Bracers of Nature's Grip

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

Coiling ivy has been magically wrapped to form this pair of bracers. A glint of druidic magic still lingers within them. While wearing the bracers, you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with your unarmed strikes, or a +2 bonus if you have proficiency in the Nature skill. This bonus also applies to any save DC or ability check you make to grapple another creature.

The bracers have 5 charges and regain all expended charges daily at dawn. When a creature becomes grappled by you, or as a bonus action on any of your turns while you're grappling a creature, you can expend 1 of the bracers' charges to cause vines to wrap around that creature. When you do so, the vines maintain the grapple independently, allowing you to let go of the creature and move as normal without ending the grapple. The escape DC for this grapple is equal to your normal escape DC or the result of your last grapple check against the creature. Whenever the grappled creature attempts to escape from the vines or another creature attempts to break it free, the grappled creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage from the vines as they constrict it.

One way or another, the plants will always reclaim the world.
