DM Entry: Ecclesiastic Druid (Class Option)

This is something I was working on for a while and then forgot about. But since Dan brought up a similar idea, I thought I would finish this up. I borrowed from elements of the Druid class from D&D 5th edition and Druid options from AD&D 2nd edition. And then tossed in a pinch of Dan's ideas to round it out. This has been added to the Aryathan Jiil Classes and Prestige Classes.pdf and uploaded to the google drive.

Druid: Ecclesiastic Druid

This is a specialist druid. If you take a level of ecclesiastic druid you cannot later take a level of druid, and vice versa; much like a specialist wizard.

Lose: An ecclesiastic druid permanently gives up the ability to wild shape.

Gain: Instead, the ecclesiastic druid chooses to join a conclave. Each conclave type has four associated domains. The ecclesiastic druid gains access to two chosen domains from those associated domains in the same way a cleric does, including the granted powers. The ecclesiastic druid also gains an additional spell slot of each spell level she is able to cast, which can only be used to cast one of her domain spells. Just like cleric domains, the domain spells are not automatically on the druid spell list and thus cannot be prepared in non-domain spell slots unless it otherwise appears on the druid spell list.

Additionally, the ecclesiastic druid gains an at-will zero level spell, as listed with the chosen conclave. The caster level for this spell-like ability is equal to your ecclesiastic druid level.
