Racial Traits Gnome Cunning. You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic. Low-Light Vision. You can see in dim light as well as you do in bright light. Natural Illusionist: You know the minor illusion cantrip. Intelligence is your magic ability for it. The saving throw DC for this cantrip equals 8 + your Intelligence modifier. If you are holding a magic focus—a rod, staff, or wand made of wood—when you cast the cantrip, you add your proficiency bonus to the spell’s saving throw DC. Speak with Small Beasts. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas with Small or smaller beasts. Class Features Druidic. You can speak the secret language of druids and use it to leave hidden signs. A hidden sign is a written message up to twenty words long. You and others who know this language automatically spot such messages. Proficiencies. Add your proficiency bonus to attack rolls you make using clubs, daggers, darts, javelins, maces, quarterstaffs, scimitars, sickles, slings, and spears (included in “Attacks”). You also add your proficiency bonus to ability checks made to use aherbalism kit and your skills (noted in “Skills”), as well as to your Wisdom saving throws (noted in “Ability Scores”). You also have proficiency with padded armor, leather armor, dragon leather, hide armor, and shields made of wood. Spellcasting Drawing on the divine essence of nature itself, you have a combination of cantrips, which you can cast at will, and other spells that you can cast only a certain number of times per day. Spells per Day. Your druid level determines the number of druid spells that you can cast of 1st level or higher. You must complete a long rest to regain any castings—also called spell slots—that you use. At 1st level, you have two 1st-level castings. Spell Preparation. Whenever you complete along rest, you prepare the list of druid spells that you can cast. Your list can contain a number of druid spells equal to 1 + your druid level, and the spells can be of any spell level that is available to you (currently 1st). This character already has a list of prepared spells, but you can alter the list each day, choosing from among the spells on the druid list that are available to you (see the “Spells” document). Preparing your spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least one minute per spell level for each druid spell you prepare. You don’t have to prepare all your spells at once. If you like, you can prepare some later in the day. Casting a Prepared Spell. When you cast oneof your prepared spells, you expend a casting of the spell’s level or higher. The spell itself is not expended. For example, if you have the 1st-level spell cure wounds prepared and can still cast a 1st-level spell and a 2nd-level spell, you
