Abilities

Constant Spells — Constant Spells
Verdant Burst (healing, primal, vitality) — When a leaf leshy dies, a burst of primal energy explodes from their body, restoring 1d4 healing{1d4 Hit Points} to each plant creature in a 30-foot emanation. This area is filled with tree saplings, becoming difficult terrain. If the terrain is not a viable environment for these trees, they wither after 24 hours.
Change Shape (concentrate, polymorph, primal) — The leaf leshy transforms into a Small tree. This ability otherwise uses the effects of One with Plants. Change Shape
Deafening Blow — When a leaf leshy hits with their seedpod Strike, the pod explodes loudly. The target must attempt a DC 16 Fortitude save. **Critical Success** The target is unaffected and temporarily immune for 24 hours. **Success** The target is unaffected. **Failure** The target is Deafened for 1 round. **Critical Failure** The target is deafened for 1 minute.
Glide (move) — The leshy glides gently through the air, moving 5 feet toward the ground and up to 25 feet forward. As long as the leshy spends at least 1 action gliding each round, they remain in the air at the end of each turn. For the purpose of determining damage from falls, a leaf leshy always treats falls as if they were 20 feet shorter.
