the Circle of Spores change was probably because poison is one of the most commonly resisted damage types (along with fire), plus there are a tonne of creatures that are outright immune to poison damage. Necrotic, on the other hand, is resisted by a lot of undead, but next to no creature has outright immunity to it. Even if you already knew all this, comments help the algorithm

The only thing I would consider changing here is the custom lineage background. Warforged can be made of many things, including wood, so just reflavor a Warforged a little bit and you've got your plant-person. While the Custom Lineage is an interesting work-around for a characters that don't have a clear race to adapt, it's also not especially flashy and feels a bit like a cop-out, whereas the Warforged race has a lot of unique options that can be pretty cool to play around with. I'm not necessarily saying "don't use the custom lineage" or even that it's bad for this build, just that if I were going to do this character, I'd go with a wooden Warforged.

Spore druid. At most maybe a couple fighter levels for punching. But mostly spore druid Welp, turns out I was right. I know, it was a tricky one to guess lol. I have to admit, druids just seem like a really awesome class in general. Like, if you want to play beast boy you need a solid amount of extra work to research the list of animal forms you want to use each level and that can be complicated, but spore druids? Not so much.

If Tasha's had caveat that the player, or DM, could choose to make the damage Poison or Necrotic I think it would be a better fit, and Tulok wouldn't be as confused. Also, variable damage doesn't happen very often so it could make things more interesting if not better.

He still has a weakness in authority but instead of being unable to be understood, he's really scary. He's faster than the tree-speed Groot, but his HP and defenses aren't as stellar.

I've been hoping for a Swamp Thing entry here. Was hoping it wouldn't be done overly similar to the Poison Ivy one. D&D 5E has its limitations in attempting to translate fictional characters such as these but I don't see him as a squishy full caster. I can see going at this build a lot of different ways but currently favor the below route... Background: SELENSNYA GUILD from Ravnica [for thematic green magic known/prepared] I like the old UA Primeval Guardian Conclave Ranger for the Big Green Guy since it literally turns a character Big & Green! lol I like Re-Flavored (old UA version) Warforged [Juggernaut] as race for him since it gives the big size, resilience, integrated protection, str bonus, & "iron" fists this way (must be ironwood I guess jk). Getting resilience right at level one, in particular, seems fitting. • You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage. • You are immune to disease. • You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe. • You don’t need to sleep and don’t suffer the effects of exhaustion due to lack of rest, and magic can’t put you to sleep. I would likely want to dip a single level of fighter at level 1 so that I could give him 16+Pro Bonus as integrated protection for AC.
