"Nah, she’s real, I tell ya. Ever since that time I ain’t been able to even look at another woman. Yeah, I know she was a tree! Didn’t matter...I would have polished every inch of that fine oak every day if she’d asked me too."
——Retired Traveler
Dryad’s dress in light, skimpy clothing or nothing at all. They have fey characteristics, but their skin has a soft wooden appearance. The hair is long and green, with their bodies covered in green leafy patterns. They use their tie to the forest to charm those who would do it harm, or to send others who would help to deal with them. If forced to fight themselves, they can subdue their assailants with magic or form a bow from their own bodies to strike with arrows from a distance. Their impossible beauty and calm demeanor make them extremely pleasant to interact with, as long as you play by their rules.
