Plant Form ~ Required Score: 10

plant, polymorph, transmutation


  • Casting Time: 2 actions; Somatic and Verbal
  • Duration: 1 minute per Proficiency Score (D)

You transform into a Large plant battle form. You count as a plant in addition to your normal tags while in this form. Your gear is absorbed into your form; the constant abilities of your gear still function but you cannot activate any item abilities. When you craft this extract, you chose one of the following and gain the attacks, Speeds, and special abilities listed:

Flytrap Speed 5 feet; Resistance 10 against acid; Jaws (reach 10 feet) with a number of d8s piercing damage equal to half your Proficiency Score and you can spend an action immediately after a successful attack to inflict the Grabbed condition on the target.

Shambling Mound Speed 20 feet, Swim Speed 20 feet; Resistance 10 against electricity; Vine (reach 15 feet) with a number of d8s slashing damage equal to half your Proficiency Score.

Treant Speed 30 feet; Branch (reach 15 feet) with a number of d10s bludgeoning damage equal to your Proficiency Score; Root with a number of d8s bludgeoning damage equal to half your Proficiency Score; you can speak in this form but not well enough to supply Verbal actions.

You can substitute a similar specific plant to turn into (such as a pitcher plant instead of a flytrap). You also gain the following statistical changes:

  • Add a +2 Strength bonus and +2 Dexterity bonus.
  • Add a +2 Deflection bonus to AC (size not included); ignore armor check penalty and reduced Speed.
  • Trained in natural attacks and you gain an extra +5 damage bonus.
  • Gain 10 temporary Hit Points when you have the form.
  • Low-light vision.
  • Resistance 10 against poison.

The special statistics can be adjusted only by Insight bonuses, Assist bonuses, advantage, and disadvantage. Your battle form prevents you from crafting extracts, speaking, or spending most action with the manipulate tag that requires your hands (the GM determines which manipulate actions you can spend if there is doubt).

Heighten (14, 18): For each level, your form increases by one size step and your attacks gain a 15 foot reach (or 5 more if they started with more). You must have enough space to expand or the extract is lost. Your Deflection Armor bonus increases by 1 but for each size increase you take a size penalty to AC: –1 for Large, –2 for Huge, –4 for Gargantuan, –8 for Colossal; your damage bonus increases by 2; and your temporary Hit Points go up by 10.
