Nymphae of the Wild Bond

Stories say the Nymphae was once a shy grove spirit who feared hunters and fire. After centuries of watching wolves, deer, owls, and boars defend their young and their territories, she learned to mirror their courage. She now serves as the forest's living promise: alone she is fragile, but surrounded by loyal creatures she becomes a wrathful avatar of the wild.

Beast Speech. The Nymphae can communicate simple ideas with beasts as if using a shared instinctive language. Most beasts within 300 feet can sense her emotional state.
Fey Agility. The Nymphae has advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects she can see.
Unbound Frailty. While she is not bonded, her body is fragile and exposed. Her AC is 14, and she has resistance only to poison. This weakness is already reflected in her statistics.
Bonded Ascendance. When she uses Deepen the Bond, she is surrounded by a visible surge of leaves, hoofprints, feathers, and glowing motes.
Wildheart Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 () bludgeoning damage plus 10 () psychic damage, and the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the Nymphae until the end of its next turn.
Brambled Vow. Ranged Spell Attack: to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 27 () force damage, and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Deepen the Bond. The Nymphae tears open a glowing bond of shared instinct with the beasts around her. For 1 minute, she gains 60 temporary hit points, advantage on Strength checks and saving throws, her Claw attacks deal an extra 7 () damage, and she can use Pack Step as a bonus action. If she is within 30 feet of at least one beast or beast-like ally, she also gains resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. The bond ends early if she has no conscious beast ally within 30 feet at the start of her turn or if she is incapacitated.
Guardian Instinct. When a beast ally within 30 feet is hit by an attack, the Nymphae imposes disadvantage on that attack roll if the attacker is within 60 feet of her and she can see it.
Pack Step. The Nymphae moves up to half her speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
Call the Herd (Costs 2 Actions). One beast ally within 60 feet immediately makes one weapon attack or moves up to its speed.
Primal Ascendance (Costs 3 Actions). The Nymphae uses Deepen the Bond if it is available, or if already bonded she makes one Wildheart Claw attack and regains 10 hit points.
