Homebrew Ent Species Details

Sentient trees, ents are often loath to become involved in the business of adventurers but will do so in times of great distress. They often move slowly or sit in perfect stillness. The time spent waiting and gathering strength allows an ent to not only ruminate on the mysteries of the world; but also reflect and learn from past experiences. Their sage wisdom and quick thinking are a boon to any adventuring party.

Ent Traits

The following traits are shared by player characters who are Ents.

Ability Score Increase

Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and your Intellect score increases by 1.

Age

Ents mature more slowly than humans and typically live about 600 years. Ents pride themselves on wisdom and experience, as such even though an ent can be physically mature by the age of 30; they are often not seen as mature until closer to 80.

Alignment

Most ents tend to be chaotic, not believing the laws of any city or ruler apply to the forest. They do not seem to prefer good or evil.

Size

Ents tend to be quite tall, between 10 and 15 feet. Their dense bodies weigh between 500 and 1000 pounds. Your size is Large.

False Appearance

While the ent remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal tree.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30ft.

Friend of the Forest

You have advantage on Animal Handling and Survival checks.

Natural Armor

Your bark provides you with thick defenses which can rival many types of armor.  When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC is 14 + your Dexterity modifier. A shield’s benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

Thick Bark

Your thick bark grants you resistance to more conventional damage types. You have resistance to bludgeoning and piercing damage. Unfortunately your body composition also means fire will be particularly effective against you. You have a vulnerability to fire damage.

Nature's Grasp

You naturally possess the ability to wrap foes up in your vine like roots. You gain access to the Entangle spell and may cast it once per short rest.

Seedling

Older ents are naturally protective of their younger siblings and all nature of plant life. Many times an ent will be lucky enough to have a seedling join them on their adventures. You gain access to the Find Familiar spell and your familiar is a tiny seedling that has the appearance of a small, sentient sapling.  It has the same statistics as an Awakened Shrub. 

You may alter its appearance as normal but at twice the usual material cost.

Languages

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