It’ll scale quickly, increasing in dice size every 4 levels, but even then it’s only by 1 on average. So, spending your reaction to deal 2 average damage is pretty pathetic.

The necrotic damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level, 1d8 at 10th level, and 1d10 at 14th level.ĭruids don’t really have much to do with their reaction, so causing something to just take damage is great! Do you know what’s a bit less great? When a creature you can see moves into a space within 10 feet of you or starts its turn there, you can use your reaction to deal 1d4 necrotic damage to that creature unless it succeeds on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. Starting at 2nd level, you are surrounded by invisible, necrotic spores that are harmless until you unleash them on a creature nearby. Other than spells known, you also get a damaging option that helps your melee capabilities. You get three whole abilities at level 2. Don’t be afraid to spam Blindness/Deafness on enemies with eyes! Blind is hard to recover from! Halo of Spores You even get area of effect, something really rare for druids! This is a fantastic way to get damage while enforcing your mastery of rot.īecause these spells are so good, you can prepare a bunch of spells that are useful utility abilities. Combat control, utility, summons, defense, and damage. In general, you’re getting a great spread here.

And both Animate Dead and Gaseous Form are very useful in the situations they come up!

Every level (other than 5th) has some spammable spells. Your options that you get for your spells always prepared are all great. Especially if the enemy looks rather weedy! Consider having both options, in case their AC is worse than their Constitution. It replaces the Druid’s Produce Flame quite readily, since disadvantage on attack rolls is so potent that it’s worth the risky Constitution save. In addition, at level 2, you gain the Chill Touch cantrip.Ĭhill Touch is a solid cantrip.
