Pan
God of the wilds
Although an Olympian in name, in reality the fickle Pan prefers to spend most of his time wandering the vast forests and grasslands of the mortal realm, frolicking with nymphs, satyrs and other fey creatures. He is a carefree guardian of the wilds, though not one to be underestimated.

Pan represents everything that is wild and unpredictable about nature, and his worshipers follow his example. They are guided by their love for the natural world and an unrestricted sense of freedom, often bordering on chaos.

You can cast conjure animals with this trait, calling on Pan's allies in the wild to come to your aid. Once you cast the spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned.
Like Pan himself, you have developed a keen instinct for understanding the natural world. You can cast commune with nature with this trait. Once you cast the spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
