Disintegrate does not affect trees

[Dannyalcatraz]

I object to the objectification of trees!

 

[Dandu]

I object to your objection. I find it... objectionable.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I, being the object of your objection- due to my objection of the objectification- object to my position being called objectionable!

(BTW, if you are looking at this in a mirror, it is probably closer than it appears...)

There's a clause buried in the plant type: "Note that regular plants, such as one finds growing in gardens and fields, lack Wisdom and Charisma scores (see Nonabilities) and are not creatures, but objects, even though they are alive."

Wait, can you cast Animate Object on trees? Then Permanancy means you made animated living objects that are immune to disintegrate.

Yeah, in D&D, a creature is a specific definition meaning something that has wis and cha scores. In other words, it can sense its surroundings and has some sense of "self."

So plants hit an awkward gap where they're living yet not creatures, in the D&D sense.

But wood you...errrrr...would you as DM let living foliage provide totally impervious coverage to Disintigrate?

Curious Druids want to know...

Nah. After you cast Animate Object on it, it becomes an Animated Object, which is a construct, and NOT immune to Disintegrate.

I wish people would leaf topics like this alone, they make the rules lawyers start barking up the wrong tree.

See previous posts for examples.

Hey, they may be a little green, but the puns do grow on you.
