Half-Dryad Race (5e)
Conceived from a dryad and a mortal¸ half-dryads are a rare¸ but not unheard of¸ occurrance. The most commonly told tale is of adventurers charmed by the fey's beautiful features-often causing unspoken resentment much like the disdain for other bastard children. Race Info: I wanted to make a human-esque fey-based race¸ and a half-dryad seemed like a good way to go. I took some inspiration and adapted a lot of the flavor text from ianfhunter 's race and the D&D Wiki race. I used the monster manual entry for dryads as an ability basis¸ and then used JamesMusicus 's Race Balance Guide to make the race balanced as best I could. Since much of the contents of the race is adapted from other sources¸ I'm putting it up here for free! This is my first homebrew anything¸ so any and all constructive criticism and feedback is welcome! Additionally¸ things that would help improve the product are actual quotes from D&D novels about half-dryads/half-fey creatures¸ and any appropiate license free or creative commons art. If you know of any¸ feel free to comment with recommendations!
