Homebrew Dryad Species Details
Dryads are humanoids who live within the woods. They blend in with nature itself due to plant-like properties that grow out of their bodies, like twigs, grass hairs, bark skin, leaves, and even flowers. For the most part, dryads are almost exclusively female, though some may be androgynous, as they are merely spirits of nature in the end. Dryads embody the trees usually, but some are found in other plants like river reeds and flower bushes. They usually wear loose clothing made of plant material. Dryads are typically described as fleeting and beautiful.

At the end of every hour you spend in bright sunlight, you regain hit points equal to your proficiency bonus. Likewise, if you don't spend a number of hours equals to your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier in sunlight a day, you will start to decay, taking one level exhaustion at the end of each hour after your next long rest. You cannot recover these levels of exhaustion by long resting until you spend the necessary number of hours in sunlight.
