As such, they need AC, HP, etc. The tree's stats I pulled from the DMG. The underbrush I scaled down from the trees. Light underbrush should be able to be destroyed rather quicklyAdding the concept of reach to the plants to allow vines, willow tree's and such to stretch out over roads or rivers to grasp at the targets. I was thinking of the tree's drawing the creatures in ala LOTR and a couple other fantasy novels out thereAdded the difficult terrain to reflect the added care a creature has to spend in avoiding entanglement while moving. In RP speak it could be either careful dodging of plants, or the plants santching and and delaying progress without completely entangling.Added clarification of how size matters.In essence, this edited version is virtually a duplicate of the RAW.  Not at all. The spell does not call into being, grow, increase, or otherwise manipulate the plants. It uses existing plants. The likely reason the rules don't cover chopping-away is because its a 1st ed spell and no WOTC person thought to add that piece.</blockquote>
