DruidicYou know Druidic, the secret language of druids. You can speak the language and use it to leave hidden messages. You and others who know this language automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message's presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can't decipher it without magic. | Ritual CastingYou can cast a druid spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. | Wild ShapeYour druid level determines the beasts you can transform into, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. At 2nd level, for example, you can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower that doesn't have a flying or swimming speed. Beast Shapes Level: Max CR Limitations Example 2nd: 1/4 No flying or swimming speed Wolf 4th: 1/2 No flying speed Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. At 2nd level, for example, you can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower that doesn't have a flying or swimming speed. Beast Shapes Level: Max CR Limitations Example 2nd: 1/4 No flying or swimming speed Wolf 4th: 1/2 No flying speed Crocodile 8th: 1 Giant eagle You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. While you are transformed, the following rules apply: • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them. • When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious. • You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you've already cast. • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense. • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form. 8th: 1 — Giant eagle You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down).

As an action, you can expend a use of Wild Shape to create an aura, which fills the area within 10 feet of you. While this aura is active, you gain the following benefits: • Your melee weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 force damage to any target they hit. • Your AC increases by 2. • When you cast spells with a range of touch, your reach extends to anywhere within your shroud. Other aspects of the spells are unchanged. • When you or an ally with in your shroud cast spells in the waste, you don't risk unstable results from your spells.

Her clothing is then covered up with a hooded cloak, while a mask covers her most of her face in typical dessert fashion. There are a few charms and trinkets hanging from her belt and a couple of beaded necklaces hang from her neck. Her long brown hair is braided with bead decorations woven into them, each bead having some kind of runic symbols carved in them. Her oddly bright colored yellow eyes are a stark contrast against her brown skin. When she looks at you it's almost like she is looking straight into your soul. Beneath her loose clothing, Essa wears studded leather armor, also light in color. The shield she carries is unpainted but has more of runic type symbols carved into it like the hair beads she wears. Her staff is plain, but a ruby red stone is attached to one end of it. There is a short sword strapped to the back of her waist and a rapier hangs from her hip. These too are plain and unremarkable. BACKGROUND SEER Source: Midgard Heroes Handbook (pg 123) Personality Traits: 1. I try to ensure that everyone around me pays attention to what I see. 2. When a vision is upon me, I have little control over what I say. Ideals: Truth. I am a servant of the truth, and I will share it for good or ill.

Personality Personality: Like the humans and the Wasteland Orcs that she grew up around, Essa is very curious about everything around her, while at the same time she can be aggressive and not afraid to fight if she has to. She enjoys the company of others and lives life to the fullest, enjoying every moment that the world has to offer whenever she can. She also has a sense of humor and is cheerful and happy most times. Yet, she can also use caution along with a calm wait and see attitude when such an occasion arises. She is also a confident person and takes great pride in herself and where she came from and who she is.

Essa was born to human parents and raised in a large settlement made up of mostly Wasteland Orcs known as the Dustblades. The settlement is strategically located in the Western Wastes between Saroyne and Rultmoork. Anyone who wishes to take a short cut thru the Wasteland can hire Dustblade Orcs as guides or for protection. Of course, sometimes 'donations' are also acceptable payments too. Even though life is still harsh in Wastelands, the extra income has made life a little easier for settlement. Many years ago, Essa's grandparents and her newly married parents were driven out of Saroyne by some members of the The Oaken Ring. Those Druids, discovering her family's ability to see the future without having to read the entrails of animals, and thought it was sacrilegious towards their practices and therefore they should be sacrificed to the Wastes. Dustblade Orcs welcomed Essa's family to the settlement and offered them protection and shelter. In exchange for this protection, her family used their gifts of Sight to see to help and aid the settlement anyway they could. It was a good set up and this arrangement has benefited everyone. After all any advantage that would help increase the survival of the settlement was a welcomed addition. To show their appreciation, Essa's family adopted the tribal name, Dustblade, as their last names. Essa's Grandparents and parents. Grandfather Torin and Grandmother Essa. Essa's Grandparents where once Saroyne merchants, trading with various Verrayne locations. They also traded with the Dustblade settlement, where they received extra items in exchange for some fortunetelling. Grandfather was born with the gift of sight, which is passed down his family's line. Essa's mother, Asha inherited the gift and so did Essa. When they fled Saroyne, Grandfather Torin led his family to the Duskblade settlement where he sought refuge. He was in good standing with the Duskblade tribe, so they accepted them and welcomed them into their encampment. Shortly after words, Grandmother Essa died for reasons unknown. Asha and Rune Dustblade. Essa's parents married very young. Asha was helping her parents (Torin and Essa) with their merchant business. Rune was farmer who brought goods to the market place to sell. That is where they meet and eventually got married. They weren't married very long when the Oaken Ring Druids came looking for them. When they arrived at the settlement it was discovered that Asha was pregent. When Essa was born, it was decided that Essa's family would learn the ways of the Duskblade Orcs. Because her family possessed the Sight, the local Shaman, Avye the Tounge Spliter was given the task, believing she was well suited for it. When they won't being taught by Avye, Asha took care of baby Essa while Rune helped the settlement with their farming and livestock raising. When Essa became a young adult, her parents had another child, her younger brother, Darius. Avye the Tongue Splitter. Avye the Tongue Splitter is an elder, by Orc terms, and the settlement's Shaman. She's a healer for the settlements people and their animals and performs minor Divinations. Avye helped Essa's family in teaching them how to survive the harsh conditions of the Wastes and to navigate the ways of the Wasteland Orcs. She also initiated Essa's family into the Circle of Dust. Avye strongly believes that by nurturing their abilities, it will enhance their gifts of sight. With such strong Shamans in the Dustblade tribe, others will be discouraged from attacking them. Essa considers Avye to be her Grandmother. The Vision. Essa was sitting across the settlements console which consisted of 2 Orc elders, her mentor Avye the Tongue Splitter, her parents Asha and Rune, and Grandfather Torin. Torin was the first to speak. There was a serious look on his face. Glancing around, Essa noticed her parents had a look of concern and Avey had a slight smile while gently nodding her head. "I had a vison last night. I was a spire of stone. The sun rose out of the sea and then turned black over ancient ruins. Then the ground turned green and many faceless people." He hesitates. "I don't know why, but I feel this is very important and should not be ignored. After much discussion among the console, it was decided that if you agree to it, you should go and investigate this. I can't go because of my age, and your parents are raising your brother. So, it falls to you." Then Avey spoke up. "Your gift of Sight and your Shaman training is more than adequate to help you in this quest. We believe that the location is Rultmook based on the landmarks in the vision." Avey suddenly smiled. "Of course, if you go, it wouldn't hurt to pick up a few items here and there, would it?" She winked at Essa. "Take your time an let us know your decision." Exploring ruins. Meeting new people. Going on a vision quest. What was there to think about. Essa didn't hesitate to accept the task at hand. "I accept!" With an even bigger smile, Avey handed Essa a skin pouch. She looked in it. It was Avey's divination bones and stones. Tears welded up in her eyes. Avey gently touched Essa's head. "These served me well. Now they are yours. They will also serve you well too. With all of our blessings, go forth Granddaughter and fulfill your destiny and may the spirits guide you in your journeys." The next day Essa left her home and headed towards Rultmook and the unknown world beyond the Wastes.
