TreeQuest: Magitech (Riot Quest)

The Ballad of Arthur Scrat

Listen close, trees, boys and girls
As I tell the tale of an excellent squirrel!

Some tree like beavers and some trees like bats,
But when the forest needs some helpin' it calls Arthur Scrat!

Now it's true that Arthur Scrat only weighs a pound,
But a more courageous rodent shall ne'er be found!

He rides into battle on his faithful deer,
He holds on with his paws and has a tail to steer.

And when they see him charging with his magic blade,
why even slimy monsters run, 'cause they're afraid...
 
A fractional auto-success would skip the die-roll portion of the calculation, and get added to the success total the same way as any other form of auto-success. Then that would get multiplied by the modifier (if any).

You could pick the 4s as desired.

I think I'll take the 4/4/3/3/3/0 spread, with the 4s assigned to Offense and Communication. Name it something like an "Action Tree" or "Aggressive Tree" or something along a similar mindset (unless you've got better ideas or preferences).

Most interesting vote is yet another survival action, at least it's not more landscaping?

@Prime 2.0, as a Mind Tree with mostly Communication but a handful of others, you are eligible for Elder Mind Tree, Communication Tree, Eldest Tree (with any non-Communication vote this round), or possibly a dual-specialty (with temporary penalties) if desired.
Comms tree. People will think I'm smarter if I talk louder.
 
Maybe once we got more trees, especially animated ones. Like animated vines or roots.
Some of your Trees can move a bit. Not quickly, and most of them can't move very much, but still. You're a ways off from replicating the Last March of the Ents, but something like Old Man Willow is feasible. (Both Lord of the Rings references; the second is missing from the movies and thus relatively obscure.)

Until we can recreate horror tropes with Entangling Vines or Roots or at least move like that Harry Potter's tree, I got nothing for now. Maybe creating natural traps? Eh.
 
Maybe creating natural traps?
But that's what you've just been doing, with Dangerous Terrain! It just required a bit of squirrel help along the way...

On the other hand, I now really want to see this Forest go full Horror Movie against an invasion. Maybe not quite Darkwood level, but still!

Nah, like strong vines that can be triggered like Venus trap, or toxins booby traps, or bent branch that whip things if triggered, or weirder things like hollow trees that create weird voices from the wind.

Watch someone decided to research further into throwing things and recreate Plant vs Zombies but bigger
 
Ooh something exciting (and dangerous) is happening, this might finally be time for me to do something other than resource gathering, alright what's the tally ?

You know...can I just go full Riot mode and try something that really not available? I really want to practice moving so can unlock better locomotion to entangle someone with vine or just recreating my favourite chinese cartoon.

Definitely not. Write-in votes lead to anarchy and cannibalism, and should never be done.

You're welcome to try. If you choose to do so, I'll roll some hidden dice for it, and give you the result.

Whelp, I know what project I'm joining in on next!
