Homebrew Botani (Plant Folk) Species Details
Botani are plant-like humanoids who originate the feywild. Distant cousins of dryads, they are tasked as protectors of nature. Some might have green, leaf-like skin or flowers growing in their hair. Their connection to the feywild allows them to control some of the surrounding plantlife, slinging thorny vines to entangle foes or resist damage with bark-like skin. Botani are about the same size as humans and can live for about a century.
