Dryads are a non-playable Fey race found in Baldur's Gate 3. They channel powerful druidic powers, allowing them to entangle their enemies and call forth Wood Woads for help.

Notes

• Dryad's default attack deals 3d6+1Bludgeoning damage.
• In addition to  Grasp of the Forest, both the default attack and  Strengthened Shillelagh have also another passive that can  Entangle the target. It does not have a specific name, and the save in battle log is just against Main Hand Attack. It uses Spell save DC ( Dexterity saving throw to negate).
• Dryad's Spellcasting ability is wisdom.
• Dryad's blood turns into  Twisting Vines on the ground.
