The Reckoning of Ants

At first level, you are granted a deepened connection to the ants around you. You have an amount of charges per long rest equal to your level, minimum of 2. As an action on your turn, you can expend one of these charges to create a Swarm of Ants on any space within 15 ft. of you. Alternatively, you can use a bonus action to consume one of these charges to grant one of the following imbuements to a creature of your choice within 5 ft., or within 30 ft. if that creature is one of your swarms.  

Swarm Improvement

Upon reaching 6th level, your Swarm of Ants gain additional traits. They gain a flying speed equal to their walking speed, and a swimming speed of 5 feet. Additionally, their hit point scaling increases to PBd8 + your level, and their strength score increases to fifteen.

Ant Hill
