[QUOTE="freyar, post: 5726312, member: 40227"] Anyone else just notice that DC 30 is actually the same as Cha-based? That worked out so well. :D Oh, I thought the racial bonus on Intimidate would be part of the Soul Absorption ability, as so: Soul Absorption (Su): If a creature's blood spills onto the ground containing the Tree of Wailing Souls's roots, that creature's soul is absorbed by the Tree upon death if it is on the same plane as the Tree. This ability functions as the trap the soul spell (DC 30, saving throw made at the death of the victim), with the following exceptions: The Tree of Wailing Souls may manifest a vision of any victim's head upon one of its fruit. While that head is manifested, the Tree gains a +12 racial bonus on Intimidate checks against all creatures who are familiar with that victim. In addition, the Tree may cast any spells known to that victim while its head is manifested, even if those spells are not on the sorcerer/wizard or cleric spell lists in the SRD. A remove curse spell cast on the victim removes the connection between the victim and the Tree with a successful DC 30 caster level check. While a victim's soul is absorbed, the victim cannot be returned to life by magic short of divine intervention (or a wish/miracle??); however, if the fruit manifesting the victim's head is cut off, that frees the soul and allows either final death or the return of the victim to life by magical means. Anything about Outsiders??? The save DCs are Charisma-based. Whew, that's a bit more complete, at least if you like it. Take a look at the ? marks. [/QUOTE]
