Axe Vulnerability

An arboreal tar tree takes 10 additional from axes.

Spawn Tar Tree (necromancy, primal)

A living arboreal or animated tree slain by a tar tree's thorny branch Strike rises as a tar tree spawn after 1d4 rounds. This tar tree spawn is under the command of the tar tree that killed it. It doesn't have primal innate spells or the spawn tar tree ability and becomes Clumsy 2 for as long as it's a tar tree spawn. If the creator of the tar tree spawn dies, the tar tree spawn becomes a full-fledged, autonomous tar tree; it regains its free will, gains primal innate spells and the spawn tar tree ability, and is no longer clumsy.

Traits

Rare

This rarity indicates that a rules element is very difficult to find in the game world. A rare feat, spell, item or the like is available to players only if the GM decides to include it in the game, typically through discovery during play. Creatures with this trait are rare. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creatures is increased by 5.

Plant

Vegetable creatures have the plant trait. They are distinct from normal plants. Magical effects with this trait manipulate or conjure plants or plant matter in some way. Those that manipulate plants have no effect in an area with no plants.
