Your energy comes from the sun, water, and nutrients. Every day you must spend at least 2 hours in some form of daylight, consume 2 cups of water, and plant yourself in soil for at least 1 hour. These rules are not hard and fast, but finding yourself somewhere without natural light, water, or soil may cause exhaustion upon GM's decision. 

For a Long Rest you must plant yourself in the soil for 6 hours.

For a Short Rest you must either drink 2 cups of water and plant yourself in the soil for 15 minutes, or drink no water and plant yourself in the soil for 2 hours. 

Thanks to a durable woody body your constitution is increased by 2.

Awakened shrubs are vulnerable to fire damage, and resistant to piercing damage.

Due to the magic that created you, you do have some form of eyes that follow the same rules of humans. However, you have the ability to sense nearby living beings by putting your roots in the soil and giving up all other senses. This also requires concentration. 

As a shrub you have always followed changes of the season, but now enchanted with magic you have the ability to control these changes. You may choose one of four appearances that each come with a racial trait or ability.
