When activated, the two trees tattooed on each side of the druid magically intertwine, and the druid undergoes a profound transformation. The twin trees glow, and the sound of creaking wood fills the air as they twist along the druid's back, with the limbs wrapping around their arms and the roots around their legs, enhancing the shapeshifted form and imbuing it with the power of nature.
Duration: 1 minute
Barkskin of the Twisted Trees: The bark of the intertwined trees forms an enhanced version of Barkskin, granting the druid a +2 bonus to their AC while the transformation is active. Additionally, the druid gains resistance to piercing, slashing, bludgeoning, and force damage from non-magical attacks.
Thornstrike: The limbs of the twisted tree tattoo extend into the druid's shapeshifted form, imbuing its attacks with the power of nature. With each successful melee attack the shapeshifted form makes against an enemy, roll a hit die (e.g., 1d8 for a druid) and add the result as piercing damage. All enemies within 5 feet of the hit target must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or suffer the same amount of piercing damage as thorns erupt from the strike. This damage is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances.
Rooted Resolve: The roots of the twisted tree tattoo anchor the druid to the ground, granting immunity to forced movement effects and resistance to critical hits. The druid also gains advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws to resist being knocked prone or grappled.
Vulnerabilities:
Fire Vulnerability: While in the Twisted Treebound Transformation, the druid is particularly vulnerable to fire damage. All fire damage dealt to the druid is doubled.
Lightning Vulnerability: The transformation's reliance on nature makes the druid vulnerable to electrical attacks. All lightning damage dealt to the druid is doubled.
Charge System: The druid can store up to a maximum of 3 charges of the Twisted Treebound Transformation. The druid may regain 1 charge per short rest or 3 charges per long rest, representing the druid's ability to draw upon the power of the tattoo and their brother's forgiveness.
