Circle of the Feydark is a druidic subclass with a darker, more bloodthirsty bent than traditional druidic circles/subclasses. In it, you give up your ability to Wild Shape for the ability to summon plant blights that will act under your command. The stronger you are, the more/stronger blights you can summon. You also learn some spells that aren’t traditionally druidic such as toll the dead and raise dead, both of which are more necromantic.
This is a relatively simple subclass, but I really like it. It has sort of an eco-terrorist bent and is for people that don’t want to play a goodie-goodie druid. I do wish there was a little more to it than just Blight Summoning and Improved Blight Summoning, which doesn’t feel quite on par with being able to Wild Shape. I think the Improved Blight Summoning should be switched out and, perhaps there should be a way to not just summon standard blights but summon blight/animal hybrids. That could help make this subclass feel more balanced.
Regardless, I think this is a nice subclass and good to play around with, especially if you want a darker druid.
