Wood Crafting Power

Hunters, scouts, rangers, and survivalists all make great use of Wood Crafting. While wood crafting may lack the spectacle of Fire Crafting or the flash of Wind Crafting, it is one of the most useful kinds of crafting for the laypeople of the world. This often subtle type of fury crafting can make you nearly impossible to detect while out in the wilds. It can let you find and track creatures across incredible distances, and it can make you one of the deadliest archers in the world.

Wood crafters are deeply connected to the plants of their homes. A wood crafter from the rolling grasslands of the high steppes will interact with their furies very differently from a crafter who lives deep in a great forest. All of them, however, have an unparalleled connection to the plants and lands around them.

The bread and butter of most wood crafters in ranged warfare. The ability to use their furies to bend and commune with the wood of their weapons makes them unmatched. Many a great beast, or company of bandits, has been felled by a flurry of impeccably aimed arrows from a wood crafter's bow or crossbow.

Play a Woodcrafter if you want to play a character who is stealthy, deadly at range, and able to control the battlefield with grasping flora of all kinds.

The target must be either a Plant creature with an Intelligence of 3 or less or a natural plant that isn’t a creature. The target gains an Intelligence of 10. If the target is a natural plant, it becomes a Plant creature and gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and it gains senses similar to a human’s. The DM chooses statistics appropriate for the awakened Plant.

The awakened target has the Charmed condition for the duration or until you or your allies deal damage to it. If that condition ends, the awakened creature chooses its attitude toward you.

Bend and Snap

2nd level, Crafting Type: Passive, Range: Self

Your mastery over wood and plant furies lets you get more out of bows and crossbows than any other. You can ben the weapons back farther, and they snap back with more force hurling your projectiles with incredible speed and accuracy, even at great distances.

When using a wooden projectile weapon, such as a bow or crossbow you gain the following benefits:

• Your ranged attacks with qualifying weapons ignore Half Cover and Three-Quarters Cover.
• Being within 5 feet of an enemy doesn’t impose Disadvantage on your attack rolls with qualifying ranged weapons.
• Attacking at long range doesn’t impose Disadvantage on your attack rolls with qualifying ranged weapons.
• You deal an additional 1d6 damage with qualifying ranged weapons.

This power channels vitality through your furies into plants nearby. The manifesting time you use determines whether the power has the Overgrowth or the Enrichment effect below.

Overgrowth: Choose a point within range. All normal plants in a 100-foot-radius Sphere centered on that point become thick and overgrown. A creature moving through that area must spend 4 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. You can exclude one or more areas of any size within the power's area from being affected.

Flora Sanctuary

9th Level, Crafting Type: Active, Manifesting Time: 10 minutes, Range: Self(1/2 mile Emanation), Duration: 24 hours, Prerequisites: 4 Wood Crafting Powers Uses Per Day: 1

Your connection to your fury and all the plants around you is unmatched. You can permenantly empower and protect the plants around you given enough time.

While in a forest or other plant dense area, you create a protective, 1/2 mile radius Emanation centered on yourself. The atmosphere inside the area has the lighting, temperature, and moisture that is most ideal for the flora, regardless of the lighting or weather outside the area. The Emanation is transparent, and creatures and objects can move freely through it.

The Emanation protects the area inside it from storms, strong winds, and floods, including those created by Fury Crafting. Such powers can’t be manifested while the Fury Crafter is in the area. You can create a permanently protected area by manifesting this power at the same location every day for one year.

Flora Whispering

1st level, Crafting Type: Active, Manifesting Time: 1 action, Range: Self, Duration: 1 minute, Prerequisites: None Uses Per Day: 3

You touch a tree or other plant and ask the fury within one question about anything that might have happened in its immediate vicinity (such as "Who passed by here?").

You get a mental sensation of the response, which lasts for the duration of the power. Plants do not have a humanoid's sense of time, so the plant might speak about something that happened last night or a hundred years ago. The sensation you receive might include sight, hearing, vibration, or smell, all from the plant's perspective.

Plants are particularly attentive to anything that might harm the flora and always report such activities when questioned. If you cast manifest this power on a tree or plant that contains a creature that can merge with trees, such as a dryad, you can freely communicate with the merged creature for the duration of the spell.

Forest Born Warrior

For the duration, as long as you are on the same continent as the destination, you know how far it is and in what direction it lies. Whenever you face a choice of paths along the way there, you know which path is the most direct.

Fury House

It can hold as many as nine Medium or smaller creatures. The atmosphere inside the shelter is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside. The shelter’s camouflage provides a modicum of concealment to its inhabitants; a creature outside the shelter has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks to detect or locate a creature within the shelter.

Fury Patrolled Woods

5th Level, Crafting Type: Active, Manifesting Time: 10 minutes, Range: Self(500-foot Emanation), Duration: 24 hours, Prerequisites: 3 Wood Crafting Powers Uses Per Day: 2

You invoke wild furies of flora to transform natural terrain in a 500-foot Emanation into a hunting ground for you and your allies. The area can’t include manufactured structures and if such a structure exists in the area, the power ends. While you are conscious and within the area, you are aware of the presence and direction, though not exact location, of each beast and monstrosity within the area. When a beast or monstrosity tries to leave the area, it must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, it is disoriented, uncertain of its surroundings or direction, and remains within the area for 1 hour. On a success, it leaves the area.

When you manifest this power, you can specify individuals that are helped by the area’s effects. All other creatures in the area are hindered by the area’s effects. You can also specify a password that, when spoken aloud, gives the speaker the benefits of being helped by the area’s effects. Fury Patrolled Woods creates the following effects within the area.

Pack Hunters: A helped creature has advantage on attack rolls against a hindered creature if at least one helped ally is within 5 feet of the hindered creature and the helped ally isn’t incapacitated.

Slaying: Once per turn, when a helped creature hits with any weapon, the weapon deals an extra 1d6 damage of the same type dealt by its weapon to a hindered creature.

Tracking: A helped creature has advantage on Wisdom (Survival) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks against a hindered creature.

You can create a permanent Fury Patrolled Wood by manifesting this power in the same location every day for one year. Structures built in the area after the Fury Patrolled Woods is permanent don’t end the spell.

Grasping Flora

Grasping plants sprout from the ground in a 20-foot square within range. For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into Difficult Terrain. They disappear when the crafting ends.

Each creature (other than you) in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Strength saving throw or have the Restrained condition until the crafting ends. A Restrained creature can take an action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your crafting save DC. On a success, it frees itself from the grasping plants and is no longer Restrained by them.

Your fury empowers and guides your shot, driving towards your target's heart. The next time you make a ranged weapon attack during the power's duration, the weapon's ammunition—or the weapon itself, if it's a thrown weapon—seeks its target’s vital organs. Make the attack roll as normal. On a hit, the weapon deals an extra 6d6 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon, or half as much damage on a miss, as it streaks unerringly toward its target. If this attack reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target has disadvantage on its next death saving throw, and, if it dies, it can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish.

Land Runner

A creature on the trail must succeed on a Wisdom (Survival) check to notice that the trail is leading it in a closed loop.

Mass Awaken Fury

Plant Mantle

1st Level, Crafting Type: Active, Manifesting Time: 1 Action, Range: Self, Duration: 1 Hour, Prerequisites: None Uses Per Day: 3

You take on the physical characteristics of the terrain around you. In a forest, grass and tiny mushrooms sprout in your hair, moss beards your chin, and your flesh takes on the mottled hue of leaf green and bark brown. In an arctic grassland, gray lichens and the various shades of boreal grasses cloak your presence. This effect provides a +2 bonus to Stealth checks in the appropriate terrain.

Quiet Stalking

You take a bundle of 10 pieces of ammunition with wooden shafts such as arrows, javelines, or bolts. You imbue small pieces of your Wood Fury into each piece of ammunition. When you fire one of these pieces of ammunition, it shatters into dozens of sharpened shards, dealing an extra 3d10 piercing damage.

If you miss one of your attacks with an enhanced piece of ammunition, it explodes, destroying itself. At the end of the duration, the shafts of any unused enhanced ammunition break, making it unusable.

Thorn Cage

2nd Level, Crafting Type: Active, Manifesting Time: 1 Action, Range: 40 feet, Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute, Prerequisites: None, Uses Per Day: 2

Your Fury makes thick vines studded with sharp thorns spring from the ground around a target of your choice. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the thorny vines until the power ends. A creature restrained by the vines can use its action to make a Strength check against your Fury Crafting save DC. Doing so causes the creature to take 2d6 piercing damage from the thorns. On a successful check, it frees itself.

Tree Running

2nd Level, Crafting Type: Passive, Range: Self, Prerequisites: None

You gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. This climbing speed functions only while you are in contact with a living plant or fungus that's growing from the ground. You can cling to an appropriate surface with just one hand or with just your feet, leaving your hands free to wield weapons or manifest fury crafting. The plant doesn't give under the your weight, so you can walk on the tiniest of tree branches, stand on a leaf, or run across the waving top of a field of wheat without bending a stalk or touching the ground.

Warp Wood

2nd Level, Crafting Type: Immediate, Manifesting Time: 1 Action, Range: Touch, Duration: Instantaneous, Prerequisites: None, Uses Per Day: 2

You use your furies to cause wood to bend and warp, permanently destroying its straightness, form, and strength. A warped door springs open (or becomes stuck, requiring a Strength check to open). A boat or ship springs a leak. Warped weapons grant disadvantage on attack rolls.

You may warp one 5ft. Cube worth of wood per manifestation of this power. If the objest you are attempting to warp is being wielded, like a weapon or shield, than the wielder can make a Charisma Save against you Fury Cradting DC to resist the effect.

Alternatively, you can unwarp wood (effectively warping it back to normal) with this power, straightening wood that has been warped by this power or by other means.

Wood Working

4th Level, Crafting Type: Active, Manifesting Time: 10 Minutes, Range: Touch, Duration: Permenant, Prerequisites: 2 Wood Crafting Powers Uses Per Day: 2

Choose raw materials within range. You can fabricate a Large or smaller object (contained within a 10-foot Cube or eight connected 5-foot Cubes) given a sufficient quantity of material.

The quality of any fabricated objects is based on the quality of the raw materials. You also can’t use it to create items that require a high degree of skill—such as weapons and armor—unless you have proficiency with the type of Artisan's Tools used to craft such objects.

Woven Wall

6th Level, Crafting Type: Active, Manifesting Time: 1 Action, Range: 60 feet, Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes, Prerequisites: 3 Wood Crafting Powers Uses Per Day: 1

You use the strength and power of your furies to create a wall of tangled brush bristling with needle-sharp thorns. The wall appears within range on a solid surface and lasts for the duration. You choose to make the wall up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick or a circle that has a 20-foot diameter and is up to 20 feet high and 5 feet thick. The wall blocks line of sight.

When the wall appears, each creature in its area makes a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7d8 Piercing damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

A creature can move through the wall, albeit slowly and painfully. For every 1 foot a creature moves through the wall, it must spend 4 feet of movement. Furthermore, the first time a creature enters a space in the wall on a turn or ends its turn there, the creature makes a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7d8 Slashing damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature makes this save only once per turn.
