Embracing the Druidic Circles
Circle of the Moon: Fierce Guardians
For those druids who revel in the raw power of nature, the Circle of the Moon offers unparalleled transformation abilities. These druids can shift into more powerful beasts, making them formidable in combat. Whether you're turning into a giant spider to scale walls or a tiger to pounce on your foes, the Circle of the Moon ensures you're always at the top of the food chain. Plus, with the ability to heal using your Wild Shape, you’re both a terror and a caretaker of the wild.
Circle of Dreams: Fey-Touched Healers
Druids of the Circle of Dreams tap into the enchanting power of the Feywild, bringing dreams and healing to life. With abilities that heal allies and create restful sanctuaries, these druids blur the line between reality and the fantastical. The Balm of the Summer Court allows you to heal your companions with Fey energy, making you a beacon of hope in the darkest of dungeons. Just try not to get too dreamy-eyed when facing a dragon.
Circle of Spores: Life and Death
Harnessing the eerie beauty of decay, Circle of Spores druids see life and death as a continuous cycle. These druids wield necrotic spores to damage foes and can even animate the dead to serve them. Their Halo of Spores ability lets them deal necrotic damage to nearby enemies, and Symbiotic Entity enhances their combat prowess with additional hit points and damage. Perfect for those who want to walk the line between life and undeath, bringing balance through decay.
Venture into a Hag’s Coven
Beware the Hag’s Deceptive Charm
Hags, those delightfully devious creatures, are masters of manipulation and dark magic. This issue delves into the treacherous world of hags and their covens. Whether it’s a green hag lurking in a dark forest, a sea hag haunting coastal waters, or a night hag tormenting dreams, each type of hag offers unique challenges and horrors. Their penchant for making twisted bargains means that every encounter is fraught with danger and dark humour. Remember, when dealing with hags, always read the fine print—your soul might depend on it.
Here Be Dragons!
Majestic and Terrifying
No D&D adventure is complete without encountering a dragon, and Issue 33 ensures you’re well-prepared. Dive into the lore of chromatic and metallic dragons, learning about their histories, abilities, and the role they play in the world. Chromatic dragons, aligned with Tiamat, bring chaos and destruction, while metallic dragons, followers of Bahamut, strive for justice and protection. Whether facing the fiery wrath of a red dragon or seeking the wisdom of a gold dragon, these ancient beings add a monumental presence to any campaign.

Whether you favour epic heroism with shorter rests or gritty realism with longer recovery times, these guidelines will help you tailor the rest mechanics to suit your campaign’s tone.
