Naryan Class Options: The Circle of the City Druid and (Bonus: Garden Expanded Spell List)

Generally, druids reject civilization. The man-made towns and cities are, to them, often built upon the desecration of nature. They exist to create a balance between natural forces and the unnatural that would corrupt nature. Some druids, though, find nature everywhere and even in the densest cities in all of Sublanarya. This druids are often outcasts. They are rejected by other druids and often seen as eccentric by city-dwellers. But, to them, the urban environment is as natural as a forest or desert. To them, the urban environment, the man-made jungle of cobble streets and bricked buildings, are the natural evolution of an animal shaping their environment. To them a city is no different than an ant hill or a beaver dam.

To these city druids, the city speaks to them and they feel tasked with protecting them, restoring balances, and showing the beauty of nature even in the dingiest, dirtiest and dankest of ditches by the road side.

The Circle of the City is a fantastic archetype for urban fantasy campaigns with flavorful abilities that help them survive in the cityscape.

Street Fighter
You are used to scrapping in taverns and in alleyways with would-be punks.

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the Shillelagh cantrip.

Sewer Immunity

The plague-cured beggars are your friends and you are the shepherd of the city's sewers.

Starting at 2nd level, you are immune to poison and disease.

Crowd-Walker
In the urban environment, personal space is a premium resource and you generally ignore it. You have places to be.

Starting at 2nd level, you can move through your allies squares at full movement speed and you can move through enemy squares at half speed.

Seen but Unseen
Survival in the city is about knowing how to be ignored and how to notice those who are also trying to be ignored.

At 2nd level, you gain the Stealth and Perception skills.

Urban Shape
Each city you visit has a unique personality with different fashions and population diversity. You intend to blend into every city and often lose yourself in your personas.

Starting at 6th level, when you first enter a city you gain a new Urban Shape. You can take an action, upon entering a city, to transform into the Urban Shape. Your appearance magically transforms to match that of a unique humanoid.  However, your statistics and your equipment does not change with you. If you die, you revert to your natural appearance.

When you take on the town's or city's unique Urban Shape, you and your GM decide what you look like, including your height, weight, facial features, sound of your voice, hair length, coloration, and distinguishing characteristics, if any. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your statistics change. You can shift in size between Small and Medium. You can also change your clothes into a unique outfit that is paired with Urban Shape but if you revert to your normal form, they do as well. After you creature an Urban Shape for a city, at any time, you can take an action to transform into this form or back into your normal form.

While in your Urban Shape, you can add your proficiency bonus to all Intelligence checks that test your knowledge of the city and all Charisma checks to interact with citizens of the city.

Inanimate Chameleon
A bear or vulture stands out in a cityscape, but a pile of refuse does not.

Starting at 10th level, you gain the ability to, as an action, transform into a Medium sized inaminate object. This can be anything from a wagon wheel to a barrel to a potted plant. While in this shape, you must maintain concentration to remain in this shape. If another creature touches you, you must make a concentration check. While in this form, you do not need to breathe, eat or sleep. You cannot move and are indistinguishable from an ordinary object. You can stay in this shape for up to 1 hour.

Starting at 14th level, you can speak, read, write and understand all languages.
