I wish there was a PC race of little plant people.


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Not much to it just kinda complaining really. The two plant people we have are both lumbering brutes which disappoints me. Oh well. :/


Wait, when did Ghoran become lumbering brutes?


Listen to what the flower people say...


1 person marked this as a favorite.

You can find stats for vegepygmies in Wayfinder #8

Not official Paizo, but Paizo Fans United....

Vegepygmies are small plant people and are very cool, though I guess not all GMs would let them be PCs.

Wyrwood could easily be reflavored as living plant people, rather than carved wood construct people.

Or, if you're the DM or if you have DM approval, just use the race builder rules to create your little plant people. They probably wouldn't have a lot of over-the-top abilities, so there'd be no particular reason to disallow them.

I mean... it's not like you're asking to play Groot. <g>

The closests thing we have is the leshy warden druid archetype and Treesinger druid Archetype that would allow you to wildshape into a leshy.

Other than that, I would beg my Respected GM to have a character with the Leshy subtype.


I don't know if you are just looking for "official" stuff. But here is a race from my homebrew:

En'tarie
Racial Alignment: CG
Stat Adjustments: +2 con, +2 Chr, -2 Int

Natural Armor: +2
Size: small or medium
Speed 30'

Skills: +1 Climb, +2 Knowledge Nature, +1 Survival

SA:
Photosynthesis: Do not need to eat daily but must spend 1 hour per day under natural light or start to suffer from starvation
Thorns: The hand of En'Tarie sport small thorns that inflict 1d4 points of damage if used as a weapon. Their unarmed strikes always do lethal damage.
Seasonal Pollen: During the spring, summer or fall (choosen at character creation) the En'Tarie gains a pollen attack usable 1/day as the Glitterdust spell. During this time they leave a light dusting of pollen in their wake giving creature a +2 to track them and imposing a -2 penalty on stealth checks.
Berries: In the season following the Pollen season the En'tarie produces berries in their crown. Enough berries are produced each week to provide an effect when eaten equal to one goodberry spell +1 per 3 levels

Vision: Normal, Low light penalty: -4 perception in low light or darkness
Weapon Familiarity: Whip, Spiked Chain
Favored Classes: Druid, Ranger

Appearance: Generally smaller then humans with proportionate weight and pointed ears. Skin tone tends towards green and brown hues. Other exotic colors possible but rare.
Eyecolor is green. En'Tarie lack hair but have growths on their heads that take many forms. Some are vine like crowns or branch like horns. Many sport small leaves and buds while some have larger hair like fronds.

Starting Age: 100+2d20yrs
Middle Age: 200
Old: 500
Venerable: 900
Max: 800+ 4d100 yrs

Height: S: 3'8" + 1d12"
M: 4'6" + 1d12"
Weight: S: 40 + 2d20 lbs
M: 80 + 1d20 lbs


Vegepygmies aren't lumbering brutes. And they arguably work pretty well as a race.

Small
Plant traits
+4 Dex, +2 Con, -2 Int
+4 Stealth (+8 in vegetation)
Languages: Undercommon, Vegepygmy (cannot speak)
DR 5/bludgeoning or slashing
Immune to electricity
+3 natural armor
Claw/claw 1d4
Low-light vision
Darkvision

Could probably work as an (effectively) Level Adjustment +1 race. Not exactly a base race, though.


follow your dreams OP
use the race creation rules


I could play cactuar. :)


A buddy of mine created this:

I don't know, but I know who would.


I don't have much to add except that I, too, yearn for a race of little plant people. They shall be cute, delicious and stalwart.

To the race builder!
