Druids are known amongst the masses for their secret groups, sacred locales, and sacramental rites. None fit this description more so than the druids that gather together in the spirit of cult sorority, where the whole is exponentially more powerful than the mere sum of its parts - which parts often consist of hags and other unseelie fey. These mystical magicians, while not known for infant-snatching like their namesake, do give more attention to the civilized world than the rest of their kind. Their skill with the cauldron, and their ability to take the form of humanoids in addition to beasts, allow them to closely observe and even infiltrate communities of all kinds. While the intentions of these druids are frequently debated amongst those who are familiar with them, their power is not.
You follow an old tradition of sea-dwelling druids that protect the waters from creatures, and creatures from the waters. Your culture has developed unique fighting styles not found in other druidic sects, which make you excellent combatants in and around the seas.

As an action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape to magically polymorph into a Small or Medium humanoid. Your statistics are the same in this form, and your equipment magically resizes to fit your new form. You can remain in this form for a number of hours equal to half your druid level rounded down (minimum of 1 hour) and can end it early as an action. You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to 4 times your druid level, and you revert to your normal form early if you lose all of these temporary hit points. All other standard Wild Shape rules still apply while you are transformed in this way.
Water is not kind to leather armor. Because of this, your society has developed defensive measures that eschew armor of any type. With a heightened awareness of your immediate surroundings, when you are not wearing armor or shields, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.


While you are transformed using your Wild Shape feature, whether into a beast or humanoid form, you gain a special action. While in your Wild Shape, you can use your action to briefly adopt a ghastly appearance, forcing all creatures within 30 feet that can see you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened of you for 1 minute. It can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
