Circle of the Shepherd - Druid Subclass

CIRCLE OF THE SHEPHERD

Druids of the Circle of the Shepherd commune with the spirits of nature, especially the spirits of beasts and the fey, and call to those spirits for aid. These druids recognize that all living things play a role in the natural world, yet they focus on protecting animals and fey creatures that have difficulty defending themselves. Shepherds, as they are known, see such creatures as their charges. They ward off monsters that threaten them, rebuke hunters who kill more prey than necessary, and prevent civilization from encroaching on rare animal habitats and on sites sacred to the fey.

Many of these druids are happiest far from cities and towns, content to spend their days in the company of animals and the fey creatures of the wilds. Members of this circle become adventurers to oppose forces that threaten their charges or to seek knowledge and power that will help them safeguard their charges better. Wherever these druids go, the spirits of the wilderness are with them.

This mod is the closest adaptation I was able to achieve in the game with my modding knowledge and game limitations. While some features may vary, if you are already familiar with the tabletop version, I think you'll find this to satisfy your craves of roaming the land with your animal companions! This mod currently adds the entire subclass, two extra summoning spells (Summon Beast and Conjure Animals), two new summons for Conjure Woodland Beings (Blink Dogs and Meenlock), and six new items.

PRE-INSTALL WARNING: This mod has two versions: the currently supported, new "balanced" version, which makes all summon spells Concentration spells, and the original version, which keeps all summon spells as non-concentration, one time use. While with the old version you can stack all your summons, with the new version you can only have one summon active at the time, with exceptions. Download whichever is your preference, but from now on I will be updating the new version only.
