"dryad" hair

[dugfromthearth]

this is for a "race" that binds their life to a tree. They gain some powers from it. I will post other bits as I have them detailed (tree is a "base", detect tree instead of detect north for absolute direction, etc).

 

Their hair turns green and thick (like grass, although it could be leafy, needley or otherwise) and stores extra lifeforce when they are healthy.

 

This functions as extra body, strength, and con. The hair is a focus - cut it off and they lose the extra points (it grows back at the rate body regenerates). The strength and con are linked to the body - if the character loses body their hair falls out and/or wilts and their strength and con drops until it recovers. The CON does affect figured characteristics.

 

Note the hair is OIF, because everyone in the world basically knows what it does.

 

BODY +5 (10), OIF (-1/2), AP:10, RC: 7

STR +5 (5), OIF (-1/2), linked to BODY (-1/2), AP:5, RC:2

CON +5 (10), OIF (-1/2), linked to BODY (-1/2), AP:10, RC:5

 

So if they get hit and lose 2 body they also lose 2 str and 2 con.
