Homebrew Bonsai Dryad Species Details

Druids deep in zen mindfulness often take up the hobby of growing bonsai trees. Dryads that connect their souls to these trees are capable of distant travel as their bonsai is small and portable. These fey are naturally more outgoing and usually treat their druid caretaker as a close family member.

Bonsai Dryad Traits

As a Bonsai Dryad you have the following traits.

Ability Score Increase

Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and Your Charisma score increases by 1.

Age

Bonsai dryads reach maturity when their tree reaches its maximum height (15-24 inches) in around 20 years and live until their tree decays naturally in 100 years.

Alignment

Bonsai dryads have a deep rooted connection to all living things; attempting to preserve life whenever possible and at every turn. This indifferent compassion makes most bonsai dryads neutral good.

Size

Dryads vary in size based on the type of tree the spirit was infused to. They are typically around 5-7 feet tall and slender. Your size is medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Forest Magic

Your bonsai tree can be used as a spellcasting focus. While holding your bonsai, you can cast either the Entangle or Goodberry spell once with this trait; you regain the ability to cast it when you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Tree Recall

As an action you can teleport to an unoccupied space adjacent to your bonsai tree. Additionally, you can instead choose to teleport your bonsai to an unoccupied space adjacent to yourself. You cannot teleport using this trait if you are more than (100 x Your Level) feet away from your tree. Once you teleport with this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Commune with Nature

You can communicate simple words and phrases with beasts and plants as if you shared a language.

Bonsai

You possess a tiny bonsai tree with a number of hit points equal to half of your maximum hit points (rounded down). The bonsai regains hit points equal to half of all the healing you receive, and when damaged by fire, takes 1d4 additional damage. If a friendly creature holds your bonsai, its AC becomes equal to theirs. Otherwise, your tree’s AC is 7.

Race & Language

Your creature type is fey, rather than humanoid. You can speak, read, and write common, elvish, and sylvan.
