	If you're scratching your head and saying "wait, isn't that the dryad?", then that's understandable: that trait has often been applied to dryads by mistake and hamadryads have been left out of acknowledgement entirely. Why? Well, mostly because [[Dungeons & Dragons]] did it first (sort of how we got the [[Medusa]] and [[Gorgon~~]] by way of the [[Catoblepas~~]]) and other games have followed in its steps. Plus, it doubles as an attempt to make dryads something a little deeper than "sexy female [[elf]] [[druid]]s who can cast Charm Person".

	4th edition, however, gave them something of a makeover, relating to the makeover it gave to Dryads. First and foremost, 4e Hamadryads are a ''playable race'', detailed in "Heroes of the [[Feywild]]". The 4e Hamadryad ties into the 4e lore for dryads, which is that they were originally Autumn Nymphs (~~nymphs~~, in this edition, being the children of the fey embodiments of the seasons and the fey embodiments of the four winds) who gave up their old carefree nature to become ferocious defenders of the forest. The hamadryad is an intermediary state between nymph and dryad, descending from those who didn't go to the full extremes of their dryad cousins. This makes them, essentially, a weaker, more human-like, and thus playable form of dryad. Although still linked to a tree by default, it's not impossible for a 4e hamadryad to survive its death, and even without this violent sundering, they can still adventure far with tokens from their tree as a tangible link to its essence.		4th edition, however, gave them something of a makeover, relating to the makeover it gave to Dryads.

	Incidentally, hamadryads in 4e don't necessarily have to be female. Although "Female Only" is given as a racial trait, just like [[satyr]]s receive "Male Only", a sidebar notes that D&D is flexible and gender is cosmetic, so a DM who wants there to be male hamadryads or female satyrs is perfectly legitimate. Despite this, no DM has ever done so, since the casual presence of unmistakably male hamadryads would probably result in even louder cries of "[[Magical Realm]]!" than they'd get if male hamadryads were [[trap]]s.

	~~The hamadryad PC gets +2 Wisdom and +2~~ to ~~either Intelligence or Charisma,~~ is a ~~Medium creature with the standard 6 square movement speed~~, ~~has Low-light Vision~~, and ~~gets +2 to Diplomacy and Nature checks. Its racial traits are Fey Origin~~, ~~Forest Walk (ignore difficult terrain based on forest growth), Oaken Vitality (+5 racial bonus~~ to ~~Endurance checks to resist starvation, thirst~~ or ~~suffocation, go twice as long before needing to make such checks, trance as per an elf), Tree Mind (+2 racial bonus to saves vs~~. ~~daze~~, ~~dominate and stun effect)~~, ~~and~~ the ~~racial power~~ of Hamadryad Aspects. This is an encounter power that lets the hamadryad momentarily shapeshift, bringing either the Spellbinding Beauty of its nymphly nature (all enemies that can see you will grant you combat advantage until the end of your next turn) or the Wooden Form of its dryad nature (Resist 5/10/15 to all damage until the end of ~~your next turn)~~.
