Druid subclass
Shepherd
Spirit totems and enhanced summoned creatures.
Shepherd starts by changing the normal Druid play pattern through Speech of the Woods; Spirit Totem, giving the subclass its first clear mechanical identity.
Later features such as Mighty Summoner, Guardian Spirit, Faithful Summons expand that identity at higher levels, so the subclass has a clearer role in combat, exploration, utility, or support.
