If Graveroot remains motionless for 1 minute in a forested area, he becomes indistinguishable from a tree. While disguised, he has advantage on Stealth checks and attacks made during a surprise round.

Entangling Roots (Recharge 5–6)

Graveroot slams the ground, causing writhing roots to erupt in a 20-foot radius. All creatures in the area must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or become Restrained for 1 minute. Restrained creatures can repeat the save at the end of their turns.

Photosynthesis Drain (1/day)

Graveroot targets one restrained creature within 10 feet. The creature must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 18 ( 4d8 ) necrotic damage, and Tharowyn regains HP equal to the damage dealt.
