Sylvan Seed of Renewal

This acorn-sized seed pulses with the essence of the forest, its surface etched with intricate patterns of leaves and vines. Rumor has it that ancient druids once nurtured these seeds, using their power to weave the very fabric of nature into their own being.

Nature's Surge (Action): Once per long rest, as an action, the druid can plant the Sylvan Seed into the ground, creating a 30-foot radius area of dense plant growth centered on themselves. This area is considered difficult terrain for enemies. The druid gains 1 Nature Point each round they remain within this terrain, up to a maximum of 5 points. If the druid leaves this area, the plant growth immediately withers and dies.

Verdant Shield (Reaction): As a reaction, the druid can expend 2 Nature Points to grant themselves or an ally within 30 feet a shield of vines, providing +2 AC until the start of the druid's next turn.

Thorned Barrage (Bonus Action): As a bonus action, the druid can expend 3 Nature Points to cause the plant growth to erupt with thorned vines, dealing 2d6 piercing damage to all enemies within the area. The plant growth is consumed and the area returns to normal.

Rooted Resilience: While the druid remains within the plant growth area, they gain a passive bonus of +1 to all saving throws.
