Innate manipulation of plants and growth
Start here: Choose an Aspect, set your level and Wisdom score, then open one of its three paths. At level 1, you can spend your 2 points on two rank-I paths. Use Try this Aspect to spend points in the builder; this page previews rules.
2 Mastery Points at this level · Five free basics
1 point total in this path · Earlier ranks required
Manipulate up to 10 pounds of eligible unattended material. Move it up to 10 feet on activation and with each later action, staying within range. Concentration is required while moving it. No automatic creature damage, trained tool work, manufactured wealth, or extra actions. Existing plants only, without uprooting or accelerating edible yield.
Ends: Concentration loss; duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Arrange existing leaves or flowers into up to 5 words within 10 feet. A shared language and clear view are needed. No new plants, edible yield, rare blossoms or damage.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Bend a small living stem harmlessly. Action; touch or within 5 feet, normally no more than 1 pound. No damage, conditions, saleable material, or replacement for trained tool work.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Interpose nearby foliage. When you would take bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage while foliage is within 5 feet, after damage is rolled but before applying it, use your ordinary reaction and 1 Charge to reduce it by 1d4+3, minimum 1, never below 0. Apply before resistance/vulnerability; only one Aspect reduction per event.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Notice a touched plant's distress. Notice relevant exposed phenomena within 5 feet. Does not automatically reveal hidden creatures, intentions, diagnoses, or facts. A stated touch requirement still applies.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Leaf and flower positioning. Action; simple observable signals within 30 feet. No automatic privacy or language comprehension. Explicit willing-touch thought, dream-image, or mood expressions use touch instead of remote signaling.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Plant growth has perceptible rhythms. Descriptive sensory experience only. Grants no immunity, proficiency, compulsory personality, or unstated mechanical benefit.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Proficiency +2; Wisdom modifier +3. Aspect attacks use their sum; saves use 8 + their sum. These are PC level-based examples. NPCs and monsters use their actual proficiency.
3 maximum Charges, restored by a long rest. Pay only the cost printed on the ability. All actions and concentration share your ordinary turn.
Sanctuary Grove: 5 points, one rank-V path and rank II in both others. Natural access begins at level 20; paid ultimate acceleration can permit level 17. One shared annual recovery record and bodily strain apply.
After 1 uninterrupted hour, existing plants within a 100-foot radius grow into permanent mundane shelter and paths. Provides food for twelve creatures for seven days, then ordinary seasonal yield. No instant army or saleable rare plants.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
