Tree Stride.
A Dryad can step into and out of any living tree large enough to fit her in its trunk. You may stay there indefinitely, or you may use 10 feet of movement to appear inside another tree that can fit you up to 60 feet away. Any damage dealt to a tree while you are inside it is also dealt to you. If the tree is cut down, killed, or otherwise destroyed while you are inside it, you are forcibly expelled from it and take 10d10 force damage.
Treebound.
Each Dryad is bound to a single tree, usually a massive and ancient one at the heart of a dense forest. Any damage done to your tree is done to you, and any poisons or diseases affecting it affect you as well. You can perform a 24-hour ritual inside a tree to make it your bonded tree; most Dryads are loath to do this unless their original tree has died.
You do not need to eat, drink, or sleep but you do need to return regularly to your bonded tree; treat each day without a long rest inside your bonded tree as a day without food, and each day without a short or long rest inside your bonded tree as a day with only half enough water.
