Circle of Configuration

Druid Subclass for Dark Matter

Shape-Shift into an Adaptable Machine

Druids in the Circle of Configuration and shun all ties to nature, aligning themselves instead with Constructs and machines. Some do this because Construct forms offer superior strength and adaptability compared to those of Beasts. Others, however, believe that Constructs represent a higher form of life, for Constructs are ageless, designed with a clear intent, and are free of hunger, thirst, and disease.

Level 3: Machine Code

You know Machine Code, the native code-language of machines. Due to this language, you know the Technomancy cantrip.

Level 3: Circle of Configuration Spells

When you reach a Druid level specified in the Circle of Configuration Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared. New spells in Dark Matter are marked with an asterisk (*).
