## Bloom
*2nd-level Circle of the Grove feature*
___
As an action, you summon a Vicious Shrub in an unoccupied space within 60ft of you.
___
When the shrub is summoned, you decide its type from the following; Vineling, Spiker, or Ploomer. Each type has its own features as seen in the Vicious Shrub stat block. After 1-minute or when it drops to 0 hit points, the shrub disappears.
___
The Vicious Shrub is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, it shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The shrub will use its action to attack the nearest hostile creature, if none are nearby it will take the dodge action.
___
The number of Vicious Shrubs created as an action by this feature increases to 2 at 6th level, and 3 at 14th level. When you summon more than one shrub, you decided the location and type for each.
___
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining all expended uses by finishing a long rest.

## Germinate
*6th-level Circle of the Grove feature*
___
You learn the Conjure Animals spell, which doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.
___
Additionally, when you cast Conjure Animals you can choose to summon plant type creatures instead of beasts.

___

___
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

## Resprouting
*14th-level Circle of the Grove feature*
___
If you die by any means other than old age, your corpse transforms into an Enraged Vicious Shrub (you choose the type).
___
Enraged Vicious Shrubs functions like a regular Vicious Shrub, but its total Hit Points are equal to twice your druid level, can attack twice per turn, and acts as you would.
___
If the Enraged Visious Shrub survives for 1-minute, you return to life with 1 Hit Point. If it dies, the transformation ends. Once used, this feature cannot be used again until you finish a long rest.
