Druid 2E conversion ¶

For 13th Age 2nd Edition V1.01

This conversion of the 13th Age Druid class from 13 True Ways to 2nd Edition focuses on preserving as much of the original design as possible while adapting to the 2E framework, streamlining and simplifying. It removes a few balance problems like low AC and feat taxes, and adds a few options where the original class was low on choices.

Animal Companion: Updated the companion to use the 2E rules in the Ranger class, and granted initiates a small amount of companion spells (which they didn’t get before)

Elemental Caster: Switched a spontaneous caster model. Expanded the spell list.

Shifter: You can now evolve your active beast aspect by expending other aspects, rather than stacking them. Otherwise, mostly simplification by removing rules baggage.

Terrain Caster: Mostly rules updates and streamlining, like making sure all terrains have at-will spells.

Warrior: The main change is switching to 1/battle maneuvers similar to the 2E Fighter.

Wild Healer: While the talent is still focused on healing spells, it is now a spontaneous caster with a more diverse spell list that adds a variety of other support effects.

Druid Class Features ¶

Druids use divine implements, such as symbols and staffs, to improve their spellcasting.

Adept vs. Initiate ¶

Druids can choose up to three talents to have many useful aptitudes, or they can specialize by taking one talent twice (in combination with one other talent). A druid who chooses three separate talents is an initiate in each one. Taking a talent twice allows the druid to become adept in that talent, thereby gaining more power at the expense of options, and an initiate in another talent.

Strength or Dexterity Melee ¶

As a druid, you choose whether you want to use Strength or Dexterity as the ability score you will use to determine attack and damage for your basic attacks. Choosing Strength as your melee attack ability score provides one significant benefit: your recovery dice become d10s instead of the d6s used by other druids. Choosing Dexterity as your melee attack ability score works well because Dexterity already boosts your initiative and ranged weapon attacks and might help your AC.

Environmental Adaption ¶

You never suffer from natural weather-related cold, heat, or exposure. You can go longer than most people without eating or drinking, but only a couple days longer.

Nature Talking ¶

You can talk to plants and animals. If there is useful information to gain, roll a skill check that’s appropriate for the tier. Talking to animals requires a hard DC, and plants usually require a ridiculously hard DC. A druid gains a +1 bonus when talking with animals for every talent spent on the Shifter or Animal Companion talents, and a +1 bonus when talking with plants for every talent spent on the Terrain Caster talent.

Adventurer Feat: You gain a +5 bonus to any skill checks involved with talking to plants and animals.

Druid Feats ¶

Zenith Feat: Hierophant—Gain an additional druid talent (for either 2x Adept; 2x Adept 1x Initiate; or 4x Initiate)

Druid Talents ¶

Each of your talents unlocks pools of spells and powers that are not available to characters who lack the talent. Druids who choose to be an adept with a talent gain additional benefits and powers in that talent.

Animal Companion: You have a capable beast to fight alongside you in battle, and spells to support it.

Elemental Caster: This talent grants access to a wide range of per-arc spells associated with air, earth, fire, and water. It also provides access to summoned elementals. You also gain at-will spell attacks.

Shifter: This talent enables you to shift your form in two ways: scout form transformations into quick-moving animals for out of combat reconnaissance, and beast form transformations into combat-ready predators.

Terrain Caster: Druids with this talent attune to the environment around them, which then determines the spells they have access to.

Warrior Druid: This talent lets a druid use attack maneuvers that enable them to fight as a serious melee combatant in humanoid form. Generally, this talent makes druids into weapon and shield users, but it can also integrate with the Shifter talent while a druid fights in beast form.

Wild Healer: This talent gives access to a variety of healing spells, to be a primary healer in any adventuring group.

Animal Companion ¶

You have a normal-sized animal companion that fights alongside you in battle. It follows the same rules as the Animal Companion talent in the Ranger class (HH 142). (However, it does not count as a Hunter or Warrior talent as those benefits are exclusive to the Ranger class.)

As an animal companion initiate, with only one talent spent, your animal companion is somewhat less reliable than the ranger’s or the adept druid’s.

• It does not join the fight on even initiative rolls. You always have to call it into battle with the Call Them In power (HH 142).
• Should it leave the battlefield (usually because it took more damage than the hit point threshold), you won’t be able to call it back into the same battle.

As an adept, your animal companion follows the same rules as the ranger’s companion for entering fights.

As an animal companion adept, your companion is infused with strong druidic magic, and you gain a companion one level higher than your own level!

Animal Companion Spells ¶

Another benefit of the druid over the ranger is that with the Animal Companion talent, you gain a number of spells to help your animal companion—or another’s—fight better. You don’t have to choose the spells you know ahead of time. You can cast any spell of your level or lower, limited only by the number of per-arc spells you get. Once you cast a particular per-arc spell, you can’t cast it again until you take your next full heal-up.

Elemental Caster ¶

As an elemental caster, you can summon elementals and draw on the raw magic of nature, providing many powerful per-arc spells.

To cast their spells, elemental casters must attune to one or more elements during a full heal-up. There are four elements, fire, water, air and earth, and two types of attunement: major and minor.

Major attunement ¶

As an initiate, you gain one major attunement to one element. As an adept, you gain major attunements to two different elements.

Major attunement to an element grants you:

• The element’s at-will spell.
• One per-arc spell slot. You can use this slot to cast any per-arc spell of that element. At the time of casting, you choose any spell of that element of your level or lower, and you cast it at your level.

Minor attunement ¶

Minor attunement to an element grants you a per-arc spell slot for any spell of that element (other than the at-will spell and Summon Elemental), chosen at the time of casting.

Initiates get one minor attunement at 8th level. Adepts get one at level 5 and a second at level 9. (see the table below).

You can choose any of the four elements for your minor attunements, and you can attune to the same elements multiple times.

Elemental Summoning ¶

• At third level, adepts can summon an elemental 1/arc, chosen from either of their two major attunements. At 7th level, they can summon an elemental twice per arc.
• Initiates can summon an elemental 1/arc, from their major attuned element, starting from 4th level.

Adventurer Feat: Reattune—You can change one of your major or minor attunements during each quick rest. Note that this does not regain expended spell slots, so any arc spells or elemental summoning you have already cast remain expended.

Adventurer Feat: You can target far away enemies with your elemental caster at-will spells.

Champion Feat: Increase your crit range with elemental caster at-will spells by 2.

If you’re straining to come up with nasty ways to use the wall, you’re breaking the spirit of the spell, since it’s just supposed to be a stone wall that blocks most other creatures’ movements.

You, the spellcasting druid, can move through the wall at will, but you can’t end your turn inside it.

The wall isn’t permanent: walls of stone generally disappear at sunrise or sunset.

Elemental Summoning ¶

Elemental casters can summon elementals with the four elemental summoning spells: summon air elemental, summon earth elemental, summon fire elemental, and summon water elemental.

To cast an elemental summoning spell, you must have a major attunement to its element.

Adepts gain one per arc use of elemental summoning at 3rd level, and a second at 7th level. Initiates gain one use at 4th level.

See the spell entries below for the elemental’s combat stats. (They are the same stats as listed in 13 True Ways, with the hit point adjusted to 50% as summoned creatures have half hp of the “free” version).

(Note: Also fixing errata in 13 True Ways with the Epic Water Elemental’s damage and healing)

Each elemental that’s at least 5th level has a transformation ability that greatly improves its effectiveness in battle. At the start of each of the elemental’s turns, roll a d10. If the roll is equal to the escalation die or lower, the elemental transforms. At 7th level, roll a 8. At 9th level, roll a d6.

Summoning Rules ¶

Location ¶

The creature(s) you summon appear(s) next to you.

Duration ¶

A summoned creature fights for you until the end of the battle or until it drops to 0 hit points. At 0 hp, summoned creatures are removed from the battle.

One summoning spell at a time ¶

Each spellcaster can have only a single summoning spell active at a time. If you cast another summoning spell while you have a creature summoned, that effect ends and the creature is dismissed.

You can also dismiss a summoned creature as a quick action.

Initiative Order and Actions ¶

The summoned creature takes its turn immediately after your turn in initiative order. During its turn, the summoned creature can act like any other creature, taking a standard, move, and quick action.

(Summoned creatures don’t roll initiative and don’t need an initiative bonus.)

Escalation die ¶

Summoned creatures benefit from the escalation die.

Allies ¶

Summoned creatures generally count as your allies (for roleplaying as well as for resolving effects).

No recoveries, bad healing ¶

Summoned creatures don’t have recoveries. If you cast a healing spell on a summoned creature that requires the use of a recovery, the summoned creature heals hit points equal to your level. If you use an effect that would heal a summoned creature without using a recovery, the summoned creature only heals half the normal hit points of the effect. Temporary hit points still work normally.

Spell or creature ¶

When a summoning spell is cast, it’s a spell and can be affected by things such as counter-magic. After casting the spell, a summoned creature is a creature.

Summon Air Elemental (3rd level) ¶

Ranged spell; 1/arc (Special)

Effect: You summon a 3rd level small air elemental (17 hp).

Adventurer Feat: Boon of Earth—Enemies roll two d20 when they attempt to disengage from elementals you summon, and must take the lower result.

Adventurer Feat: Boon of Fire—When an elemental you have summoned drops to 0 hp, one enemy engaged with it takes damage equal to your level + double your Wisdom modifier.

Adventurer Feat: Boon of Water—Each elemental you summon gains temporary hit points equal to your level the first time each turn it rolls a natural even attack roll.

Adventurer Feat: Flexible Location—Your summoned creatures can arrive anywhere you can see nearby, instead of needing to appear beside you.

Adventurer Feat: Reinforced Summon—When you summon a non-mook creature, your summoned creature increases its base hit points by 6 (1d10) plus your Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier, whichever is higher.

Champion Feat: Greater Reinforced Summon (replaces adventurer feat)—When you summon a non-mook creature, your summoned creature increases its base hit points by 11 (2d10) plus double your Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier, whichever is higher. (At 8th level, 16 (3d10) plus 4x the modifier.)

Epic Feat: Once per arc when you heal using a recovery, a creature you summoned can heal the same amount, ignoring the usual restrictions on limited healing for summoned creatures.

Epic Feat: Gain an additional per-arc use of elemental summoning (but you are still limited by the once per battle limit of arc powers).

Shifter ¶

You glory in shifting into the forms of animals that nature blessed with keen eyes, swift wings, and terrible fangs. You also gain a number of aspects that you can assume while battling in beast form to improve your capabilities.

Shifter Initiate and Adept Level Progression ¶

Druid Level	Initiate Combat recon per arc	Adept Combat recon per arc	Initiate Beast form per arc*	Initiate Beast Aspects per arc	Adept Beast Aspects per arc
Level 1	1	1	1	1	2
Level 2	1	1	1	1	3
Level 3	1	1	1	1	3
Level 4	1	1	1	1	4

Level 7	1	2	2	1	5
Level 8	2	3	3	2	5
Level 9	2	3	3	2	6
Level 10	2	3	3	2	6

*Adepts can turn into Beast Form at-will.

Scout Form ¶

Scout forms are magical versions of normal, smaller animals that are useful for scouting, such as bobcats, coyotes, owls, lizards, dire rats, giant spiders, and so on. However, you don’t look like a natural animal; there’s something extremely magical about you.

In scout form, you can talk, but you can’t cast spells. Your magical items and possessions change shape with you, but you don’t get to use them in scout form.

As an initiate, you gain two points towards a background that represents your animal capabilities and instincts in scout form. As an adept, you gain three points.

Shifting Into Scout Form and Back ¶

Transforming between humanoid, beast and scout requires a quick action. You can shift into and out of scout form at-will.

Fighting in Scout Form ¶

Fighting in scout form should be avoided. You cannot use weapons or basic attacks. You have your normal defenses, but taking damage transforms you back into humanoid form.

Combat Recon ¶

In scout form, you scout for enemies to gain an advantage in an upcoming battle. You can use this a number of times per arc as per the level advancement table. (You can scout as often as you like, but only the per-arc use provides the benefit below.)

Using Combat Recon requires a skill check.

Before rolling initiative, you expend one per arc Combat Recon and roll a skill check to see how successful you were with your combat recon. Typically this roll will be Wisdom-based.

You’ll normally roll against the standard difficulty of the current environment. In an adventurer-tier area, the normal check starts at DC 15, a hard check is DC 20, and a ridiculously hard check is DC 25. Champion tier increases the DC by 5, and epic tier by 5 more. A successful check that qualifies for a higher DC gains you the information/advantage for that result, plus any lower results.

Failure: Nothing came of your scouting.

Normal success: You gain a +4 bonus to initiative this battle. It also negates any chance of an ambush or surprise by the enemy you’ve scouted.

Hard success: Choose one:

• You grant your allies a +2 bonus to initiative this battle.

• As a free action at some point during the battle, you can grant one of your allies a reroll on an attack roll or save. That ally must take the new result.

• As a free action at some point during the battle, you can reroll on an attack roll or save.

• You gain an icon relationship benefit with an appropriate icon chosen by the GM (also roll for complication).

Ridiculously hard success: The GM chooses a second benefit from the list above.

Champion Feat: If you choose to gain a reroll from your combat recon, you gain two instead of one, and the reroll has a +2 bonus.

Epic Feat: You now get one additional benefit on a normal success, two on a hard success, and three on a ridiculously hard success.

Beast Form ¶

Transforming between humanoid, beast and scout requires a quick action. As initiate, usage of your beast form is limited per arc. As adept, you can shift into and out of beast form at-will.

Beast Form Shift ¶

Close-quarters power; Initiate: 1/arc, Adept: at-will; Quick action

Effect: You leave your humanoid form behind and assume the form of a deadly predator such as a wolf, panther, tiger, bear, wolverine, lion, or another animal that you are naturally connected to. Stick to four-legged natural predators, not creatures with supernatural abilities or the ability to fly. You don’t always have to change into the same thing—your choices can suit the story.In beast form, you can speak and cast spells.

Adept only: When shifting into beast form, you can activate one of your beast aspects as a free action.

5th level: Initiates can now use this power 2/arc

8th level: Initiates can now use this power 3/arc.

Beast aspects: While in beast form, you can take on aspects of different beasts to help you in battle (see below).

While in beast form, you attack in melee using a beast form attack.

Beast Form Attack ¶

Melee attack; At-Will

Attack: Strength or Dexterity + Level vs. AC

Natural Even Hit: 1d10 damage per level + Strength or Dexterity damage.

Natural Odd Hit: 1d6 damage per level + Strength or Dexterity damage.

Natural Even Miss: Half damage of an even hit.

Natural Odd Miss: Half damage of an odd hit.

8th / 9th / 10th level: Like a basic attack, this attack deals +5 / +10 / +15 damage in epic tier.

Adventurer Feat: Once per battle, reroll a miss with Beast Form Attack and use the second roll.

Epic Feat: You gain a new power: shake it off.

Shake It Off ¶

Special: You gain access to this power by taking the epic feat for beast form attack. To use it, you must be using at least one beast aspect.

Recharge 16+ after battle; Free action

Trigger: You take damage while fighting in beast form

Effect: You end a beast aspect power that you are using and then take only 6d6 damage from the triggering attack and ignore the rest of the damage. You still suffer any other effects of the attack (including ongoing damage).

Beast Aspects ¶

Beast aspects are powers you can use while in beast form to help you in battle. You choose the aspects you know at each full heal-up. You can select any of the following aspects beginning at 1st level.

You can use only one beast aspect at a time and using another aspect ends the previous one.

Beast aspect bonuses: Many beast aspects provide bonuses to defenses or attacks.

Effects: Beast aspects can only be activated and only affect you while you are in beast form, which means that every aspect should be understood to read “while in beast form” for all its effects and powers.

Aspects last until the end of the battle or until you shift out of beast form.

Evolve: Each Beast Aspect has an evolved form. You activate a beast aspect’s evolved form by expending a different, unused aspect (you don’t gain the benefits of the expended aspect). Evolving an aspect is a quick action.

Bear Aspect ¶

Beast aspect; 1/arc; Quick action

Until the end of the battle, while in beast form you gain a +2 bonus to attacks and add twice your level damage against normal-strength enemies and mooks.

When you first shift into this aspect, you can spend a recovery. Instead of healing, gain temporary hit points equal to the recovery roll.

Evolve: You gain a +2 bonus to AC, and the attack bonus is now +3 instead of +2.

Adventurer feat: Double the temporary hit points gained when spending a recovery with this aspect.

Behemoth Aspect ¶

Beast aspect; 1/arc; Quick action

You gain a +2 bonus to AC and PD.

The first time you become staggered this battle, choose one of the two following benefits.

Endurance: You can heal using a recovery.

Wrath: Begin rolling 2d20 for each of your melee attacks and choose the result you prefer until the end of the battle or until you make both rolls for a melee attack and each roll is a natural 10 or less.

Evolve: Increase the AC and PD bonus to +3. You now gain both effects when staggered (if you are already staggered, gain the one you didn’t choose.)

Adventurer Feat: The recovery from the endurance effect now grants double the healing.

Mantis Aspect ¶

Beast aspect; 1/arc; Quick action

You gain a +1d3 bonus to AC and a +1d3 bonus to PD.

Until the end of the battle, when an enemy engaged with you fails a disengage check, you can make an opportunity attack against it.

Evolve: Increase the AC and PD bonus by 1.When an enemy attempts to disengage from you while you are using this aspect, it takes a penalty to the check equal to your Strength or Dexterity modifier.

Adventurer feat: On natural odd miss with beast form attack, you deal half damage (instead of equal to level).

Leopard Aspect ¶

Beast aspect; 1/arc; Quick action

You gain a +2 bonus to AC. You also gain a +2 bonus to disengage checks and to saves against being stuck, dazed, or stunned.

Until the end of the battle, when an enemy misses you with a melee attack and rolls a natural 1–4, you gain an additional standard action during your next turn. You can only gain one additional standard action a turn this way. (This includes extra standard actions gained in other ways, such as elven grace).

Evolve: Increase the AC, disengage and save bonuses to +3. You now get an extra standard action on any enemy miss, not just melee attacks.

Owlbear Aspect ¶

Beast aspect; 1/arc; Quick action

You gain a +1 bonus to melee attacks and a +2 bonus to AC and PD, and your crit range with melee attacks expands by 2.

Evolve: When you score a critical hit, you heal hit points equal to your level + your Wisdom modifier (double your Wisdom modifier at 5th level; triple it at 8th level). While you are in this aspect, your critical hits with melee attacks deal triple damage instead of double damage.

Tiger Aspect ¶

Beast aspect; 1/arc; Quick action

Increase the size of your beast form melee attack damage dice by one size (for example, d6s become d8s, and d10s become d12s). You also gain the benefits of two-weapon fighting: if your attack roll is a natural 2, the attack is a hit.

Evolve: When you move and then attack an enemy you were not engaged with at the start of your turn, you can reroll your first natural odd attack roll each turn, but must use the reroll.

Wolverine Aspect ¶

Beast aspect; 1/arc; Quick action

You gain a +1 bonus to all defenses. When your melee attacks hit a double-strength or stronger enemy, the target takes +3 (1d4) extra damage.

You can also rally once this battle as a quick action instead of a standard action.

Evolve: You now get the bonus damage against normal-strength enemies too. Increase the defense bonus to +2.

Your extra melee damage while using this aspect increases according to your level:

2nd level: +4 (1d6) damage

3rd level: +5 (1d8) damage

4th level: +6 (1d10) damage

5th level: +8 (2d6) damage

Terrain Caster ¶

There are eight different ranges of terrain that are relevant to druidic magic:

• cave, dungeon, underworld
• forest, woods
• ice, snowfields, tundra
• migration route (large herd animal)
• mountains
• plains, overworld
• ruins
• swamp, lake, river

Choose the terrains you are attuned to during each full healup based on what best matches the nearby area. Any ambiguity should be decided by the GM.

As an initiate, you attune to one terrain at a time. As an adept, you attune to two terrains at a time.

You can change your terrain attunement during a quick rest if you wish.

As initiate, you gain access to one at-will spell of the terrain you are attuned to. As adept, you gain one for each of your two terrains.

You can cast any per-arc spell of your attuned terrain(s), of your level or lower. You cast them at your level. You choose the spell at the time of casting. You don’t need to prepare them in advance. Once you have cast a per-arc spell, you cannot cast the same spell again that arc.

Some terrain caster spells are per-battle. You can cast these spells using your per-arc spells slots. You gain the spell slot back at the end of the battle, however you can only cast per-battle spells in that slot for the rest of the arc.

Adventurer Feat: Gain the adventurer feat listed under individual terrain caster at-will spells.

Adventurer Feat: Enduring Magic—Once per battle, when you deal ongoing damage to a target with a terrain caster spell, the target must succeed at two saves to end the effect.

Champion Feat: Attunement Boon—Gain the benefit of the attunement champion feat listed under each terrain below.

Champion Feat: Survivor—Gain resistance based on the terrains you are attuned to.

• Cave, dungeon, underworld: resist necro 16+
• forest, woods: resist poison 16+
• ice, snowfields, tundra: resist cold 16+
• migration route (large herd animal): resist attacks from normal-sized and smaller creatures 16+
• mountains: resist fire 16+
• plains, overworld: resist lightning 16+
• ruins: resist psychic 16+
• swamp, lake, river: resist poison 16+

Champion Feat: Wide Terrain—Once per battle, target an additional enemy or ally with a terrain spell that has two or more targets.

Special: You must cast this spell as a ritual, which takes at least a few minutes.

Effect: You dig into the memory of the Koru to receive visions of places along its path. Note that a Koru will only pass any place once per year, so the image you receive will always be the same season. It will not show specific events, unless they happened right before the Koru’s eyes and were impressive enough to be noticed by a walking landmass. The longer you concentrate on this spell, the further back in history you can go. In an hour, you can span a century, and in a full day of concentration, you will be able to cover an entire age. If you are planning to scry into past ages, make sure you give yourself enough time for uninterrupted meditation. You can take breaks to eat or sleep, but strenuous activity like combat will throw your mind off and you need to start again.

Migratory Teleport (7th level) ¶

Ranged spell; 1/arc

Effect: You and up to 5 allies next to you can teleport to the site of any migratory beast herd in the world.

When you teleport, roll a d20. If you roll a 1, something unusual intervenes and you arrive at a different herd site than you had intended (GM’s choice). Otherwise, you and your allies arrive somewhere near the desired herd. Unlike the wizard’s 9th level teleport spell, this spell doesn’t allow you to choose your precise destination.

Any effects of spells or items cast/created before teleporting are canceled and no longer function on arrival, so it’s best to wait and use such spells after you arrive.

9th level: You can now try to teleport to any location along the migration route. Stabbing your finger on the world map suffices, but your aim won’t be perfect. Attempts to teleport to places off the map to the north or west usually don’t work.

Design Notes

Major changes from 1E Druid

• Default 2E changes: No more fixed ability score bonus. Day -> arc, increased basic attack damage and recoveries at epic level, bonus to recoveries, x4 damage multiplier, improved ability score increase, no extra icon relationships at higher tier
• Increased base AC in light armor to 12 for all druids (no longer requires warrior)
• Spells are always cast at class level
• Spells no longer add ability scores to damage
• Changed a number of targeting restrictions (spell only works against certain enemies) into a bonus to attack against those enemies instead.
• Reduced instances of conditions and save ends effects on miss
• Removed most instances of free recoveries (or at least pushed them to higher levels) to avoid messing with the resource economy.
• Animal companion now refers to 2E ranger talent
• Animal companion initiate gets a small number of companion spells
• Added Animal Companion spells from DATP
• At-will spells for elemental caster no longer require feats, you get one per talent spent
• Changed elemental caster to a pseudo-spontaneous caster. They choose an element for each slot, then cast any spell of that element.
• Separated out the slots for elemental summoning.
• Fixed the hp entries in the elemental summoning spells to match the creature entries in 13TW (should be ½)
• Added even levels for elementals.
• Removed extra rule that summoned elementals need to succeed twice to unlock their more powerful form.
• Shifter scout form simplified.
• Shifter scout bonus background is no longer random, it’s permanent skill points.
• Removed a bunch of special limitations in Shifter that don’t match the 13A approach of keeping things simple. For example, can now speak and cast spells in beast form by default.
• Adept Shifters no longer get a 16+ Recharge on aspects per default. Gave +1 aspect at different levels to compensate. Can still gain this via feat.
• Shifter initiates now get the same benefits from aspects as adepts.
• Shifter Initiate no longer gets the beast form attack reroll on miss. Adept only gets it on even miss.
