Who is the most one with nature?

Given at high levels, epic boons are a type of feat that can greatly change the abilities of your character in and out of combat. While they're difficult for any character, the druid class has some hard choices in epic boons for its reliance on both spells 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and martial abilities.

This list contains not only epic boons from the 20ꦆ24 edition of 5e, but also previous editions as well.🍌 Make sure to discuss with your DM which are available to your character.

10 ဣ Boon Of Combat Prowess

Better 🌄combat abilities shouldn't be scoffed at for any class. Druids can be overlooked for other martial classes, but t𒁃heir combat abilities are on par with any class.

With the Boon of Combat Prowess, you won't have to worry at all about your abilities as a martial fighter. Once per turn, when you miss with an attack roll, you can choose to hit instead. A guaranteed hit can be an amazing thing in battle, especialไly if timed correctly, especially one attack per turn.

Epic boons alꦬso allow your character an ASI like most feats.

9 Boon Of Spell ⛦Recall

As a full-fledged caster, druids need as many spells as they can get. 𝕴Even with other class features like Wild Sha🦄pe, spells can be a great aid in both utility and combat.

The Boon🤡 of Spell Recall helps you save some of those low-level spells. Anytime꧙ you cast a spell from level one to four, you roll a d4 and if the spell slot and the roll match, you don't burn a slot. It may not seem like much, but having your low-level utility or combat spells coming with a 25 percent chance of being free can really lengthen your spellcasting abilities.

8 Boon Of Speed 🌌

Hitting hard isn't the only thing you should focus on in🍸 combat. The ability to easily move around the map can be a great ideaꩵ for any character or level.

The Boon of Speed takes the concept of movement speed to the maximum, instantly giving your character another 30 feet of movement speed for your character. It also lets you use Dash as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a Bonus Action much like rogues can. This means you can easily move around the battlefield, which, when combined with the druid's abilities to move in n🥃atural terrains can be a devastating choice.

This also applies to your Wild Sha📖pe movement too.

7 🔯 Boon Of Peerless Aim

Some druids may choose to take a not𒀰e from a ranger's book and gain proficiency in various ranged martial weapons. These can be great when combined with some of t🐎he druid's abilities that allow for faster movement and climbing speeds.

The Boo💛n of Peerless Aim gives you the ability to add a +20 bonus to a ranged attack roll once per Short Rest. This is almost guaranteed to be an instant hit against any enemy, even at the highest levels. This can be devastating when timed right, allowing for a guaranteed killing blow against a difficult enemy.

Ask your DM a💟bout whether this would work for ranged spell attacks as w𒀰ell.

6 📖Boo🤪n Of Skill

Just A Natural

Not all the benefits to your character have to do with combat. Being proficient in the various skills of D&D can be a great way to learn more about the world around your character and ꧑successfully interact ܫwith it.

The Boon of Skill instantly gives you Proficiency in all skills and an extra Expertise in another. Druids are already a pretty well-rounded class, able to be nearly anything you want them to be given you make the right choices in creating them. This boon✨ just adds to the well-rounded nature.

This can be gꦉreat for filling in any holes in your roster, or becomin൩g the backup to aid other proficient characters in their own rolls.

5 �🐎� Boon Of Recovery

The Boon of Recovery gives your character a second-chance of sorts. With this boon, when your health goes down to zero, it instead goes to one, and then back to half you HP maximum. This avoids your character going unconscious and allows you to avoid those terribly 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Death Saving Throws. Plus, you get a pool of ten d10s you can use to heal that you can recover after a Lon🔜g Rest. This is practically free healing that you don't need any action economy to use.

4 Boon Of Energy ๊Resistance

Natural Defenses

There are plenty of ways for enemies and the world around you to do damage to your character. These come in the form of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:these damage types: force, fire, cold, thu🍰nder, poison, psychic, necrotic, lightning, and acid.

With the Boon of Energy Resistance, you can pick two of 🌊these damage types and gain resistance to them. Every Long Rest you can change your choices, allowing you to prepare for the next battle. As well, when💛 you take damage from one of the two types you've chosen, you can redirect some of it with your Reaction to an enemy within 60 feet from you to do 2d12 damage on a failed Constitution save.

3 Boon 🐟Of Fortitude

Along your travels as a druid, you are sure to🍨 get into some dangerous situations. Whether in combat, or just 🦄exploring, it can be a great help to have some extra health to throw around.

The Boon of Fortitude is rather no-frills, giving your character an extra 40 HP to their health point maximum at the get-go. In addition, once per turn when you are healed, you gain additional HP equal to your Constitution modifier. This can be a great c𝕴hoice if you like being up-fro🍬nt in your exploration and combat as a druid.

2 🥃🧸 Boon Of Dimensional Travel

The bad thing about doing well in combat in D&D is that it is sure to get you some 🐽unwanted attention. Your enemies may seek you out if you b﷽egin to change the tide of the battle going around you.

The Boon of Dimensional Travel m𒆙akes it hard for your enemies to keep you pinned down. After any attack or magic action, you can instantly teleport up to 30 feet into an unoccupied space. This means attacking and then instantly getting a better or safer vantage point will be much easier, and it doesn't use any of your action economy to teleport either.

1 🥃 Boon Of Irresistible Offense 🦩

Tooth & Claw

As your character gets tougher, your enemies will often do just the same, often annoyingly so. Extra attacks and deadlier spells ♒are the usual ways this happens, but damage resistances are also common.

The Boon of Irresistible Offense allows your character to overlook those damage resistances. Any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage you do will ign🔯ore resistance to them, and in addition, when you roll a natural 20 on an attack roll, you get to add the ability score you increased with this boon to the damage as well. This can be great when considering the natural weapons you'll be using while in Wild Shape.
