Homebrew Forest Spirit Species Details

"The Forest Spirits, guardians of the woodlands and all that dwell within, they draw their power from nature, and use their abilities to heal the world around them when that which bares life falls to waste and ruin." 

               - Passages of the Nameless Traveler. Vol. XIII

Heroes of the Forest
Born from the Leaves of Trees the Forest Spirits come in a variety of shapes and sizes to be detailed here in shortly. They are the keepers of the woods, and protectors of those that dwell within, often living in large social villages of upwards to 500 in a single high tree city environment. Their natural glow is generated from a chemical make up within their body that mixes to push light through their body and fur since dense forests can get very dark very easily. However more than this, the light they generate can be further refined and forged to create weaponry for the Forest Spirit to use. In this way through proper education and training a Forest Spirit can become a wide multitude of different classes.

Light Forge

As a Forest Spirit you can call upon your own light to create the following
[ Roll 1d4]
1. A Long Sword
2. A Warhammer
3. A Short Bow
4. A Short Spear

Each of these weapons will use the stat blocks of their material counterparts, and will only last the duration of a single turn, vanishing after use.
However Using these weapons will grant a +2 to either Dexterity or Strength, (Player's choice) for To Hit Rolls and Damage Rolls. 
This number increases to +3 at the 5th level, and +4 at the 15th level
[Using this skill instead of your physical weapon will mean not having your proficiency bonus for your rolls, this ability does not qualify as a Monk Weapon]

As a Forest Spirit you can add 2 points to one stat of your choice, and then 1 point to a second chosen stat.
Note that for the first two points allocation these MUST go to the same stat.
