The Gaming Den

Leaf Blade (Su): the Verdant Master can, with a Swift action, conjure up a giant leaf blade that remains active as long as he continues to hold it. It counts as a Long Sword or Great Sword (his choice when creating it), and is a Magic Weapon. All attacks with it are considered a [Leaf] effect.

Prickly Thorns (Su): the Verdant Master is thornier than he seems. Whenever someone strikes him with a natural weapon or a non-reach melee weapon, or even makes a melee touch attack against him, they suffer 1d4 points of Piercing damage as a [Leaf] effect.

Nod to Nature (Ex): the Verdant Master likes plants and animals, and will not wear armour that is made out of them unless he actually made them or oversaw the process to ensure no undue suffering was caused. In return for this, he may add his Constitution modifier as a bonus to hit and damage with all [Leaf] effects.

Vine Bondage (Su): a second level Verdant Master can create a burst of vines with a Standard action. This 10' radius spread can be formed within Medium range, and those in the area must make a Ref save (DC 10 + half HD + Wis) or be Entangled for 5 turns. When hit by the effect (whether they pass the save or not), and every turn they remain Entangled and attempt any action, they suffer 1d6 damage, as a [Leaf] effect.

Razor Leaf (Su): at level two, the Verdant Master can spend a Full Round action throwing many sharp leaves at people. He may make one ranged attack per three levels he possesses, out to Short range, and each deals 1d4 Slashing damage as a [Leaf] effect and has a 15-20 threat range.

Vine Whip (Su): every three levels, the Verdant Master's Leaf Blade can be extended another five feet, threatening more space but still being able to threaten the previous space. So at third level it reaches like a Spiked Chain, at level six it reaches like a Whip and so on.

Leech Seed (Su): a third level Verdant Master can unleash a small seed with a Swift action. This requires a melee touch attack, and if it hits, the target will take 1d6+Wis damage every round for 1 minute, with the Verdant Master gaining that same amount in healing. The target gets a Fort save to negate the initial implantation (Con-based), and can also save to negate the effects on a turn-by-turn basis. This is not a [Leaf] effect.

Thorny Ground (Su): at level four, the Verdant Master may cast Spike Growth at will, though only one such effect may be active at a time. The save DC is Wisdom-based.

Prickle Punch (Su): a fourth level Verdant Master gains a natural Slam attack that deals 1d4+Str Piercing damage, and may be used as an off-hand weapon for TWF with the Leaf Blade (longsword). Whenever it hits, painful prickles and thorns attach themselves to the target, causing a -4 Dexterity penalty and the loss of 2 HP per round for 1 minute (or until a DC 15 Heal check is made).

Flower Body (Su): a fifth level Verdant Master has a permanent Featherfall effect, and can stand as a free action.

Leaf Storm (Su): at level five, the Verdant Master can call up a burst of razor sharp leaves with a Standard action. A 15' radius, 100' high column within Medium range may be targeted, everyone in the area taking 1d4 Slashing damage per level and 2 Con damage, with a Ref save for half (Wis-based). This is a [Leaf] effect, and anyone who is not immune to critical hits must save twice and pick the lower result.

The "Nod to Nature" bonus to damage only applies to the HP damage, not the Con damage.

Photosynthesis (Su): at level five, the Verdant Master gains Fast Healing 2 in sunlight. It upgrades to 5 at level 10, to 7 at level 15 and to 10 at level 20.

Fungal Spores (Su): at sixth level, the Favoured Soul can spend a Standard action spreading spores out to all adjacent squares. Those in the area must make a Fortitude save (Con-based) or become Nauseated for one round and take 1 Con damage. Those immune to Poison are unaffected, as it is caused by the small spores creating poison inside them.

Made With Care (Su): at level seven, the Favoured Soul becomes a master of making stuff out of dead animals. If wearing Leather, Studded Leather, Hide, or any other armour made from the skin or scales of dead things, as long as he killed the critter and made the armour, he gains special bonuses. He may do any of the following, once per round:
[*]Charge as a rhino, dealing double damage on the charge attack.
[*]Pounce as a lion, making a full attack on a charge attack.
[*]Make a Trip as a free action when successfully hitting a foe with a melee weapon.
[*]Gain Damage Reduction X/Cold Iron for the round as a Free action, where X equals half his level plus his Con modifier.

Only one may be selected per round.

Wooden Body (Su): at level seven, the Verdant Master can change his body to wood with a Move-Equivalent action. Reverting to normal requires a Move-Equivalent action as well. In wooden form, he gains Electricity Resistance equal to his level and floats on water. He additionally takes only half damage from non-Slashing weapons.

Dryad Kick (Su): a level eight Verdant Master, when using the Prickle Punch, may make an additional Slam attack once per round as a Free action. This is made at no penalty despite being a Secondary Natural Attack, and deals 1d8+Str Bludgeoning damage. It is a [Leaf] effect, and forces the target to make a Fortitude save (Con-based) or be knocked Prone and (optionally, at his choice) hurled 30' away.

Sudden Thorn (Su): the eighth level Verdant Master may call a giant thorn up as an Immediate action. It appears within Short range, and deals 3d6 Piercing damage with no saving throw as it stabs the target from beneath. This is a [Leaf] effect.

Wall of Thorns (Sp): the ninth level Verdant Master may cast Wall of Thorns at will, though only one such effect may be active at a time.

Solar Beam (Su): at level ten, the Verdant Master can unleash a blast of solar energy with a Full Round action at will, though only when in sunlight. This beam is a 5' wide line that extends out to Long range. All in the area take 2d6 damage per level with a Reflex save for half damage (Wis-based). This is a [Light] effect.

Sudden Tree (Su): at level eleven, the Verdant Master gains the ability to summon a giant tree within Short range, anywhere from 5' tall (not so giant) to 10' radius and 250' tall with an Immediate action. The tree is good for climbing, and he may even summon it beneath him, instantly soaring to great heights. The tree is then there for good, an actual tree, but it needs care as normal.

Ent Stomp (Su): any time anyone becomes Prone within the threatened area of a level thirteen Verdant Master, he may make an Attack of Opportunity against them. They then must make a Fortitude save (Con-based) or be Dazed for one round.

Dryad Breath (Su): at level thirteen, the Verdant Master gains a breath weapon he can use once per minute. It creates a 30' long/wide cone of pollen and toxic petals, causing all in the area to make a Fort save (Con-based) or take 1d6 Con damage and fall asleep for 1 minute. At level seventeen, the length and width double to 60'.

Briar Storm (Su): at level fourteen, the Verdant Master may use Sudden Thorn without using his Immediate action by expending an Attack of Opportunity. This needn't target a threatened square and the target need not actually provoke, it just uses an AoO. Only one Sudden Thorn may interrupt any given action, however.

Sudden Forest (Su): at level sixteen, the Verdant Master using Sudden Tree may create up to a dozen trees within Long range.

King of Trees (Ex): at level twenty, the Verdant Master wins the game, and also gains ten level 3 Verdant Followers as underlings. His feet leave trails of flowers wherever he steps, and any dead plant he touches returns to life.
