A big problem there, is that PoW seemingly has no places for Heart Trees to anchor themselves to.
CR 10 for the Fungal Forge.
This sounds amazing, but Plant-forge (for which we are currently crafting a vote) is capped at 10CR.
This isn't for Plane of Water, this is for Prime Material. Plane of Water just happens to have the plantlife we can use for the research.
That is cute, if nothing else.
I recon, if we find a particular place where PoW borders PoE...
If you want a tree in the PoW we can just grow a giant coral island to serve as the earth.That is cute, if nothing else.
We can have Lya try her hand in crafting fire-spirits next month as a Minor Action.
Giving us isnight as to where look for as further RAs to upgrade said ability, in the process.
I recon, if we find a particular place where PoW borders PoE...
But no, those are too unstable, iirc.
Finding a way to grow HTs on PoA and PoW is hard :C
@DragonParadox, would that be around sufficient for Old Gods?
Coral isn't really earth. They're invertebrates. It's... life.
Well, we've been told that they are wary to go for a Gate connection yet - so we are proving ourselves good customers only for now.
It is, but you can fry the coral. Then it's dead and for all intents and purposes just stone.
Here's an edited version of the chapter, DP.
Here they are, @Deliste. The Umbral Spies finally enter the quest.
I'm a big fan of the Umbral Doggy Spies, DP.
@DragonParadox
Can we modify the spawning effect of Vinespawn so that it just paralyzes and nourishes? Can the effect work on Illithid, they're Aberrations but specifically spawn inside the brain cavity of humanoids.
Red is what should be modified from Templates, would appreciate a double check by @thread.

Vine Net (Ex) A vinespawn can hurl parts of its body up to 30 feet as a ranged attack. Each of these tightly wound balls of vine opens in flight to form a net that can entangle a creature up to one size category larger than the vinespawn. A vinespawn can create one vine net per day for every 4 Hit Dice that it has (normally three per day). Engulf (Ex) As a standard action, a vinespawn can flow over Medium or smaller creatures, entrapping them within its form. The vinespawn simply moves into the opponents' space; any creature whose space it completely covers is subject to the engulf attack. A vinespawn cannot make slam or vine net attacks during a round in which it engulfs. It can engulf as many creatures as can fit in its space.
Opponents can make attacks of opportunity against a vinespawn, but if they do they are not entitled to a saving throw. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity must succeed on a DC 18 Reflex save or be engulfed; on a success, a creature moves aside or back (opponent's choice) to move out of the vinespawn's path. The save DC is Strength-based.
As a swift action, a vinespawn can crush engulfed creatures, dealing 2d6+12 points of nonlethal damage. Engulfed creatures are considered grappled and trapped within the vinespawn's body, but they can attempt to damage the vinespawn or escape from it as with a normal grapple. A vinespawn is not considered to be grappling when it has engulfed a creature, and it cannot be pinned by an engulfed creature.
A creature engulfed by a vinespawn is subject to any area effect to which the vinespawn is subjected. Grappled and engulfed creatures lose any Dexterity bonus to AC but gain a +4 bonus on Reflex saves for having cover. An engulfed creature takes half damage from any attack that deals piercing damage to the vinespawn. This half damage is calculated before the vinespawn's damage reduction is applied to the attack. A vinespawn can choose to expel engulfed creatures as a standard action. If a vinespawn is killed, any engulfed creatures are freed.
Spawning (Ex) As a standard action, a vinespawn can attempt to insert its spawning root down the throat of an engulfed humanoid, monstrous humanoid, or giant. An unconscious engulfed creature cannot resist the spawning root. A vinespawn must succeed on a grapple check to infect any other creature. The engulfed creature takes 1d6+8 points of damage as the thorny appendage burrows into its stomach. The presence of a spawning root prevents talking, the casting of any spells with verbal
components, and other activities requiring speech. Removing a spawning root requires a successful grapple check by the creature invaded by the root, but doing so deals an extra 1d6 points of damage. If the vinespawn is killed, the spawning root can be removed without dealing damage.
A spawning root nourishes an unconscious creature, keeping it breathing while the vinespawn uses periodic swift actions to deal nonlethal damage and keep the target unconscious. If the target creature is left in this state for 1 day, vines grow through its veins. On the fourth day in this state, the victim dies as an adult vinespawn exits the body of its parent.
A vinespawn that is attacked during the spawning process can fight back but cannot move without disengaging its spawning root. Only if reduced to 20 or fewer hit points does it break off, disengaging the vine, dealing damage as above, and fleeing with engulfed creatures in tow.If extracted before the fourth day, the victim is sickened even when returned to consciousness. Such victims die in 2d4 days unless remove disease is used to destroy the vines that can be seen growing beneath their skin.
Aging Vulnerability (Ex)
A quickling takes 50% more damage from aging effects, including the number of years aged.
Speed: Each of the base creature's speeds is quadrupled. If the base creature has a fly speed, its maneuverability increases two categories (maximum perfect)/
Rapid Actions (Ex)
A quickling gains one extra attack or move action each round. This does not stack with other haste effects.
Quickling Casting (Ex)
All spells and spell-like abilities a quickling creature has can be cast as a swift action if it has a casting time of 1 round or less. Those spells and spell-like abilities with longer casting times have their casting times reduced to 1 round and take an attack action to cast. This ability cannot be used with the Quicken Spell or Quicken Spell-Like Ability feats.
Abilities: Dex +8.
Skills:
A quickling creature gains a +4 racial bonus on Perception (Spot & Listen) checks and a +10 racial bonus on Acrobatics (Balance, Jump & Tumble) checks.
Rapid Aging (Ex)
A quickling ages 4 years for every 1 year that passes.
