Description

You conjure animated vines from your person that burst out in a 30 ft. cone. The vines wrap around all creatures in the area. Roll a single grapple check and apply it to all creatures in the area. Each target whose CMD you beat becomes tethered to you and takes the entangled condition. A creature’s space must be completely within the cone to be affected.

Moving (including forced movement) prematurely ends the spell and releases all tethers and entanglements.

At the start of your next turn, the vines snap back violently, pulling all tethered creatures toward the cone’s origin. You may select one affected creature to prioritize, pulling it adjacent to you (if there is space), and you may optionally deal your unarmed strike, slam, or claw damage to it. All other affected creatures are pulled as per GM discretion.

The masses of vine tethering a creature each have 5 AC, 10 HP, 0 Hardness, and DR/10 Slashing. They can be broken or escaped from as rope with a Strength check or Escape Artist check equal to the spell’s DC. Vines entangling each creature are separate. They wither into nothingness as the spell ends.

The spell can also be used to tug at objects, up to GM’s discretion.

Special: If you have Selective Spell and cast this against only 1 creature, you may focus multiple vines against the target. In so doing, you gain a +4 to the grapple check.

Test Campaign House Rules

0 House Rules Directory v2 House Rules General Rules and Etiquette Changing Rules: Rules may be patched or changed during the campaign. This will only happen between chapters. Scheduling: Please reply to scheduling messages ASAP. It does not have to be a yes/no immediately, but if it’s a maybe, you should at least give a reason why it’s a maybe. Preferably with an ETA of when you’ll get better information. If a player fails to show up to a session 2 or more times without good reason, they may be removed from the game. Character Motivations: Regardless of the PCs alignment and personality, I want them to cooperate with each other. For smoothness, I want the party to always be on the same map and to actively help each other during combat. The characters’ motivations must therefore be aligned, at least until the end of a chapter. If character motivations are misaligned, the minority half may have a separate session, or become NPCs until they realign. Roleplay:...
