Mythical Wild Shape
Mythical Wild shape
Mythical Wild Shape is intended to be an alternative use of Wild Shape for the druid, with your own built-in bear-like design. You can choose Beastial Traits from an animal that you have seen or heard before to mix and match the ones that are most suitable for the situation you are in: combat, exploration, or utility.
Scaling
Wild Shape always has a problem switching from a powerful early-game feature to a utility-only late game feature. Mythical Beast's stat block has its scaling based on your druid level; the number of Beastial Traits and the power of Beastial Traits are also scaled by your druid level. Which makes your Mythical Beast form stays relevent in any tier of adventure.
Half-Beast Half-You
Unlike Wild Shape, Mythical Wild Shape doesn't limit you to the anatomy of one beast or even just a beast. You can have half a beast body, and the other half remains your original form (humanoid or not).
With this, you can still speak in your Mythical Beast form. And mechanically speaking, you could say that any feature you have with your racial trait or class feature can still be used in your new form (no longer depends on a vague description like "if your beast form has the ability to do it').
5e and OneD&D Compatable
Yes, this optional class feature for druid is my response to the recent OneD&D's Wild Shape (sorry, I meant Channel Nature). And yes, this optional feature can be used in 5e's druid and also replace OneD&D's Channel Nature.
I must stress that it can 'replace' OneD&D's Channel Nature because of how its number of uses scales up with druid level which 5e's druid doesn't have this scaling with Wild Shape.
Hit points and damage calculation is intended that one Mythical Wild Shape can only be used once per combat.
Revised Circle of the Moon
Circle of the Moon druid was infamously known for being powerful at tier 1 (level 1-5) and start to go down hill from there. There will be a revised version of Circle of the Moon that would fit in with Mythical Wild Shape and also revisit the original mechanic of Circle of the Moon druid.
It is intended that a powerful form like, mythical beast or CR 1 beast (at least at 1st tier of play), can only be used once per combat.
Mythical Wild Shape
As an action, you can spend 2 uses of your Wild Shape to mold and morph into a mythical beast. The mythical beast form is a combination of beastial features that you have seen or heard before. The outer appearance might be otherworldly or even feyish to common's eyes. You new form follows Wild Shape rules and limitation except the following traits:
- You can still speak while you're in this form.
- You can choose the size of your mythical beast form: Tiny, Small, Medium, or Large.
- If a beastial trait has limited uses, you stay with its limitation and reset on your short or long rest.
Level
This feature is granted at 2nd druid level.
You can magically give your form a beastial feature. However, this doesn't stop you from leaving some part of it as your humanoid form, for example, an upper humanoid body with lower horse's legs. You have beastial points equal to your druid level + your proficiency bonus. When you transform you choose a number of beastial features equal to 1 + your proficiency bonus. If the beastial trait has a DC, it uses your druid spell save DC.
Unless stated otherwise, a beastial trait costs 1 beastial point. You can only have one Biome and one Ancestry trait each per one of your Mythical Beasts.

Clearification
Is Mythical Wild Shape a Wild Shape?
No
Mythical Wild Shape is an alternative use of druid's Wild Shape feature, not Wild Shape itself. Hence, any mechanical benefit from druid's class or subclasses would not affect Mythical Wild Shape.
Can you cast a spell while you are in Mythical Beast form?
No... And Yes
Mythical Wild Shape follows the rules of Wild Shape. Hence you cannot cast a spell while you change your form. In addition, an 18th level druid's feature, Beast Spells, also does not grant you the ability to cast spell in your Mythical form. You can still talk in this form. Just not the spellcasting part.
However, at 20th level, a druid will have access to beastial trait: Mythical Actions. Which will allow a druid in their Mythical Beast form to cast a spell of 5th level or lower.
Mythical Wild Shape is a physical and primal power of druids. It was not meant to have access to a trickery, like spells. Not without some limitation anyway.
How will Archdruid feature affect you and your Mythical Wild Shape?
Yes And Amazingly So...
Mythical Beast follows the same rule as Wild Shape, which means if you have any remaining use of Wild Shape while you are in a beast form. You can Wild Shape again and reset the duration.
You spend an action and 2 uses of your Wild Shape to transform into your Mythical Beast. When you reach 20th level and gain Archdruid feature, you have unlimited uses of Wild Shape. Hence you can stay in your Mythical Beast form forever.
Can you use magic items in your mythical beast form?
Yes
Your mythical beast anatomy doesn't have to follow IRL animals, you could create a form that has the anatomy to use an item if you so choose.
Would this feature make Circle of the Moon druid even more powerful?
Not Really, Maybe Even the Opposite
Moon Druid is powerful because of their access to more powerful beast early. However, that is Wild Shape feature and as I mentioned earlier, Mythical Wild Shape is not a Wild Shape itself.
Any features the Moon druid has that enhanced Wild Shape, would mechanically not affect Mythical Wild Shape at all.
How would you regain a use of your feature in Mythical Beast form?
Varies
A beastial trait like Mythical Resistance, regains after a long rest. Which means even if you take a short rest and use your Mythical Wild Shape again, you won't have all of your Mythical Resistance back. Only after the druid themselves, takes a long rest, they will regain all of their uses.
The only thing that would refresh upon using Mythical Wild Shape again is stated in their original stat block. A feature, like Relentless or Mythical Resistance, is an additional feature which you design to give the Mythical Beast later on.
This design intend to control the power of a 20th level druid who has unlimited uses of Wild Shape. Don't get me wrong, it is still powerful nonetheless.
Would this make a druid too powerful?
Debatable Without Playtest
Moon druid was infamously known as a powerful subclass up until these days, but even they fall short at higher level due to how beast's stat block lack the variety and flexibility.
Mythical Wild Shape was intended to make druid as a class to have a reliable feature both in combat, exploration, and untility. Wild Shape is a feature, that unless you are a Moon druid, it is hard to bring into combat.
But would it put druid above the sky level? I think not. Your Mythical Beast form has an average health pool that could be burned through easily with normal encounter. And because it consumes 2 uses of your Wild Shape, there won't be a shenanigan where you can wild shape again and refresh every damage you had taken (at least in one encounter). The same problem a Moon druid brings to some table now and then.
Druid's Circle of the Moon (Revise)
Druids of the Circle of the Moon are fierce guardians of the wilds. Their order gathers under the full moon to share news and trade warnings. They haunt the deepest parts of the wilderness, where they might go for weeks on end before crossing paths with another humanoid creature, let alone another druid.
Changeable as the moon, a druid of this circle might prowl as a great cat one night, soar over the treetops as an eagle the next day, and crash through the undergrowth in bear form to drive off a trespassing monster. The wild is in the druid’s blood.
Combat Wild Shape
2nd-level Circle of the Moon feature
You can spend 2 uses of your Wild Shape to use Wild Shape or Mythical Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action. You can use your Wild Shape to transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as 1. You must abide by the other limitations there.
At 6th level, you can transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down.
Circle Forms
2nd-level Circle of the Moon feature
The rites of your circle grant your form more dangerous feature. When you use Wild Shape or Mythical Wild Shape, your new form gains the following traits:
- You can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to regain 1d8 hit points per level of the spell slot expended.
- As a reaction when you were hit by an attack, you can deflect the damage you hit. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by d6s. The number of d6s is equal to your proficiency bonus.
Elemental Strike
6th-level Circle of the Moon feature
Your attacks in beast and mythical beast form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
While you are in your beast or mythical beast form. You can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to deal additional 1d6 damage per level of the spell slot expended to the next melee attack you hit, to a maximum of 5d6. The damage type is acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage.
Elemental Wild Shape
10th-level Circle of the Moon feature
You can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to transform into an air elemental, an earth elemental, a fire elemental, or a water elemental.
If you use Mythical Wild Shape, your mythical beast has been enhanced with primordial power from elemental planes. Your mythical beast form gains the following traits:
- You gain immunity to poison damage.
- You gain immunity to exhaustion, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, unconscious conditions.
Thousand Forms
14th-level Circle of the Moon feature
You have learned to use magic to alter your physical form in more subtle ways. You can cast the alter self spell at will. However It doesn't require components and concentration. You can cast it even in your Wild Shape or Mythical Wild Shape.
Mercy's Guide Into Mythical Beasts
Fair Warning
Brewing an entire stat block takes and proficiency. A new player should always discuss with your DM and prepare a stat block before the session. Creating a new Mythical Beast in session might take some time and would not be well-like from other players to wait for nothing.
Remember to be kind and considerate, D&D is a collaborative storytelling roleplaying game. Time is precious. And so is your player and DM in the same table.

Meet Eilidh Wildheart
Eilidh grew up in a small village in the forest, where her parents were skilled herbalists and healers. From a young age, Eilidh showed an affinity for nature, spending her days exploring the woods and communing with the animals that called it home. Her parents recognized her innate connection to the natural world and began to teach her the ways of druidic magic.
Eilidh has long, curly red hair that she usually wears in a braid. Her green eyes are bright and lively, and her skin is tanned from spending so much time outdoors. She wears simple, practical clothing made from natural fibers, and she always has a small pouch of herbs and roots hanging from her belt.
Eilidh is a kind and empathetic person, always willing to help those in need. She has a deep love and respect for nature, and will do anything to protect it from harm. She is also fiercely independent and will not hesitate to stand up for what she believes in.

Hidden in the swamp, the creature is a Dracohydra, the result of arcane experimentation dedicated to recreating the power of the Dragon Queen. Its heads snap and snarl, its eyes gleaming with a fierce intelligence.

It's Time To Run
An Adult Green Dragon has been unleashed by the cult of the Dragon Queen. Despite their best efforts, the dragon manages to wound several of Eilidh's companions. Eilidh knows that they cannot sustain the battle much longer and makes a bold decision. She calls upon the spirits of the forest to create a powerful blizzard, hoping that it will give them a chance to retreat.
The blizzard engulfs the battlefield, making it difficult for the dragon to see and making the terrain treacherous. The Wildwood Wanderers use this opportunity to flee, knowing that they cannot defeat the dragon on their own.

After their victory over the adult black dragon, The Wildwood Wanderers knew that they had to stop the cult of the Dragon Queen once and for all.

The Wildwood Wanderers gathered their allies and prepared for the final battle. They knew that it would be their toughest fight yet, but they were determined to see it through to the end.
As they approached the cult's stronghold, they could feel the power of the Dragon Queen growing stronger. The air was thick with magic, and the ground shook with the force of the ritual.

Against God And Monster
The Wildwood Wanderers made their way to the stronghold of the cult of the Dragon Queen. There, they found the cultists in the midst of a dark ritual, their chanting and incantations filling the air with a sense of dread.
As they approached, they saw that the ritual had succeeded. The Dragon Queen herself had been summoned to the material plane, and she stood before them, towering over them with her massive wingspan and deadly claws.
The Wildwood Wanderers knew that this was their final battle. They drew their weapons and prepared to face off against the most powerful creature they had ever encountered.
The Dragon Queen was a formidable opponent, unleashing a barrage of elemental attacks that threatened to tear the very earth asunder. But The Wildwood Wanderers were determined, using their skills and magic to dodge her attacks and strike back with all their might.
The Earthmother
As the battle against the Dragon Queen raged on, Eilidh felt a deep connection to the earth beneath her feet. She closed her eyes and focused her mind, calling upon the power of the Earthmother to aid her in this desperate hour.
Suddenly, she felt a surge of energy flow through her body, and she felt as though she were one with the earth itself. She opened her eyes, and they glowed with a bright green light.
Eilidh raised her arms and let out a cry that shook the very ground. The earth trembled and split apart, and the Dragon Queen stumbled back in surprise.
Gaia is here.

The End of Eilidh Wildheart
After the battle with the Dragon Queen, Eilidh decided to retire from the life of an adventurer. The Wildwood Wanderers decided to disband and each of them go their own seperate ways. She had seen and experienced so much, and she felt that it was time for her to move on to a new chapter in her life.
Eilidh settled down in a small village nestled in the heart of the Wildwood, where she lived a quiet life as a healer and herbalist. She spent her days tending to the sick and injured, and her nights studying the plants and wildlife of the forest.
As she grew older, Eilidh became known as a wise woman, and people came to her from all over the land seeking her advice and guidance. She was respected and beloved by all who knew her, and her legacy lived on long after she was gone.
In the end, Eilidh knew that she had lived a full and fulfilling life. She had saved the world from destruction, and had found happiness and contentment in her later years. She knew that her spirit would always be a part of the Wildwood, and that she would always be remembered as one of its greatest heroes.

They have learned to work together to maintain their homes and community, and have even developed technologies to harness Behemoth's movements for power and transportation.
Sacrifice and Service. Behemoth's story is one of sacrifice and service to its people. Long ago, Behemoth was not a giant walking citadel, but a powerful druid who had devoted their life to protecting the natural world and their people. They had seen the struggles of a dying civilization, the challenges they faced in finding resources and survive the monster's attack. Moved by their plight, The Archdruid made the ultimate sacrifice and offered their own body as a sanctuary for the creatures they had sworn to protect.
Long Forgotten Legends. The years passed, Behemoth walked the land, its great size and strength inspiring awe and reverence in all who saw it. The people that had once struggled to survive in the wilderness now thrived on Behemoth's back, building communities and cities that spanned miles. Behemoth became a symbol of hope and protection, a guardian and protector of all who lived on its back. Slowly, the Archdruid start to forget who they used to be.

Leviathan of Horror. Scylla of the Deep is a fearsome and unpredictable monster that haunts the ocean depths. This massive creature resembles a colossal squid, with long, powerful tentacles and a massive, beaked mouth. Scylla rests on the ocean floor, hidden from sight and waiting for the right moment to strike. When Scylla does emerge from the depths, she becomes a terror of the sea.

Legends tell of sailors who have glimpsed a strange intelligence in her eyes, as if there is more to this creature than meets the eye. But whether Scylla is a simple predator or something more remains a mystery, and those who seek to challenge her do so at their own peril.
Little Mermaid. Scylla was a curious and adventurous merfolk princess, always seeking out new experiences and challenges. She dreamed of exploring the world beyond the ocean, of seeing new places and meeting new creatures. Scylla allowed herself to fall deeply in love with the sailor. She showed him the wonders of the ocean. But the sailor's love for Scylla was not pure. He saw her as nothing more than a novelty, a creature to be captured and displayed for the amusement of others. And so, he betrayed her, using her love for him to lead her into a trap.

Tips & Tricks on Mythical Wild Shape
Feats You Should Take

Crusher (3), Piercer (2), and Slasher (2). All of these feats affect your damage type, which in your mythical beast you can choose to deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from your natural weapon. They are all half feat but only Crusher allows you to increase your Constitution score.
Dwarven Fortitude (1). Hit die you spent is from your mythical beast, it is another resource you rarely use. Unfortunately it's only reserved for dwarf.
Gift of the Chromatic Dragon (3). It gives you a use of your bonus action and reaction which your form normally doesn't have. It also grant you resistance to 5 damage types with only your reaction.
Gift of the Gem Dragon (3). A feat that gives a use of your reaction even in your mythical beast form. Plus, it's a half feat that could improve your Wisdom score.
Gift of the Metallic Dragon (3). A feat that gives a use of your reaction even in your mythical beast form. Plus, it's a half feat that could improve your Wisdom score. A free use of cure wounds can be used outside of combat.
Mobile (2). This is a Flyby trait for free, definitely useful if you are not the tank of the group.
Resilient (3). Another must have feat but with options, Resilient on Constitution is great for maintain concentration on a spell but Dexterity is the most common saving throw there is.
Savage Attacker (1). Your natural weapon in mythical beast is still a melee weapon. This feat slightly increases your damage per attack.
Telekinetic (2). Another feat that gives a use of your bonus action, you could pull or push your ally out of a creature's melee range. Plus, it's a half feat that could improve your Wisdom score.
War Caster (2). A must have feat that enhances your concentration on a powerful spell.
Don't Forget Your Weapon
At 5th level, your mythical beast gains an extra attack.
This does not limit to only its natural weapon. You can use a +2 Quarterstaff you found in a dungeon as well. And because Mythical Wild Shape does not force you into a beast that has no limb, you can use your item or weapon if you choose.
Choose Your Race/Species Wisely
Because of how Mythical Wild Shape is designed, you can retain any racial feature. Which means you can mix and match your beastial traits with racial traits of yours.
Races with flying speed. Flying is always going to be powerful. Having them is nice and it saves your slot for beastial traits.
Races with climbing speed. Climbing is the next best movement after flying, and it's more DM friendly.
Races with swimming speed. It's more situational but still good to have, saves your slot for beastial traits.
Astral Elf or Eladrin. Fey ancestry and a bonus action teleport are amazing with your mythical beast.
Firbolg. Turn invisible as a bonus action is powerful. Also, Firebolg's speech of Beast and Leaf fits with druid play style.
Goblin. You can disengage or hide as a bonus action. Fury of the Small is also work well with your mythical beast if you choose its size to be Tiny or Small.
Hadozee. Glide is still semi-fly speed.
Halfling. Being lucky will never hurt anyone, especially now that you could have darkvision for free in your mythical beast form.
Hobgoblin. Help as a bonus action is nice and you can use Fortune from the Many to save yourself.
Plasmoid. Free amorphous trait, could be useful.
Satyr or Yuan-ti Pureblood. Two races that have the most powerful racial trait: Magic Resistance.
Tabaxi. Feline Agility will always come in handy.
Tortle. 17 armor class that doesn't have to go away like a normal Wild Shape is definitely powerful.
Vedalken. Advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws are undeniably powerful.
Druid's Subclass
There are some subclass that works well with Mythical Wild Shape.
Circle of Dreams. You can still use its Balm of the Summer Court while in your mythical beast form.
Circle of Spores. Halo of Spores works well if you intend to be the frontliner and get into the fight. Unfortunately, Symbiotic Entity shares a use of Wild Shape so it might not be used as often.
Circle of the Shepherd. Fortunately, Spirit Totem doesn't rely on your Wild Shape. So you have it up as you transform into a mythical beast.
