Plant Magic
Sprout Tree
2nd-level transmutation
- Classes: Druid
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
Targeting a 5-foot square on the ground that you can see within range, you cause a tree to sprout from the ground, growing rapidly to 20 feet tall with a 2-foot-radius trunk. This spell can only target a surface through with a tree could grow (for example, you can't target solid rock). At the DMs discretion, it can burst through up to 6 inches of most material.
A Large or smaller creature in this space must make a Dexerity saving throw. On a failure, they are lifted 20 feet into the air in the branches of the tree. On a success, they move 5 feet to an occupied space of their choice (if there is no space they can move, they automatically fail). A Large or smaller creature can choose to fail their saving throw. A Huge or large creature automatically succeeds on their save. The tree stops growing if it would hit a ceiling or other object when growing.
The tree provides as half cover to any creature within its branches, and three-quarters cover from effects originating on the other side of its trunk. The tree has an AC 13 and 50 hit points.
The tree remains there, but may die rapidly if sprouted in an unsuitable location or environment. Its wood is flammable only when dried, and serves no useful purpose other than firewood.
Bramble Binding
1st-level transmutation
- Classes: Druid, Ranger
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
Brambles burst from your hand, lashing out at a target within range. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On failure, they take 4d4 piercing damage and, if the target is Large or smaller, it becomes entangled by brambles. While entangled by brambles, it can't move, but it can free itself as as an action (taking no additional damage) or rip itself free using half of its movement and taking an additional 2d4 piecing damage. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and aren't entangled by brambles.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, both the initial damage and the damage taken ripping free of the brambles increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 1st.
Grasping Roots
1st-level transmutation
- Classes: Druid, Ranger
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
A twisting burst of roots launch from your hand, reaching to grab a Large or smaller target. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On success, the target is moved 5 feet in a direction of your choice. On a failure, the target is moved 20 feet in a direction of your choice. A creature can choose to fail this save.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you move a creature an additional 5 feet for each slot level above 1st.
Bramble Barrier
3rd-level transmutation
- Classes: Druid, Ranger
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
You create a line of low brambles that erupts from a point you can see within range. This line is 30 feet long and 5 feet wide, made of up of six 5-foot squares of brambles. Each patch much connect to another patch and be placed on the ground. The bramble patches are difficult terrain and a creature that enters a square of brambles takes 4d4 piecing damage and must make a Constitution saving throw. On failure, their speed becomes 0 until the end of their turn.
The brambles wither and die after 1 day if the area isn't suitable for them to grow. Each 5-foot-square portion of brambles requires at least 1 minute to clear by hand, or can be cleared if they take 5 or more fire damage. The brambles crumble to dust immediately if you cast this spell again.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can create two additional 5-foot squares of brambles for each slot level above 3rd.
Carnivorous Garden
4th-level trasmutation
- Classes: Druid
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a short length of green pipe)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Targeting four unoccupied spaces that you can see within range, rooted carnivorous plants erupt from the ground, filling a 5-foot cube each. The ground within 5 feet of them becomes difficult terrain. When the plants appear, they each attack a creature of your choice within 5 feet of them. Make a melee spell attack, dealing 2d8 piercing damage on hit. Make a separate attack roll for each plant.
If a creature ends their turn within 5 feet of one or more of the carnivorous plants, they automatically attack that creature unless you use your reaction to prevent them from doing so. The plants use your spell attack modifier, and deal 2d8 piercing damage on hit.
The plants have AC 14 and 30 hit points, and have vulnerability to fire and slashing damage. Each plant regains all its hit points at the start of your turn if it has at least 1 hit point. A plant dies if it is reduced to zero hit points. When the spell ends, the plants wither and die leaving behind difficult terrain unless they were killed be fire damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can summon 1 additional carnivorous plant for each slot level above 4th.
Summon Plant
3rd-level conjuration
- Classes: Druid
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 90 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a carved wooden figurine worth at least 300 gp)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You call forth a magical plant. It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This corporeal form uses the Plant Spirit stat block. When you cast the spell, choose one of: Dryad, Shambling Mound, or Treant. The creature resembles the creature of your choice, which determines certain traits in its stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The creature is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don't issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell's level appears in the stat block.
