Homebrew Entfruit 2024 Species Details

Treant Born          

Entfruit, also known as Tombaums, are born of Treants so ancient that they have ceased movement in all but the most dire of situations. Entfruit are born to perform the treant's regular duties of protecting forests and trees that will soon awaken into treants.

They serve a specific purpose in the treant's life cycle as well; when an Entfruit dies, it turns into a tree sapling. This tree is destined to Awaken into a Treant.

Solitary Wanderers          

Entfruit tend to live and exist on the fringes of other societies; they have difficulty connecting and relating to other races. In particular, they find gender and prejudice based on race or subrace strange and confusing. Though they can usually tell the difference between individuals, it is not uncommon for them to mistake a member of one race as a member of another. They often travel far from their parent treant, exploring and protecting nature as they go.

Ability Score Increase. By default, your Wisdom increases by 2 and Your Constitution increases by 1.

Age. It takes only a few months for an Entfruit to develop to adulthood physically, but it generally takes a few years from their "birth" for them to learn the ways and language of their origin society. They do not truly die, but do turn to treant seeds after roughly 150 years.

Entfruit Names

Though they have names among each other, these names cannot be articulated to non-plant creatures, so they often recieve names from the races whose settlements they first encounter (often Pixish or Elves), or recieve simple nicknames such as Twiggy. They do not weigh gender when choosing names. If they recieved names from members of a society they've joined, those people may offer names based on the Entfruit's percieved gender.

Tree Beings

You have advantage on Dexterity(Stealth) checks in forested areas and can move across difficult terrain made of plants or dirt without expending extra movement.

Wooden Defense

You have a +1 bonus to AC while not wearing metal armor.

Entseed

Upon death, an Entfruit takes the form of a sapling which will become a treant after 300 years. While in this form, the Entfruit is considered dead and can be returned to their original form using ressurection or a similar spell. Lost body parts are not returned unless specifically returned by the spell. An Entfruit in sapling form cannot be raised as an Undead Creature. 

Roots

You do not need to eat or sleep, but must remain rooted in soil which can support plant life for 6 hours per day instead. Additionally, you can spend an action to root yourself into the ground. While Rooted, you have Temporary Hit Points equal to twice your level plus your Constitution Modifier, but also a Speed of 0 and disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws. You cannot be moved by effects that would move you less than 15 feet while rooted. If an effect would move you more than 15 feet, you are uprooted, and lose the temporary hit points after taking any damage associated with the effect. You can uproot yourself with a Bonus Action, losing all benefits and penalties of being rooted.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.
