Any creature you animated with this spell acts after your turn. You can mentally command the creature if it is within 20 meters of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). The creature(s) will generally follow any specific verbal commands that you issue to them if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires (no action required by you). For example you may command it to guard a particular chamber or corridor, explore the room ahead, or to attack a specific creature. If you don't issue any commands, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.

Animated Plants Statistics

An animated plant is a construct with Defense, Health, Strength, and Dexterity determined by its size. When it attacks, make a melee spell attack in place of its attack. Its Constitution is 0, its Intelligence and Wisdom are −4, and its Charisma is −5. Its speed is 5 meters; the plant can use half of its movement to detach its roots from the ground or root itself in the ground. It has blindsight with a radius of 5 meters and is blind beyond that distance. When the animated plant drops to 0 health, it reverts to its original plant form, and any remaining damage carries over to its original plant form.

If you command a plant to attack, it can make a single melee attack against a creature within 1 meter of it. It makes a slam attack with an attack bonus and bludgeoning damage determined by its size. The GM might rule that a specific plant inflicts slashing or piercing damage based on its form.

Augment

You can animate two additional plants for each additional mana expended.

As you spend 1 hour to cast this spell, tracing magical pathways within a plant, you touch a Huge or smaller plant. The target must have either no Intelligence or an Intelligence of −4 or less. The target gains an Intelligence of 0. The target also gains the ability to speak one language you know. The target gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and it gains senses similar to a human’s. Your GM chooses statistics appropriate for the awakened plant, such as the statistics for the awakened shrub or the awakened tree.

The plant is friendly to you and your companions and remains awakened until it drops to 0 health or when the spell ends.

When it attacks, make a melee spell attack in place of its attack, but retain the damage and other effects.

Any creature you animated with this spell acts after your turn.

You can also turn difficult terrain caused by plant growth (such as thickets and undergrowth) into ordinary terrain that lasts for the duration. Or you can turn ordinary terrain where plants are present into difficult terrain that lasts for the duration, causing vines and branches to hinder pursuers, for example.

Plants might be able to perform other tasks on your behalf, at the GM’s discretion. The spell doesn’t enable plants to uproot themselves and move about, but they can freely move branches, tendrils, and stalks.

If a plant creature is in the area, you can communicate with it as if you shared a common language, but you gain no magical ability to influence it.

This spell can cause the plants created by the ensnare or entangle spells to release a restrained creature.

As two actions, the ground in a sphere centered on a point within 20 meters twists and sprouts hard spikes and thorns. The area becomes difficult terrain for the duration. When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every meter it travels.

You must use 1 meter of movement to enter a tree. You instantly know the location of all other trees of the same kind within 100 meters and, as part of the move used to enter the tree, can either pass into one of those trees or step out of the tree you’re in. You appear in a spot of your choice within 1 meter of the destination tree, using another 1 meter of movement. If you have no movement left, you appear within 1 meter of the tree you entered.

You can use this transportation ability once per round for the duration. You must end each turn outside a tree.

Augment

• You can increase the distance by 100 meters for each additional mana expended.

• Transport via Plants.

You must have seen or touched the destination plant at least once before. For 1 round, any creature can step into the target plant and exit from the destination plant by using 1 meter of movement. After 1 round the spell ends.

As two actions, you create a wall of tough, pliable, tangled brush bristling with needle-sharp thorns at a point within 20 meters that lasts for the duration. The wall can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object and doesn’t need to be vertical, though it needs a firm foundation.

If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Reflex saving throw.

On a success, it can use its reaction to move up to its speed so that it is no longer enclosed by the wall.

The wall is an object made of plants that blocks line of sight. A creature can move through the wall, albeit slowly and painfully. A creature must spend 3 meters of movement for every meter it moves through the wall. The wall can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has 10 Defense, 1 Soak, and 1 Health per centimeter of thickness. Reducing a panel to 0 health destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the GM’s discretion.

You can choose to cast this spell without thorns to bridge a chasm or create a ramp. If you create a span greater than 4 meters in length, you must halve the size of each panel to create supports. You can crudely shape the wall with or without thorns to create crenellations, battlements, and so on.

A creature that enters the wall’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Reflex saving throw.

On a failure, it takes 3d8 piercing damage.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.

On a success, it takes half as much damage.

As two actions, you call out to the spirits of nature to rouse them against your enemies. Choose a point you can see within 20 meters. The spirits cause trees, rocks, and grasses in a sphere that is twice as big as normal centered on that point to become animated until the spell ends.

Grasses and Undergrowth. Any area of ground in the sphere that is covered by grass or undergrowth is difficult terrain for your enemies.

Trees. At the start of each of your turns, each of your enemies within 2 meters of any tree in the sphere must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or take 2d8 slashing damage from whipping branches.

Roots and Vines. At the start of each of your turns, a creature of your choice that is on the ground in the sphere must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or become restrained until the spell ends. A restrained creature can use an action to make a Brawn check against your spell save Difficulty, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Rocks. As an action, you can cause a loose rock in the sphere to launch at a creature you can see in the sphere. Make a ranged spell attack against the target.

On a hit, the target takes 3d8 bludgeoning damage, and it must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or fall prone.
