Magic Affinity (Nature’s Ward): Maribelle has advantage on saving throws against spells that target plants, bees, or natural phenomena.
Communicate with Bees (3/Day): Maribelle can cast Speak with Animals but only to communicate with bees or pollinating insects, effectively commanding swarms of bees to obey her simple commands.
Healing Honey (1/Day): Maribelle can apply enchanted honey to a creature, healing 2d8 HP.
Protective Swarm (Recharge 5–6): Maribelle can summon a swarm of bees in a 15-ft radius centered on her. Creatures of her choice within the swarm must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much on success. The swarm lasts 3 rounds and acts on her turn.
Bee Sting Dagger (Melee Weapon Attack): +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d4 + 2 piercing damage (small dagger) and target must succeed on DC 13 Constitution save or have disadvantage on attack rolls for 1 round as bees distract them.
Command Swarm (Bonus Action): As a bonus action, Maribelle can direct a summoned swarm of bees to attack, move, or protect allies.
Nature’s Shield: When an ally within 10 ft. is hit, she can cause a swarm of bees to interpose, giving the ally +2 AC against that attack (once per short rest).
