18.30 Treants

All treants have the animate tree ability.

Animate Tree

Elite action

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The treant animates a tree to fight by its side. The tree must be no larger than the treant, and it must be the same type of tree as the treant.

The tree’s combat statistics are the same as the treant’s, except that the tree’s hit points and injury point are halved and it cannot use elite actions. This ability lasts until the treant dismisses it or uses it again. When this ability ends, the tree sets down roots in its new location if possible. Treants avoid stranding trees in unsustainable locations except in desperate circumstances.
