Iron Bark- Your body is tree-like, which leaves you rather ill-fitted for wearing armor. Thick layers of bark line your body however; it gives you a base AC of 17. Your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number. You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield's bonus as normal. Nature Born- You were born in nature and are one with it. You are proficient in the Nature skill. Treeish State- As an action, you may enter an inert state. While in this state, you are indistinguishable from a normal tree, your speed is 0 and you cannot take any actions except to leave this state. You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation while in your inert state, during which you retain consciousness.

Description:
Dendros resemble a bipedal humanoid shape, though tower over many other races. They can stand between 7 and 8 feet tall though their skin is far more like the bark of a tree. dendros have very long arms though still possess digited fingers.
The habitat a Dendro grows to adulthood within (which takes 100 years), has a great influence on their appearance. Slowly their skin will harden and take an almost bark look which resembles the trees they spend most of their time communing with. Moss, grass, vines, mushrooms, rot, and other conditions are also pulled from the same habitat. It is quite common for Dendros to grow fauna most commonly found in their habitat. That is how you can usually tell where a Dendros spent their youth. After reaching 100 years of age their bodies no longer adapt to new habitats and will continue to grow in the manner they did for the first 100 years of their life.
