Re�ex, and +30 Fortitude. It persists for 1 minute or

failure). This is a poison e�ect.

stalk grows at the target location. While the stalk
persists, each round at the end of your turn,
sharp stakes erupt from the ground, dealing 6d8
piercing damage to all creatures in a 20-foot
burst centered on the plant except you (basic
Re�ex)
• Tree of Life A large tree bearing life-giving fruit
grows at the target location. While the tree
persists, living creatures within reach of the tree
can use an Interact action to pick and eat one of
the tree’s fruits, regaining 2d8+5 Hit Points;
picking a fruit without eating it causes the fruit
to instantly vanish. This is a healing e�ect, and a
given creature can heal from the tree only once
per round.
