Root Cloak
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
-
This cloak is a tangle of roots that drapes down to the ground. As an action you can extend the roots into the ground, immobilizing yourself until you use an action to retract them. While the roots are extended, you gain the effects of the speak with plants spell out to a range of 120 feet, which you can do telepathically. If there are plants for you to communicate with, you become aware of the location and type of any creature that enters this radius. Once per day, after you complete a short rest with the roots extended, you can roll 2 additional Hit Dice. If the amount of health you regain with these hit die exceeds your hit point maximum, the excess becomes temporary hit points. These temporary hit points are represented by a lattice of verdant branches that grows around the cloak.

Fyrengaar assumed tree pose in the center of camp and his living cloak draped and extended its roots into the soil. His mind reached out and joined the bustling throng of the forest. After making acquaintances and catching up with the local gossip, the nearby flora shifted in welcome. Limbs curled subtly to offer comfortable seating and shade for his companions, beautiful wildflowers bloomed and shared their fragrance, and roots spread to expose a burbling spring with abundant fresh water.
