A Dryad can communicate with beasts and plants as if they shared a language.

Once on their turn, a Dryad can use 10 feet of their movement to step magically into one living tree within their reach and emerge from a second living tree within 60 feet of the first tree, appearing in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the second tree. Both trees must be Large or bigger.

Your Dexterity Score increases by 2 and your Wisdom Score increases by 1

Although a being of Fey, Dryads still age. They mature incredibly quickly due to their magical nature, and can claim "adulthood" after 1 year. Fey creatures can live for thousands of years naturally, no records in history have any knowledge of Fey upper ages.

Dryads act as guardians of their woodland demesnes. Shy and reclusive, they watch interlopers from the trees. They will either divert and escort the interloper out of the woodland under their stewardship, or attack with relentless fury. There is nothing that will dictate which action will be taken, they are as fickle and as balanced as nature. Dryads tend to be neutral, such is nature.

Dryads take on the form of nature, their height varies based on the size of the tree/natural fauna they inhabit. Their size is between 4ft and 7ft.

Your base walking speed is 35ft.

Accustomed to twighlight forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

You speak, read and write Sylvan and Common.

Powerful fey will sometimes bind lesser fey spirits to trees, transforming them into dryads. This is sometimes done as a punishment when the fey spirit falls in love with a mortal and that love is forbidden.

A dryad can emerge from the tree and travel the lands around it, but the tree remains her home and roots her to the world. As long as the tree remains healthy and unharmed, the dryad stays forever youthful and alluring. If the tree is harmed, she suffers. If the tree is ever destroyed, the dryad descends into madness
