Druid Subclass: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons

Cause and Lead Youkai Processions Under The Full Moon

Not every natural creature is kind and orderly. Demonic spirits are also a part of nature - and it’s in their nature to let loose once in a while. Driuds of Night Parade are a force that decides, how such eruption will look, either chanelling it into orderly procession, or just causing chaos with them.

In Gensokyo, this is a popular circle for young Tanuki due to their new leader, Mamizou Futatsuiwa, being such a big influence for them and for other youkai she decides to lead.

Level 3: Night Parade Spells

You have the spells listed for your Druid level and lower prepared at any moment. This doesn’t count towards your limit.

Table: Night Parade

Level 3: Unbound Form

Your wild form becomes more versatile, no longer bound by strict concepts of what it can look like. You can turn into objects, with following table showing your limits. You cannot turn into magic objects, but starting from Level 4 you can turn into objects with damaging elemental effects like Fire.

Level 6: Prepare a Parade

You can call youkai to your side. Once in a Long Rest, you can call the amount of Youkai that equals to your Charisma Ability Bonus. Usually, it’s youkai from community you are more friendly with (For example, you are a Tanuki, and lived with other Tanuki, they can answer your call), youkai that fit the current location (such as Tsukumogami in Human Village), or rarely, named characters.

If Game Master doesn’t plan to decide who responded to your call, you can roll 1d3 to decide:

Level 10: Turning Over a New Leaf

You can turn other creatures into animal forms, and object into object form. It has same limits as your own ability.

If it’s an unwilling creature, they need to roll a Charisma Saving Throw with the difficulty of your spellcasting ability (if you are multiclassing, you can use any availible).

If it’s an item, rules from Minor Illusion apply towards discovering it’s true nature, and it turns back on success, but it seems real on touch like on sight.

Level 14: True Parade

You can cause a true Night Parade of One Hundred Demons once a Long Rest. Spend 1 Wild Shape point, and 20-foot wide and 100-foot long rectangle in front of you will get overrun by Youkai summoned from a posessed scroll or another equivalent object. They last there for 30 Seconds or until you have the Incapacitated condition or die. Anyone standing or trying to go there will need to do a Dexterity Saving Throw with 18 difficulty, or will be knocked over, get 2d12 Blunt Damage and get Prone. Even if succeeded, it will be a hard to traverse terrain for you.

If a creature tries to fly over, it still needs a Dexterity Saving Throw, but does it with an Advantage and doesn’t get slowed down afterwards.s

After effect ends, all Youkai will disappear.
