Send In The Clowns… (or, Converting the Oddballs)

[freyar]

I'm for assassin vine camouflage here. I don't know, Disguise just seems a little weird, and I don't see these getting better at Disguising themselves if they advance. Besides, a fixed DC is likely to be better if we bump the one from the vine.

DR 5 I think.

Agreed to DR 5 and a high DC on that camouflage.

 

[freyar]

DC 25? or 27?

Sounds good.

2 ft diameter, 4500 lb like a treant?

 

[Shade]

How about a bit lighter, since treants are generally considered oak, and spruce is a lighter wood? Maybe 4,000 pounds?

Listen +6, Spot +5?

 

[freyar]

That works for me.

Here's some info on spruces:
Spruce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The most shocking revelation: spruce beer!

Environment: Temperate or cold forests?

Organization: Solitary or grove (2-4)?

Alignment: Usually neutral evil?

 

[demiurge1138]

Like grove, NE and environment.

Challenge Rating: 8? They have 1 more HD than treants, and the poison and additional attacks seems to offset the advantage of animate trees and the treant's better DR.

Treasure: Standard?

Advancement: 9–16 HD (Huge); 17–24 HD (Gargantuan)?
