i was making a darksun defiling bard (a kind of 'borrowing life from one being to heal another' type concept), and wanted a familiar for her, and preferably a plant one, seeing how it seams defiling kills mostly plant-life, but the Root-ling didn't feel "darksun" enough for me, so i had a go at homebrewing up one myself, based on the tree of life, and am wondering what people think:
Rootling of Life
This sappling from a Tree of Life is bound to its master's soul, and constitution.
Speed 6 climb 4
Constant Benefits
You gain a +2 bonus to Arcarna checks.
You gain desert walk(you ignore difficult terrain as a resault of a desert enviroment).
Active Benefits
Rootling of Life Defiling
Trigger: you use Arcane Defiling
Effect: Allies adjasent to the Rootling of Life do not take damage from your Arcane Defiling, instead the Rootling of Life disapears untill the end of the encounter, and after the attack is resolved you loose one healing surge or, (if none are left) damage equal to surge value.
any coments/critisism would be helpful, is it balence, or am i asking for too much here?
