Homebrew Dryad Species Details
Alignment
Dryads are most often neutral, with their main focus on tending to nature around them. Dryads working in union with other forest creatures in some form of alliance may tend toward lawfulness. Those deeply isolated in wild, untamed lands may be chaotic.

Dryads are between 4 and a half and 6 feet tall. Your size is medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
Accustomed to life under the shadow of verdant boughs, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You canβt discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Speak With Beasts and Plants
You can communicate with beasts and plants as if you shared a language.
