Nature's Blessing
After choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the druidcraft cantrip along with one other cantrip from the Druid spell list. You gain an additional druid cantrip at 13th level.
Gale Step
Beginning at 7th level, when a creature makes an attack roll against you, you may use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. You may use this ability after the roll, but before the outcome is determined. If the attack misses, you may move 30ft. as part of the same reaction without invoking attacks of opportunity. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier and regain all expended uses when you complete a long rest.
Healing Hands
Beginning at 11th level, whenever you use your action cast a spell that heals a target, you may cast it as a bonus action instead. Additionally, you receive resistance to Poison damage and immunity to the poisoned condition.
Blessings of the Fey
Beginning at 15th level, as an action you may entwine yourself with the nature around you, receiving the following benefits for one minute. You must finish a long rest before you may use this ability again:
While active, you are considered a Fey creature.
Additionally, you are considered to be under the effects of the sanctuary spell for the duration.
All creatures that you designate within 30ft. of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC or be charmed by you for the duration of this ability.
