Plant-People have no need of food or drink due to the abundance of sunlight, soil, and water in the world. So any kind of economy is going to be either Communal or purely exterior to their day to day lives. Even "Shelters" is a bit iffy for Plant-People. Most of the driving factors for the baseline of a social structure are out the window, since most carnivorous predators aren't going after them and herbivorous animals can be slapped on the snoot to make them back off. Why band together at all, if there's no physical need?Living Crystals? Everything I just said about Plant-People dialed up to 11. Same thing with Living Sludge and Undead Monkeys. There's no incentive to form societal bonds because the vast majority of dangers don't apply to you, so why bother sharing resources and effort when there's no benefit to doing so?Aarakocra would be the one species liable to have any kind of reasonable economic exchange and food requirements to fulfill the basic narrative for an agrarian-based society.That world would likely have a cliff-dwelling feudal system for the Aarakocra that the rest of the peoples occasionally visit for no reason in particular...</blockquote>
