Homebrew Ennevera Species Details
Ennevera are sentient plants with varied appearances, they may grow from any plant, and their appearance is limited by the size and ways that plant could grow, were they able to grow with intent. Some have a bipedal, humanoid shape, some are far closer to the plants they grew from but still possessed with a keen intelligence. Some seem to imitate animals and some take shapes completely their own, dictated by whatever reasons they might have. Ennevera are not entirely limited to one shape however. and through years of growth and decay, directed by the active consciousness of an Ennevera, they can change their forms to suit their preferences. The mind of an Ennevera is a mysterious thing, some will die off with the "body" they have, and if they have any offspring, they will be independent consciousnesses like an animal and its babies, if they are conscious at all. However, when reaching maturity and able to produce fertile seeds, some Ennevera go dormant, and their bodies return to their original inactive state. One seed of the now dormant Ennevera may grow a new "body" for the original, active consciousness if all conditions for growing their "body" is met. It is not known if this is an active choice by the Ennevera, based on it's species, or simply random. However, if it is an intentional choice then the consciousness of some Ennevera could theoretically endure forever.
Ennevera Traits
Ennevera are plant based in nature and therefore are able to modify their body, blend into their surroundings and regrow missing limbs with ease.Ability score increase
Ennevera can grow their bodies in many ways, and many choose to thicken their bark or harden the plant flesh beneath, if you choose to take this trait, it means that your character has put active attention into growing their body to become stronger and more resilient.
Tremorsense
An Ennevera that sends their roots into the ground can detect and pinpoint the origin of vibrations within a specific radius, provided that the Ennevera and the source of the vibrations are in contact with the same ground or substance. Tremorsense can't be used to detect flying or incorporeal creatures. If an Ennevera chooses to do this, they need to spend at least 5 minutes of concentration sending roots into the ground, however if they or someone else can dig a deep enough hole for them to put a limb into, this process can be sped up to 1 minute.
Camouflage
Ennevera are able to conceal themselves by blending in with nearby plant life. They have a +2 to stealth checks if it isn't a place the plant they are normally grows, and a +4 and advantage if they are in a place that plant would grow. A disguised Ennevera can be found out by somebody with a successful dc10 nature check in a non-ideal environment and a dc13 nature check in an ideal environment, being recognized immediately takes an Ennevera out of stealth.

Seedling
Ennevera can either remove damaged or at risk parts of their body and remain in the undamaged parts, or, should they need to entirely regrow, remove a small part of their body and transfer their consciousness entirely to it. Should an Ennevera be reduced to their last ditch "seedling" form, with full concentration in the proper conditions they can regrow a new body in about a month. Ennevera in their seedling form can also passively grow their new body over potentially years (depending on the type of plant, it can take anywhere from 1 to 20 years). This is often the favored option since all it requires is patience, however sometimes years upon years can be too long to wait.
