Description
When thrown, this illusion seed turns into a forest, depending on your learning and natural understanding. Make either an Intelligence (Nature) or Wisdom (Survival) check and see the table below.
Forest Seed:
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| 10 or less | A small copse of leafy trees about 50 feet across appears. A single bird nests there. |
| 11-15 | A grove of pine trees about 500 feet across |
appears with a single path through it that only the user knows or sees. Only a few birds and insects inhabit it.
| 16-19 | A large forest of mixed types of trees about 1 mile across appears with several hollow trees, small ponds, streams, and 1d6 + 1 paths through it that only the user knows or sees. Many birds, small woodland animals, and deer or boar live in it. |
| 20+ | A vast and varied woodland more than 50 miles across appears. It contains rich wildlife appropriate to the climate. A single treant lives in this forest and is friendly to the owner of the seed. |
Fire of any kind can unravel the forest newly created by an illusion seed. While a campfire or even bonfire does little harm, the burning of a whole tree unravels the forest's magic: the trees, paths, and wildlife all turn to smoke and drift away in 10 minutes. This unraveling only happens if the forest is less than 1 month old.
