Recently been dabbling in bonsai, tinkering with trees, using wire to create form/movement... got me thinking about Vine Leshies. Lol.
Growing a Vine Leshy
Vine leshys grow best in areas where they can receive ample sunlight. After a vine leshy sprouts, the leshy’s creator must use a sturdy tree, trellis, or other support to guide it as it grows.
What are your good builds/characters involving Leshies?
With Vine Leshies, I like to stack the Leshy Warden Druid archetype with Reincarninated Druid... they technically do not stack, since they both alter Wild Shape [but they alter it in pretty much the exact same way]... something about the combination just pleases me. Like how Groot comes back as baby Groot, or whatever.
I like the Lashvine alternative racial feature combined with the Prehensile Whip trait. Had a Lashvine Leshy gestalt Herbalist Alchemist/Vampire Hunter I was pretty proud of until I became painfully aware that plant people are, in fact, NOT safe from becoming Vampires.
Really haven't messed around with the Verdivant Cavalier archetype, but it looks like it could be fun.
What do you guys got for Leshies.

I have a Leshy Warden myself. He uses his gourd familiar to scout. The leshy also has a little bag with a couple of potions in it, in case the druid gets knocked out.
My Reincarnated-Leshy Warden Druid is, herself, a Leshy... a Vine Leshy with the Lashvine alternative racial feature. Vine Leshies may be small, but they do not have a penalty to Strength. She chose the Growth subdomain, for reasons, and her Familiar has the Mauler archetype (also, for reasons). Between the Growth subdomain's Enlarge ability, the Mauler archetype on the Familiar, Share Spells, and the Leshy Warden's ability called Leshy Tender... they are both relatively capable of getting all big and buffed up before entering combat. The Leaf Leshy she gets as a Familiar is the same size as herself [Small]. At level 13, said Leaf Leshy Mauler Familiar is sporting an 18 Strength/19 Dexterity before items, buffs, or enlarging... which isn't great, but also not so bad (for a freaking Leaf Leshy).
My original Vine Leshy, and the reason behind the title of this thread, is a Brewkeeper... he probably needs redone, in all honesty.
Toorg-mai is his name, which is " I am Groot" spelt backwards, and he is a Reincarnated Druid 5/Herbalist Alchemist 10/Brewkeeper 5... Druidic Herbalism, Alchemy/Herbalism, Brewkeeper Homebrews... has his prehensile Lashvine [whip] and Seed Pods for combat. He worships Cayden Cailean, and kind of specializes in brewing potions (and stuff).
I will probably rewrite Toorg-mai to be a gestalt of Reincarnated Druid with Herbalist Alchemist for ten levels, and then give him all ten levels of Brewkeeper. It doesn't actually change THAT much, other than giving him the 7th-level Druidic Herbalism advancement (and higher level Druid spells). I think he will be a better Brewkeeper that way, since that IS his perpetual role/position in life as a reoccurring/legacy NPC...
A suit, a shirt, a tie, and a pair of dress shoes should be the foundation of your business professional Women Lingerie Satin Lace. That's all there is to it. Once you've laid the groundwork,
I think this probably more belongs in the Old Spice Gentleman class discussion
I actually found the Verdivant Cavalier kind of difficult to work with. It just flows different from what I have grown to expect from the class. Anyways, I decided to try VMC Sorcerer for the Verdant Bloodline, and gave the Plant Mount the Verdant archetype available for Animal Companions. It is all very thematic, and some of it could actually even be useful.
I haven't chosen an Order, yet. Thought about Order of the Green, but I'm kind of leaning towards Order of the Blossom for the Fey Enchantment SLA's. Could change the Plant Mount's archetype to Fey-Touched, I suppose, if I wanted to really run with the whole Fey thing. May have to explore what's available a little deeper, though.
This archetype may be best as the back half of a gestalt combination, or on a Cohort/NPC... hopefully someone can prove me wrong, though, and posts an awesome Verdivant Cavalier build.
