Homebrew Half Dryad Species Details
Half dryads are fairly common, especially within the Selesnya Conclave. They are often a source of jealousy due to their powers and the freedom they have from not being tied down to one place like a full dryad. These human hybrids are typically beautiful like their fey parent with stunning green or hazel eyes. Due to them being half-human however it they also can be a bit more masculine in appearance than their dryad parent, esp if they have a human father. Their hair colors vary a lot more than humans sometimes having a green hue, vibrant red, or sometimes even a deep purple, depending on the type of tree the dryad parent belonged to.
All half dryads have at least one plant trait that differentiates themselves from humans visually. You may use the table below to randomly roll for a plant trait, pick one as you like, or just use it as inspiration for your own.
