 Circle of Scales
Attune to Draconic Might
Druids of the Circle of Scales revere the fearsome
majesty of Dragons. Circles typically around adult or
older Dragons, specifically metallic ones given their
generally civil temperament, though circles involving
other Dragon types have been known to exist. Bonding
with the Dragon allows a Druid of this circle to assume
a draconic form, thereby gaining the ability to fly much
earlier than Druids of other circles.
Given the rarity of Dragons, this circle
understandably has few members. They are also
remarkably reclusive and avoid frequenting large cities,
lest they inadvertently lead greedy adventurers to their
Dragon’s lair.
Level 3: Draconic Forms
You can channel draconic magic when you assume a
Wild Shape form, granting you the benefits below.
Draconic Known Forms. Whenever you reach a Druid

 Time Sorcery
Alter the Flow of Time as You See Fit
Your innate magic comes from the fabric of time.
Perhaps you were exposed to very powerful temporal
magic, leaving its arcane signature upon your soul and
attuning you to similar magic. Or maybe Amaunator or
another deity of time bestowed a boon upon you.
A Chronomancer’s ability to alter the flow of time,
when used in clever ways, allows for a surprisingly wide
array of effects. The most obvious use of their magic is
in speeding themselves and their allies up, and slowing
their enemies down. The extent of these, however, can
vary. In extreme cases, their increase in agility can be
such that they seem to be teleporting, or their foes are
slowed down to such an extent that they seem frozen in
place. They can even spur injuries to heal faster and for
conditions to lapse more quickly, with some rumors
claiming that the most powerful Chronomancers can
employ time reversal to achieve these effects.

Seek the Glory of Battle
Your innate magic is rooted in the Heroic Domains
where slain heroes engage in eternal battle on fields of
glory. Perhaps you are a descendant of one such hero
whose spirit now resides on Ysgard, or perhaps one of
your parents was a paladin of Tyr or another god with
association to the plane and you were bestowed with
magic during your youth for their exceptional service to
their deity. Maybe you were even born on the plane itself
amid enchanted battle cries, and these battle cries echo
in your ears still, beckoning you to the battlefield.
Sorcerers of this bloodline tend to be thrill-seekers
who thrive in battle. They are not inherently belligerent,
but rarely would one decline an opportunity to partake
in combat. They are partial to drunken celebrations and
are often brash, unapologetic, and brave to a fault. This
