#5E AWAKEN CONSTRUCT HOW TO#
The Counci's research of the civilized world (directly and through its awakened, shapechanged agents) has brought them much information about the destructiveness of man.and also solutions as to how to fight back. The sailors returned to civilization to tell tales of the mysterious island to the East, where both animals and trees thought and fought as if men. The animals and trees welcomed those who resembled the one who had made their haven possible, but the ignorant sailors who found the island hunted for food for their journeys, and were driven back by the island inhabitants. They, in time and in turn, granted awareness to some of the animals of the forest.bringing them into a society ruled by the Green Council, each day's food created by powerful magics.Īs decades passed, the island became a great druidic haven, but still unknown to man.ġ000 years ago, Man came.and he was not ready for what he found. First, it made other Aspen and a few other mighty trees as self aware as it was, forming the Green Council, each a druid, cleric or mage in its own right.
Eventually, the Aspen grew enough in power that it began to experiment with Awaken itself. He trained it in the ways of the druids.Įventually, death found the druid, but his greatest student lived on. At some point, he chose to cast Awaken upon one of the aspen.and the entire grove came to life! He had forgotten that Aspen spread by runners.the entire grove was actually one plant- and now it had a mind equal to his own. One of the largest organisms on Earth is an Aspen grove in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains that has 41,000+ trunks.ĥ000 years ago, a druid (whose name is lost to humanity.) of great power picked a large and remote island devoid of human life as his home, choosing a grove of aspen trees his most sacred space. Here's an interesting fact: Aspen Trees are a clonal species- they can spread by runners. It never actually seemed to hit anything, though. It got as many HD as I had and did 1d4 damage per Hit Die. In a related case, back in 2e, we misread the Giant Insect spell. So long as it didn't break any trees, he couldn't care less.
#5E AWAKEN CONSTRUCT PC#
The PC best suited to stopping it, mine, didn't want to intervene. At a higher level I cast it again, and "The Bloody" went on to take control of a horde of horses and would randomly wander our kingdom, killing at random. Awaken basically charms the target, but if you cast it again the "charm" effect on the first target ends. Most of the party was terrified if I were to cast Awaken again. The horse rolled high Int but took levels in barbarian. By this point we'd decided to nerf the horse into a normal horse. At a certain point, the player retooled his PC as a magus, though the concept remained the same (eg high Charisma, schemer, only evil PC in the group, etc).
We joked that the horse was more badass than he was and gave it the nickname "the Bloody". As a cavalier, he got a special horse (more HD, better stats, etc). We had a PC in our Kingmaker campaign, a cavalier/bard.
