Druid:

• Circle of Stars subclass - Cosmic Omen (6th level): When the druid finishes a long rest, they can roll a die and gain access to a special reaction that varies depending on whether the result is even or odd.

(If the initial die roll result is odd, the druid can use their reaction to subtract 1d6 instead.)
