Homebrew Dryad of Lore Species Details

Traits

 First off let me say I Love the Dryad race by VillainTheory. However I wanted something slightly different yet heavy on lore. This is my first attempt at making a custom race so feedback will be great.

Ability Score Increase

Your Constitution score increases by 1, and your Charisma score increases by 2.

Age

A dryad's spirit is bound to a tree. They remain young and alluring as long as the tree is healthy. If the tree is ever killed or destroyed, a dryad Starts to wilt and die loosing 1 max hp/day. The Sapling must be watered daily and receive day light If the sapling goes without water or sunlight for 7 days it Enters a state of dormancy.

Dormancy

Dormancy is like hibernation in that everything within the plant slows down. Metabolism, energy consumption, growth and so on. The first part of dormancy is when trees lose their leaves. During this time the Dryad looses all spellcasting abilities, If the sapling remains dormant for 15 days it looses bond to the dryad in an attempt to stay alive. Once the bond is broken the dryad starts to die at 1 max hp/day until she can find a greater fay or a powerful druid to Bind her soul to this or another sapling . 

Dryads are most often neutral, with their main focus on tending to the sapling and nature around them. Dryads working in union with other forest creatures in some form of alliance may tend toward lawfulness. Those deeply isolated in wild, untamed lands may be chaotic.
