Dryads are typically neutral, deeply connected to the natural world, and focused on maintaining the balance of nature.
They are often protective of their forests and may act with force if they or their home are threatened.
Size
Dryads are humanoid in shape but with a graceful, ethereal quality. They stand between 5 and 6 feet tall. Your size is
Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
You have darkvision with a range of 60 feet. You can see in darkness as if it were dim light, and you can’t discern color
in darkness, only shades of gray.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Treebound
You are intimately connected to a tree of your choice. This tree serves as your home and lifeline, and you can
communicate with it. Your bond to your tree allows you to speak to plants and creatures within a 300-foot radius,
understanding their basic desires and feelings. As an action, you can merge with your tree to gain a trance-like state,
where you can observe your surroundings from the tree as though using clairvoyance.
Nature’s Blessing
You have proficiency in the Nature skill. Additionally, you can cast the Entangle spell at will without expending a spell
slot. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Innate Charm
You can use your inherent beauty and connection to nature to charm others. As an action, you can force a creature
within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or
be charmed by you for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the
effect early on a success. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before using it again.
Sylvan Grace
Starting at 3rd level, your natural connection to the forest grants you enhanced movement. When you take the Dash
action, you leave behind a trail of enchanted leaves or flowers that make it difficult for enemies to track you. Creatures
that attempt to track you have disadvantage on their Wisdom (Perception) checks to do so for the next 1 hour.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is the language of fey creatures, and it is often spoken
with musical tones or melodic inflections.
