Chillthorn Dryad

Magic Resistance. The dryad has Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Speak with Beasts and Plants. The dryad can communicate with Beasts and Plants as if they shared a language.

Fey Presence (1/Rest). As an action, the Chillthorn Dryad can force each creature of her choice within 30 ft. to make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or become charmed or frightened (her choice) for 1 minute. Affected creatures can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns.

Frostvine Lash. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target.
Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing plus 7 (2d6) cold damage. Target must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 16).

Mirror of Seasons (Recharge 5–6). The Dryad creates two illusory duplicates of herself, which last until destroyed. Each duplicate has AC 17 and 1 hit point, and they mimic her movements. When a creature targets the Dryad with an attack, roll a d20: on a 1–10, the attack instead targets a duplicate. Fire or radiant damage destroys duplicates instantly.
