Yeah sound good. I guess using spike growth or some variant thereof?

like wall of thorns?
The barrier blocks line of sight.
If the chthon can see a controlled beast or plant within 120 feet, it can send telepathic orders the creature follows to the best of its natural ability.
Alternative is that vegetation is thick but just obscures (rather than blocks) vision.
On the other hand, I do think the last para is good as undoubtedly after 60 ft the creatures and the chthon can't see each other.
yepSo maybe under 5 feet of thickness is lightly obscured, and over 5 feet is heavily obscured? So they can see with disadvantage through a regular 10-foot-long-by-4-foot-thick panel or two thicknesses of stretched 20-foot-long-by-2-foot-thick panels, but two thicknesses of regular panels (8 ft. total) or a regular panel plus a stretched panel (6 ft. total) block vision?

Right-ho, I'll draft something a bit more formal for the obscurement in my next post in this thread which hopefully will be sometime soon.
Yes sounds reasonable/agreeBasically, I don't want the Chthon spamming vegetable walls to trap its opponents while its retinue slowly gnaws them to death.
My current preference is Once per Short Rest for the branches and a Recharge for the other plant protection I'm thinking about.

Oh, and it needs an Armour Class. It's only wood, so it oughtn't to be that high. Maybe AC 12 or thereabouts? A wall of stone is only AC 15. I'd even go down to AC 10 like the web of a Giant Spider.
let's go with AC 12. 10 just seems too easy
20 ft is better to impede the progress of attackers. 10 ft doesn't impede much
(NB: didn't we decide speed 5 ft., burrow 5 ft.?)

agreedHowever that'd make the wording more complex and the Barrier of Branches is already rather wordy so I'm leaning towards the simplicity of a circle.
For some reason I thought we buffed the CHA to 17....., making DC 13 save...?
