Dryad Race

From DDO Compendium

Overview[edit]

Dryads appears to be beautiful women with delicate features seemingly made of soft wood. Their hair seems to be made of leaves and foliage that changed color with the seasons of the calendar. During the spring and summer months, the hair of a dryad is lush and green, while during autumn it turns red and eventually brown in the winter.

Dryads prefer to live away from civilization, delighting in the savage wilderness away from those that sought to cut their trees. They live with respect to nature and accept the company of those that did so as well. Attractive men who are fond of nature are often taken in by a dryad as both their mate and guardian.

Dryads are generally benign, and attempt to warn off intruders. Only those who are particularly cruel and determined to destroy a dryad's forest see the full wrath of these fey.

All dryads are magically bound to a single tree. These trees serve as the dryad's life force and home. They fight to the death to protect their bonded tree, as should the tree be cut or destroyed, the dryad die soon afterward. A dryad can not stray too far from her bonded tree without suffering the same fate. If a dryad leaves the vicinity of her tree for too long, she dies.
