Homebrew Fey Genasi also known as Alraune Species Details

History
Alraune are born under rare circumstances; it is only when the potent magic from the Feywilds seeps into the material plane and binds the soul of a recently deceased humanoid to a flowers' seed that they come into existence. Once all of the flowers' seeds are released into the soil, chances of survival are of course small. The infused seed, however, is capable of spending a long time in a "resting" state, waiting for the opportune moment to start growing. Once the seed germinates, it spends the first year growing into a bulb. It remains in the bulbous state, ever growing until reaching maturity and flowering into an alraune at around 5 years.

They do not practice history or keep written records of their exploits. Alraune tales are purely shared by word of mouth and often carry little significance. If anything, their existence is only recorded by the faint whispers of the forest.

Society
Although they don't form societies or even groups in the traditional sense of the word, alraune are still a part of nature and are willing to share their territory with allies if they find that this could be beneficial to themselves. Should their domain become endangered, they will fight alongside others to regain control. Alraune regard Druids highly, finding their ways with nature inspiring and fitting. Among the classes, druids are popular for them, and alraunes mostly respect their ways with the forests enough to not meddle in their business.

Alraunes tend to shy away from other races, hiding in the deeper parts of the forest - Should they come across a human it's often only from the treetops or as an inconspicuous form within their bulbs. There have been a few cases in which alraune have left the security of their forests with adventurers for a reason known only to them. It is possible that they left to gain experience and knowledge to bring back to their home one day because they have lost everything in a forest fire, or that their seclusion in an ancient forest is endangered.

In the inns, towns, and fields near the vast forests that alraune call home you may hear whispers of stories where adventures were taken captive by the alraune - where they were entangled and slowly digested until not even their bones were left. It is also speculated that consuming humans might be an important part of creating an offspring for alraune, as their origin is connected to the deceased.

Alraunes can be classified into three distinct strains:

• Sunflower Alraune are usually good and gentle towards other races, bravely approaching them when they stumble into their territory. Their radiant smile and playful nature is their most common characteristic as well as their tendency to invite others to play in the sun. It is because of this that their relationships with other races are the brightest of all the strains.
• Rose Alraune, while not as friendly, are easily the most charismatic of the strains. This natural Charisma and ability to beguile humans make them significantly more dangerous than the cheerful sunflower alraune. They are prideful and romantics to the core, in search of dedicated and faithful humanoids that keep them company. Those chosen by a rose alraune are charmed and carried deep into the forest, where they worship and tend to the rose alraunes needs.
• Venus Alraune do not typically actively search for relationships with other races. They are the most territorial and predatorial of the three strains and seem to have a particular preference for meat. They are adept at stealth and mobility, hiding in the deep foliage in wait for their prey or swinging from the treetops and pouncing on their unaware victim.

Alraune Pollen

The alraune produce a powerful pollen with an innate property pertaining to each subrace. As an action, you can release a puff of pollen in a 10-foot radius around yourself or in a 20-foot cone, forcing all creatures in range to make a Constitution saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failure, they come under an effect dependent on your subrace for 1 minute. An affected creature can repeat their saving throw each time they take damage. Once you use your pollen, you can't use it again until after you finish a long rest.

Calming Pollen. Creatures affected by your Alraune Pollen act as if under the effect of the calm emotions spell. When you use your Alraune Pollen trait, you can choose which of the two effects to use.

Aphrodisiac Pollen. Rose alraune produce a light sticky pollen that on contact with creatures acts as a strong aphrodisiac causing those affected by your Alraune Pollen to be charmed for the duration and regard you as a close friend as if affected by the charm person spell.

Silencing Pollen. Venus alraune produce a transparent pollen that when inhaled causes creatures to become mute. Creatures affected by your Alraune Pollen can't speak or vocalize. Additionally, the pollen numbs the senses of affected creatures, causing them to have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks while affected.

Solar Affinity

Of all varieties of alraune you are the most proficient at drawing energy from the sun. When you roll hit dice and you are in bright sunlight you gain a bonus to the number of hit points recovered equal to your proficiency bonus times the number of hit dice rolled. In addition, as an action, you can recover a number of hit points equal to your level if you are in bright sunlight. You can recover hit points using this trait once and regain use after you finish a long rest.

Plant

Your creature type is considered to be both humanoid and plant, and you can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena. However, when you take fire damage, you are frightened until the end of your next turn.

Floral Rest. Alraune do not need to sleep. Instead, they can root themselves in favorable soil, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day and absorbing nutrients from the soil. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. However, if the soil is not favorable you require a full 8 hours of rest to gain the equivalent of a long rest. As an action, you enter this state, rooting yourself into a patch of soft ground. While in this state your speed is reduced to 0. You can end this state, uprooting yourself as a bonus action.
