Barkskin
Being as you are not only Fey but considered a plant as
well, you have the same natural defense that a tree
would have. you can also alter the color of your skin for
a short amount of time so long as it is a natural color
found in nature (1 minute at a time). You can alter the
toughness of your skin 2 times per long rest; giving an
additional +2 to your AC so long as you are wearing
leather armor or none at all.
Barking up the wrong tree
As a result of your punishment and time serving it, you’ve harnessed the power to turn mortals to a tree and bind their consciousness to your own. You may roll 3d4 per round for up to 5 rounds to summon the trees you’ve made to battle for you(roll 1d100 for each health). When that tree is dead it will crumble back into the earth and heal you by 1d20. To turn new persons into trees they must be either fearful of you or trying to impose fear. By using this ability you acknowledge that summoning these trees will be your only action in that round.
Unbending branch
You have a high resistance to Cold, Fire and lightning
You have immunity to poison
Language
You can speak, read, and write Celestial, elvish, and Sylvan.
Fog of emotion
Your roots are covered in a fog of your literal emotion. If you’re angry, the fog grows thicker and makes those near you act impulsively, often attacking themselves or their allies (Con. 17). If you are happy, the fog becomes inviting to those near you and make foes see you as an ally on a failed save and even defend you from their allies. If you are sad, the fog covers up to 90 ft and on a failed save impose paralysis, on those in the space, as they become overwhelmed with sadness, both yours and their own.
Roots of hate and despair
Because of how you became a tree spirit, you have an overwhelming hatred for gods, demigods and all celestial entities. As such you do +9 damage with your roots to any divine or so called divine blood enemies. You can also use the surrounding tree roots to steal health from any creature unaware of your roots (1d20 hp per round until discovered or released).

Posted May 16, 2022Definitely OP at low levels, doesn't scale, but the concept is solid. Maybe turn some of these abilities into 'starting at fourth level, you can...' type stuff. Also, run it past someone else before posting. I would recommend the Filthy Pig's Inn, they helped me make my Eldritch Construct.
