![]() It is very likely that the awakened tree would first have a neutral alignment, and then perhaps shift to another one depending on its own experience and path. Creatures with an Intelligence score could have any alignment. All creatures have alignments, even ones with no intelligence scores (they normally however always default to true neutral / neutral). Unless your character has some special feat, or the tree has some special properties, then no, you (as a player character) cannot apply templates to it.ĥ. It would gain increases to its ability scores when it gains class levels.Ĥ. No, it will not gain increases to ability scores based on its (existing) number of HD. ![]() Yes, it will have feats because it has an Intelligence score. The awakened tree will not be able to gain bonus hit dice of the construct type. However, it does gain skill points (2+Int modifier) for having an Intelligence score. It does not have plant HD, despite being of the plant type. But it will have to earn those class levels, just like player characters or NPCs earn their class levels.ģ. It's the same confusing thing like those human barbarians summoned by a horn of valhalla that are constructs.Ģ. No, the awakened tree still uses the HD and saves from being an animated object/the construct creature type (but its Will save will definitely be higher because it will have a higher Wisdom modifier). No, the awakened tree does not have a Constitution score despite being of the plant type. Once an Instantaneous spell has worked, the magic is gone, so Dispel can no more undo Awaken than it can cure the damage from Fireball.ġ. You're correct - Dispel cannot undo Awaken, nor any other Instantaneous spell. There aren't really rules for any of this since Speak with Plants basically leaves it up to the DM to determine how it works.ħ. An intelligent tree will also be able to make conclusions and follow abstract trails of thought, so it will be more helpful than a regular tree, which might not even understand events on a day to day timescale. An animated object has better senses than a tree (since the default assumption for a creature is that they can see, while none such exists for objects). However, "friendly" is not an alignment but an attitude, which even nonintelligent creatures have.Ħ. Every intelligent creature has an alignment (I would make the trees Neutral Good, like treants, but there are no rules on this). Any acquired (not inherited) template that says it can be put on a plant.ĥ. The attribute scores, however, are not gained because they're part of the creature's existing stats.Ĥ. Feats are a function of HD, so the plant would gain these (the animated object doesn't because it has no Int). If it goes out and adventures, there's no reason an awakened tree (as an intelligent creature) can't gain levels.ģ. It is Plant type so you'll need to adjust HP and saves, yes.Ģ. An awakened tree is a plant with a Constitution nonability. A tree does not have a Constitution score, and Awaken does not grant it one. If I could get a few answers, I'd really appreciate it.ġ. Does Dispel Magic end Awaken? I think because the duration is "Instantaneous" the answer is "No," but I wanted to make 100% sure. How do the answers you would get from speaking with an Awakened plant be different from those you get using "Speak with Plants" on a regular tree? Does one necessarily have a better memory, or clarity of thought? Are there rules for this somewhere?ħ. ![]() The awakened animal or tree is friendly toward you.ĭoes that mean that the tree has an alignment? Can sentient plants HAVE alignments? Or is that restricted to creatures?Ħ. Can I apply templates to it? What templates can I put on a giant plant? Should he have feats and attribute points related to that? I'm not really familiar with the rules behind racial HD.Ĥ. But, does it get "advancement" like a normal character does? As a Gargantuan creature, that's 32HD. Can an awakened tree get class levels? Specifically, I want it to be a Cleric.ģ. Does a tree have a Constitution score? Or, because it's basically a Construct, is that null? It does use the Plant subtype rules and not the Construct ones, right? Meaning the HD and Saves need to be adjusted?Ģ. It's the specifics of how Awaken works that I need clarification with.ġ. The logic, and the lore behind that logic I'm set on. And the way Awakened is worded, the Awakened creature would be friendly to its creator. They can have memory of events from ages long past. Logically, it actually makes a lot of sense. Think the Swamp, in Avatar: The Last Airbender. As a thought experiment, I decided to create a province ruled by a sentient tree.
