beetle). They have a tortle like shell and stand at a slight forward lean. They have a wide flat head with a very short horn on top, short mandibles below, brown compound eyes and short antenna on the sides. Their limbs are generally a little anthropromorised, the lower limbs each end in a single foot like piece, the upper limbs end in 3 fingered hands and the middle set are more bug-like.   They wear a loose short sleeved pale purple "shirt" (a shaped piece of clothe which is hooked onto the inside of their shell) and thick dark blue wool pants (held up by a thick leather belt also hooked to the shell). They have a faced bag on the front of the belt, a leather scroll star map that they hang between their middle limbs, a small silver-bladed sickle that glimmers softly with moonlight and an unpainted wooden heater shield made from the hull of an astral ship and carved with an astral constelation.

Spellcasting. Drawing on the divine essence of nature itself, you can cast spells to shape that essence to your will.   Preparing and Casting Spells. To cast one of these druid 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. You prepare the list of druid spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When you do so, choose a number of druid spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Druid level (10). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of druid spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.   Ritual Casting. You can cast a druid spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. (Detect Magic, Augury   Spellcasting Focus. You can use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells.   Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement to 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 = 17 = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier   Spell attack modifier = +9 = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier   Cantrips. Frostbite, Guidance, Gust, Thorn Whip   1st (4). Guiding Bolt, Absorb Elements, Detect Magic, Cure Wounds, Longstrider   2nd (3). Augury, Lesser Restoration, Pass Without Trace   3rd (2). Dispel Magic, Erupting Earth, Revivify (2 Diamonds)

Spider Climb. Can walk up walls and on ceilings at half speed   Natural Armour. When you aren't wearing armour, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armour to determine your AC if the armour you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armour.   Star Map. You've created a star chart as part of your heavenly studies. It is a Tiny object and can serve as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells. While holding this map, you have these benefits:

• You know the Guidance cantrip.
• You have the Guiding Bolt spell prepared. It counts as a druid spell for you, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can have prepared.
• You can cast Guiding Bolt without expending a spell slot. You can do so a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

If you lose the map, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to magically create a replacement. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous map.   Wild Shape. You can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. You can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of 1/2 or lower that doesn't have a flying speed. You can stay in a beast shape for 2 hours. You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
• When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form, For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
• You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. 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.
• 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. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

  Wild Companion. You gain the ability to summon a spirit that assumes an animal form: as an action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to cast the Find Familiar spell, without material components. When you cast the spell in this way, the familiar is a fey instead of a beast, and the familiar disappears after 2 hours.   Special Items. +1 Moon Sickle (A), Driftglobe, Bag of Holding, 4x Lanterns of Tracking (Aberrations, Celestials, Elementals, Fiends)
