7.6. Dryad
A female spirit of the trees. They are tied to a tree at birth, and die if the

• Skills: Climbing d6, Fighting d4, Guts d6, Notice d8, Persuasion d8,
Stealth d10
• Pace: 6; Parry: 4; Toughness: 5
• Edges: Very Attractive
• Special Abilities:
– One With the Forest: Dryads get a +2 to their Notice and Stealth
rolls.
– Charm: Few men can resist the charms of a dryad. This is the
equivalent of the Puppet power; the dryad and target make opposed
Spirit rolls. If the dryad wins, the target is under her
control. When facing numerous opponents, she’ll use the target
to occupy them until she can escape; if facing a single foe,
she’ll take them back to her tree and Merge them (see below). A
Charmed target remains under control for one hour.
– Merging: A dryad can physically merge with her tree by making
a Spirit roll. While inside the tree, she can’t be harmed unless
the tree is harmed. If she’s taken more than 36” away from her
tree, however, she must make a Vigor roll each round or die. A
dryad can also force a Charmed opponent to merge with her tree;
the target can make a Spirit roll to resist, but failing that, they
will be dragged into the tree. Merged victims will live as long
as the tree does, and can be freed by the dryad or with a Dispel
effect.
