Circle of Harvest
The Circle of Harvest grants druids a powerful connection to vitality and life, of which they use to cultivate plants and creatures in order to sustain more life. As such, these druids are an essential to any drought or poor harvests, allowing the hungry to survive off of their now enriched food that would have failed to feed them before. Just pray that through these acts of "kindness", these druids aren't enriching you for some other creatures.
Circle Spells
When you follow this circle at 2nd level, your connection to life and death grants you spells that allow you to manipulate both aspects, granting you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Harvest Spells table.
Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn't appear on the Druid Spell List, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Bountiful Harvests
Also at 2nd level, you can grow bountiful fruits and vegetables from the recently dead. As a bonus action, you can cause a plant to grow from a corpse you can see within 60 feet of you. You can also do this by spending a reaction when a creature within 60 feet of you dies. You decide which plant grows from this corpse, choosing from the options below.
- Fruit of Plenty. A creature who eats this fruit regains hit points equal to two rolls of the deceased creature's hit die.
- Stout Vegetable. A creature who eats this vegetable has advantage on the next saving throw they makes before the end of their next turn.
- Remedial Herbs. A creature who eats these herbs gain resistance to poison damage, and has advantage on saving throws against poison and diseases until the end of their next turn. If this creature was poisoned, it is instead no longer poisoned.
Creatures of your choice within 5 feet of this plant can pick it up and consume it as a bonus action, gaining the plants benefits. These plants last for a number of hours equal to your proficiency bonus before wilting away.
You can manifest these plants a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses after a long rest. Once per long rest, you can spend a use of your Wild Shape feature to regain all expended uses of this feature.
Plump Offering
At 6th level, you can empower a creature with lifeforce, leaving them ripe for the killing. As a bonus action, choose a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. For the next minute, their size category increases by one and they gain an amount of temporary hit points equal to your level in this class. If they lack the room to grow, they remain as their current size. Undead and constructs are immune to this feature.
If the target of this feature is killed before the feature ends, the creature that killed them has their hit points and hit point maximum increase by an amount equal to double your level in this class. This increase lasts until the creature finishes a long rests.
Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, or expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher to regain a use of this feature.
Potent Harvests
At 10th level, your harvests are much more enriched thanks to your magic and their corpses. A creature rolls three of the deceased creature's hit die when consuming a Fruit of Plenty, creatures who eat your Stout Vegetables gain a +1 bonus to their AC until the end of their next turn, and creatures who eat your Remedial Herbs can end one condition of their choice they are suffering from.
Additionally, when you kill a creature, you can manifest two Bountiful Harvest plants from their corpse, rather than one.
Reap and Sow
Upon reaching 14th level, your connection to life allows you to fully transfer a dying creature's essence into the environment around it. You can cast the Plant Growth, Giant Insect, or Grasping Vine spell once without expending a spell slot.
Additionally, you can cast these spells as a reaction when a creature within 30 feet of you dies. Doing so provides additional benefits based on the chosen spell.
- Plant Growth. You can cast either uses of the spell as a reaction, rather than their standard time.
- Giant Insect. Damage can't break your concentration on this spell, and each creature gains temporary hit points equal to your level in this class.
- Grasping Vine. This spell no longer requires concentration, and you can move the vine up to 30 feet in any direction horizontally before you direct it to lash out.
Once you have cast any of these spells through this feature, you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
