Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 5726800" data-attributes="member: 57383">It needs to say what area is encompassed by the roots, and I'd move the remove curse bit to before the information about the soul-trapping. As written, it's could be read as saying a remove curse can release a soul once trapped.I'd be inclined to remove the wish/miracle bit.Also, I'm not that fond of calling it "Absorption".Soul Snaring (Su): If a creature's blood spills onto the ground  containing the Tree of Wailing Souls' roots (an area of X feet radius), the Tree connects itself to that creature's soul. A remove curse spell cast on the victim removes this connection with a successful DC 30 caster level check.If a creature dies while connected to the Tree of Wailing Souls, their soul is drawn to the tree and trapped if it is on the same plane as the Tree.  This ability functions as the trap the soul spell (DC 30, saving throw  made on the death of the victim), with the following exceptions: The Tree of Wailing Souls may manifest a trapped soul on one of its fruit as a free action. The Tree can manifest up to twelve such souls simultaneously. The face of the victim will appear on the fruit while the Tree manifests a trapped soul. 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 victim whose soul is trapped in the Tree of Wailing Souls cannot be returned to life  by magic short of an epic spell or divine intervention. If the fruit manifesting a victim's soul is cut off, that frees the  soul and allows either final death or the return of the victim to life  by magical means. [Furthermore, if the Tree is killed all its trapped souls are freed.]The save DCs are Charisma-based.</blockquote>
