in addition, as your roots sink into the ground with each step, you cannot be shoved, or dragged against your will

Forest Shape

When you reach 10th level,  

your Bark Skin hardens even further, as your body becomes more plant than flesh. You have Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing damage from nonmagical weapons,

however, you have vulnerability to fire damage.

additionally, as a action, you can use 2 uses of Forest Shape to transform into a Treant.

however you cannot use the treant’s animate trees ability.

Your wild shape ability now includes plants and creatures of the Plant type

when transforming into plant type creatures, CR limits still apply

when transforming into plants such as shrubs, trees, etc. the maximum height/length you can grow to is equal to five times your druid level in feet.

in addition, you can transform into a plant or animal with a CR of 0 without expending a use of your Wild Shape.

Nature’s Sanctuary

When you reach 14th level, creatures of the natural world sense your connection to nature and become hesitant to attack you. When a beast or plant creature attacks you, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your druid spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a different target, or the attack automatically misses. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

The creature is aware of this effect before it makes its attack against you.
