Abilities

Guardian Thorns (primal) — Bolan compels plant-based materials within 10-foot emanation{10 feet} of him to grow sharp thorns and spiky branches. This ability affects all walls, floors, and large objects made from dead organic material, such as wood. Affected areas become difficult terrain. Non-fey and non-plant creatures in the affected area or those who move through an affected square take 2d10 piercing (DC 18 Reflex). This ability does not affect stone, dirt, living plants, or other materials. The effect ends when Bolan moves out of his square.
Item Treachery (primal) — Bolan targets a held item (such as a bow stave, wooden shield, or scroll) within 60 feet composed, at least partially, of wood, cotton, or other dead plant matter. The plant-based part of this item animates and attempts to wriggle free of its holder's grasp. The holder must attempt a DC 18 Reflex save.

Success The creature holds onto the item with no ill effect.

Failure The creature struggles to hold onto the item. Until the start of the creature's next turn, attempts to Disarm the creature of that item gain a +2 circumstance bonus, and the creature takes a –2 circumstance penalty to attacks with the item or other checks requiring a firm grasp on the item.

Critical Failure The creature drops the item into the creature's space or drops the object in an adjacent square of Bolan's choice, at which point the item returns to normal.
Vengeful Fibers (primal) — A piece of clothing animates and attacks its wearer at Bolan's command. Bolan targets a creature within 60 feet wearing clothing made from plants, such as cotton, hemp, or grass. The clothing chokes its wearer, restricts their movement, and abrades their skin. The target takes 2d10 bludgeoning (DC 18 Fortitude). A creature that takes damage in this way is also Off-Guard and takes a –10-foot circumstance penalty to Speed until the beginning of Bolan's next turn.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA frontline body can stand within the thorn-choked terrain and absorb hits while the control effects whittle down the rest of the party.
CrasherLANDA heavy melee striker punishes targets already stripped of a functioning weapon or pinned in hazardous terrain.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker keeps pressure on targets that the terrain effect prevents from closing the distance.

PUNISHES

✖ weapon reliance✖ clumping near terrain✖ overextension
Avoid pairing with another terrain-control specialist; overlapping hazard zones do not compound and just clutter the same battlefield.
