If you can cause Fatigueat normal range, reduce the effective rank to two-thirds yourPlant Control rank.• Insect Control: You can emit certain scents that attractand influence the behavior of insects, giving you a SummonInsect Swarm effect at your Plant Control rank. Once you stopmaintaining this effect, any swarm disperses, effectively disap-pearing as it breaks up into its component creatures.• Nauseate: Your touch can carry a plant toxin or allergen thatinduces illness like a Nauseate effect at your power rank. If youcan induce Nausea at normal range, reduce the effective rankto two-thirds your Plant Control rank.• Plant Growth: You can stimulate the growth of plants, caus-ing them to grow even greater than their normal mature size.This is a Growth effect (see Growth in the previous chapter)with Affects Others (+0), Limited to Plants (–1), and Permanentin duration (+0), since the enlarged plants remain that way.Apply ranks of Growth equal to your Plant Control rank, soPlant Control 12, for example, can increase a plant’s size cat-egory by three, turning a small sapling into a huge tree, forexample.• Plant Perception: You can sense things occurring near liv-ing plants like an ESP effect at two-thirds your Plant Control power rank (see ESP in the previous chapter for details).• Stun: Either by using a plant-based toxin or influencing intes-tinal flora, you can stun a creature by touch like a Stun effect at your Plant Control rank. If you can stun at normal range, reduce effective rank to two-thirds of your Plant Control Rank.• Transform: You can turn one type of plant into another, a sustained Transform effect at half your Plant Control rank. Transformed plants revert to normal over time (assume a save bonus of +0 against the lasting effect).• Transmit: You can transport yourself by stepping “into” a plant large enough to accommodate your body and stepping out of a similar plant at your destination like the Transmit power at your Plant Control power rank. Alternately, if you have a Plant Form body (see Associated Effects, following) you may be able to abandon your current plant form and grow a new one elsewhere at your destination; the same effect, but with different descriptors.ASSOCIATED EFFECTS• Photosynthesis: Your skin is tinged green with chlorophyll, allowing you to photosynthesize food from water and sun-light. You have the benefits of Immunity 1 (starvation).• Plant Form: The ability to control plants may come from being a plant, or at least having the ability to turn into one! You have the Alternate Form power, either allowing you to change from flesh-and-blood to mobile vegetation or a permanent version for mobile, intelligent plant creatures (see Alternate Form for details).• Protection: Your skin is covered with tough bark-like armor, giving you a Protection effect.• Speak With Plants: You can communicate with ordinary plants, learning what they know and “speaking” to them in return (see the Comprehend effect in the previous chapter for details).• Strike: You have tough wooden limbs, perhaps covered with sharp thorns or spikes, giving you a Damage effect that enhances your unarmed attacks. If the benefits stack with your normal Strength, apply the Mighty power feat as well (see Damage in the previous chapter for details).• Super-Movement: Super-Movement effects appropriate for plant-controllers include permeate (through plants, wood, or natural earth), slithering (vine-like along the ground), swinging (via hanging vines), sure-footed (via roots and the ability to move through undergrowth), and trackless.[/sblock]Fenris, I really like your background as well.  Now, turn back to stone every night and you can be an Angel-Gargoyle <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  I'm waiting to see how you stat out the sword.  I hope you kept True Sight- that's such a flavorful ability.</blockquote>
