Become one with nature

 Pledging oneself to the Dryad patron opens a conduit to the lush, magical realm of Fairy Queen Titania, where the Silver Grove flourishes with fey wonders and natural splendor. Warlocks of this path align with one of three distinct factions. The Shadowed Boughs serve as the sly and deadly operatives, acting as the eyes and ears of the Grove through their espionage and assassination. The Silver Grove faction, embodying the heart and soul of Titania’s court, consists of priests, healers, and mystics who channel potent fey magic for the grove's protection and welfare. Meanwhile, the Timberbrides stand as fierce warriors who fight alongside magical creatures to defend the realm with fang and claw.

 The bond with the Dryads imparts unique gifts that grow in power as the warlock advances. Initially, these gifts provide protection against the many hazards of the natural and fey worlds, while later granting traits akin to the Dryads themselves. Ultimately, this pact may serve as an extension of one’s loyalty to Titania herself, for every action taken reflects upon the entire Silver Grove and its enchanting queen. The warlock, therefore, becomes a guardian of the wild, wielding nature's might and magic as they navigate the intricate balance of this otherworldly allegiance.

Additionally, whenever you learn a new Warlock cantrip or replace one you have prepared, you can choose a cantrip from the Druid spell list instead.

Beasts that lack sufficient intelligence may not be able to convey or understand sophisticated concepts, but any friendly beast could relay what it has seen or heard in the recent past.

• You have advantage on saving throws against being knocked prone.

Level 10: A Verdurous Life

Beginning at Warlock level 10, your pact imparts some of the plant-like qualities of a being a Dryad to you. Parts of your skin take on a green hue, and sparsely leafed branches sprout from your head like horns.

Additionally, so long as you spend at least 6 hours in direct sunlight and drink water, you don't require food or sleep, You can also hold your breath indefinitely. You still require rest to reduce exhaustion and you can still benefit from finishing short and long rests.

Lastly, you begin to age at a slower rate. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year, and you are immune to being magically aged.

Level 14: Natural Order

When you reach Warlock level 14, creatures of the natural world are able to sense your connection to the Silver Grove and your Dryad patrons, affording you a level of respect and deference from certain types creatures.

You have advantage on any Charisma (Persuasion or Intimidation) skill checks made to interact with beast, fey, or plant creatures.

Additionally, whenever a beast, fey, or plant creature attacks you, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a different target, or lose that attack. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Beast, fey, and plant creatures are aware of this ability before it makes its attack against you.
