Forest Guard (TP)

You create a Small animated shrub, which grows from the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The shrub has a number of human-like characteristics, such as a wooden body and face, but it lacks hands and arms and can't move.

Any creature hostile to you that moves to a space within 10 feet of the shrub for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, is targeted by the shrub's leaf attack. The shrub makes a ranged weapon attack, using your spell attack modifier. On a hit, a creature takes 1d4 slashing damage.

On your turn, you can use a bonus action to make a shrub use its leaf attack against one creature within 10 feet of it. If multiple shrubs created by you are within 10 feet of the target, this attack deals 1d4 slashing damage per shrub on a hit.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can create one additional shrub for every two slot levels above 1st.
