Treant^

Natures Constructs

Treants are sentient plant creatures who can come from many sources: such as being awakened by magic, or via a cursed transformation, or even grown up from spellwarped seeds, or the seeds of other treants.
Treants resemble small, walking trees. Most are tall and slender, with disproportionately long, creaky arms and legs, a torso resembling a treant, very little neck, a face with eyes, nose ears and a mouth, and leaf-filled small branches instead of hair. Each treant strongly resembles a specific kind of tree, such as birch, elm, oak, pine, etc. They breathe, can speak, and can eat if they wish, though most treants absorb nutrients by taking root at night. Depending on the type of tree they resemble, the leaves that make up their hair may change color and fall off with the changing of the seasons.
Treants are considered medium creatures for all purposes, but can grow to be nearly ten feet tall. They usually do not wear clothing. Non-treants usually cannot tell male treants from females.
Because of thier bond with nature, finding a Treant that uses metallic weapons, armor, and tools is as rare as a unicorn. Most treants have a barbaric fighting style or are spellcasters.

A Wandering Treant: Bad News

Treefolk spotted outside of their forest usually has undergone some manner of tragedy: a forest fire, deforestation by other races, or even occasionally defeat at the hands of a more powerful treefolk who seizes the defeated treefolk’s territory as spoils of victory. A treefolk without a forest to tend to may travel far until they find another patch of woods that suits their liking. If their woods were destroyed by other creatures, a wrathful treefolk will journey as far as it takes in order to exact revenge.

Barkskin. Treants cannot wear armor, but their tough bark provides them with a great deal of natural protection. A treefolk has an AC equal to 10 + Dex + Con Modifier.

Take Root. Treants do not sleep, but they must put down roots each night for at least 8 hours. While rooted they are immobile, though they can take other light actions if desired. They are aware of their surroundings while rooted, and have advantage on Deception rolls to disguise themselves as a tree. Treants can only take root in sand, dirt, mud, loose stone or gravel; they cannot root down through worked stone or bare rock. A treefolk unable to take root overnight gains one point of exhaustion and no benefits of a long rest.

Combat Rooting. As an action, treants can put down roots down in the heat of battle while standing on any ground in which they are capable of taking root. This causes their speed to drop to 0, but they become immune to being tripped, falling prone, and are immune to forced movement. They may uproot themselves as a bonus action.

Thick as a Plank. Treants have resistance to non-magical bludgeoning damage.
