Campaign Design - Sorcerer Heritages: Verdant

Verdant

The divine Syfa has blessed your bloodline. Your heritage is infused with raw plant life, giving you innate communion with nature.

Heritage Arcana: Whenever you cast a spell with a range of personal, your skin toughens, granting you a natural armor bonus equal to the spell’s level for 1d4 rounds. This bonus does not stack with any other natural armor bonuses you might have.

Heritage Powers: The power of living things infuses every aspect of your magic, as you draw power from nature and its life energies flow through you.

• Tanglevine (Sp): At 1^st level, as a standard action, you can create a 15-foot-long, animated vine that springs from your hand. This vine lasts for 1 round and can be used to make a single disarm or trip attack, using your sorcerer level plus your Charisma modifier in place of your normal base attack bonus.


• Photosynthesis (Ex): At 3^rd level, you feed upon nature’s raw essence. Your need to eat and sleep is reduced as if wearing a ring of sustenance, and you gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws made against poison and sleep effects. At 9^th level, these bonuses increase to +4.


• Massmorph (Sp): At 9^th level, as a full-round action, you can alter the size and health of plant life, as if using plant growth or diminish plants. Alternatively, you can transform one willing non-plant creature per sorcerer level (no two of which can be more than 30 feet apart) as tree shape. You may transform creatures as polymorph at 15^th level, or shapechange at 20^th level, but only into plant creatures. You can transform non-plant creatures using this power once per day.


• Rooting (Ex): At 15^th level, as a move action, you can extend roots into the ground. Your speed is reduced to 5 feet, but you gain a +4 bonus to natural armor and a +10 bonus to your base attack bonus against bull rush, overrun, and trip attacks. You also gain tremorsense 30 feet and fast healing 1. You can use this power for a number of minutes per day equal to your sorcerer level. This duration need not be consecutive, but it must be used in 1-minute increments.


• Shepherd of the Trees (Su): At 20^th level, your verdant heritage fully manifests. You gain a +4 natural armor bonus. You gain immunity to paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep, and stunning, and you gain tremorsense 30 feet even when not rooted.
