Ash Bloodroot was once a treant druid, a defender of the woodlands and the creatures who live therein. As the end of his life approached, Ash's fear of death drove him to seek unlife as a lich. In the process, he turned his back on everything good and holy, becoming an ex-druid and blighter.[sblock=Ash Bloodroot; CR 30Lich treant ex-druid 11/blighter 9]CE Huge undeadInit +2; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, Listen +34, Spot +34Languages Abyssal, Common, Sylvan, Treant-----AC 36 (-2 size, +2 Dex, +8 armor, +5 deflection, +13 natural), touch 15, flat-footed 34hp 175 (27 HD); DR 10/slashing or DR 15/bludgeoning and magic; turn resistance +4Immune ability damage (Str, Dex, Con), ability drain, cold, critical hits, death effects, disease, effects that require Fort saves (unless the effect works on objects or is harmless), electricity, energy drain, fatigue, massive damage, mind-affect effects, nonlethal damage, paralysis, poison, polymorph (although it can use polymorph effects on itself), sleep, stunningResist fire 20Vulnerability fireFort +19, Ref +11, Will +27; -2 against water effects-----Spd 30 ft.

It takes 1 full round for a normal tree to uproot itself. Thereafter it moves at a speed of 10 feet and fights as a treant in all respects. Animated trees lose their ability to move if the treant that animated them is incapacitated or moves out of range. The ability is otherwise similar to liveoak spell (caster level 12th). Animated trees have the same vulnerability to fire that a treant has.Blightfire (Su): 5d6 points of fire damage within 10 ft. Ref 30 half.Contagious Touch (Su): As contagion spell. Fort 24.Damage Reduction (Su): Its natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Double Damage against Objects (Ex): A treant or animated tree that makes a full attack against an object or structure deals double damage.Fear Aura (Su): Liches are shrouded in a dreadful aura of death and evil. Creatures of less than 5 HD in a 60-foot radius that look at the lich must succeed on a DC 26 Will save or be affected as though by a fear spell from a 20th-level sorcerer. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same lich’s aura for 24 hours.Paralyzing Touch (Su): Any living creature a lich hits with its touch attack must succeed on a DC 26 Fortitude save or be permanently paralyzed. Remove paralysis or any spell that can remove a curse can free the victim (see the bestow curse spell description). The effect cannot be dispelled. Anyone paralyzed by a lich seems dead, though a DC 20 Spot check or a DC 15 Heal check reveals that the victim is still alive.Touch Attack (Su): A lich without natural weapons has a touch attack that uses negative energy to deal 1d8+5 points of damage to living creatures; a DC 26 Will save halves the damage. A lich with natural weapons can use its touch attack or its natural weaponry, as it prefers. If it chooses the latter, it deals 1d8+5 points of extra damage on one natural weapon attack.Trample (Ex): Reflex DC 22 half, 2d6+13 damage. The save DC is Strength-based.Unbond (Sp): If within 40 ft. of master and the target creature, this ability temporarily separates a bonded animal or magical beast (such as an animal companion or familiar) from its master. Duration is 9 minutes.[/sblock]</blockquote>
