Viper Vine

Creature 13 — plant

A voracious, flesh-eating carnivore, the viper vine has a single enormous blossom arising from a thick, leafy tangle of snakelike vines. When the plant senses the approach of suitable prey through its sensitive, shallow-buried root system, it rises up like an agitated snake and unfurls its brightly colored bloom, an act that releases a cloud of mind-numbing pollen.

Cold Vulnerability (cold) — When exposed to a cold effect, the viper vine is overwhelmed by lethargy, becoming Slowed 1 for 1d4 rounds.
Captivating Pollen (incapacitation, mental, poison) — The viper vine releases a 60-foot type:emanation of Invisible pollen that stays in the air for 5 rounds unless dispersed by a moderate or stronger wind. Each creature that enters or starts its turn in the area must succeed at a DC 33 Will save or be captivated. The viper vine can't use Captivating Pollen for 1d4 rounds. **Critical Success** The creature is unaffected and is temporarily immune to Captivating Pollen for 24 hours. **Success** The creature is Sickened 1. **Failure** The creature is Fascinated, and it must spend each of its actions to move closer to the viper vine as expediently as possible while avoiding obvious dangers. If a captivated creature is adjacent to the viper vine, it stays still and doesn't act. It ceases to be fascinated if it's no longer in the pollen aura at the end of its turn. **Critical Failure** As failure, plus the creature is Stupefied 2 for 24 hours.
