The Sylvan

An ancient treant, tree spirit, or other powerful woodland being forms a pact with you, granting you the power of trees and forests.

Expanded Spell List

The Sylvan lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Sylvan Expanded Spells

Spell Level	Spells
1st	Entangle, Longstrider
2nd	Spike Growth, Barkskin
3rd	Erupting Earth, Plant Growth
4th	Stone Shape, Conjure Woodland Beings
5th	Awaken, Tree Stride

Bonus Cantrips and Language

At 1st level, you learn the druidcraft and shillelagh cantrips. They count as warlock cantrips for you, but they don’t count against your number of cantrips known. You can also understand and speak Sylvan, but cannot read or write it.

Protection of the Leaves

At 1st level, you gain the ability to channel sylvan energy to protect others. You have a pool of d8s that you spend to fuel this protection. The number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your warlock level.

As a bonus action, you can protect one creature you can see within 60 feet of you, spending dice from the pool. The maximum number of dice you can spend at once equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of one die). Roll the dice you spend, add them together, and grant a number of temporary hit points equal to the total. These temporary hit points last for one minute.

Your pool regains all expended dice when you finish a long rest.

Treant Body

Starting at 6th level, your link to the Sylvan grows, transforming your skin into a bark-like form. You have resistance to bludgeoning and piercing damage, and you can cast Barkskin on yourself at will, without concentration or material components.

Foiled by Foliage

Starting at 10th level, you can conjure a shroud of foliage to protect you or an ally from an attack. As a reaction, when you or an ally become the target of an attack, you can summon a magical foliage to provide your target half cover from the attack; if the target is still hit by the attack, they take half damage rounded down. The foliage provides half cover until the start of the target's next turn. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain these uses on a long rest.
