Ability

Forest Guardian

A waldgeist is compelled to investigate the sound of wood or trees being damaged, such as by being burned or chopped down. A waldgeist that hears such a sound must succeed at a DC 26 Will save or spend all their actions moving toward the sound until they identify the cause. This can't be used to compel a waldgeist to leave their bonded woodland. A waldgeist that succeeds at their saving throw is temporarily immune for 10 minutes.

 

Ability

Lignify

(incapacitation, primal, transmutation) The touch of a waldgeist transforms flesh into wood. A living creature damaged by the waldgeist's lignifying hand Strike must succeed at a DC 24 Fortitude save or become slowed 1 (or slowed 2 on a critical failure). Further failed saves against lignify increases the slowed condition. Once a creature's actions are reduced to 0 by lignify, that creature becomes petrified, except they're transformed into wood instead of stone.

 

Ability

Possess Tree

branch (reach 15 feet) +20, Damage 2d12+9 bludgeoning. While a waldgeist possesses a tree, any damage that would be dealt to the waldgeist is instead dealt to the tree. The tree has 60 Hit Points. When the tree is reduced to 0 Hit Points, the waldgeist is immediately ejected, and the tree is destroyed.

 

Ability

Primal Innate Spells

DC 24, attack +16; 5th tree stride; 3rd wall of thorns; 2nd entangle (at will); Cantrips (4th) tanglefoot; Constant (4th) speak with plants

 

Ability

Woodland Dependent

A waldgeist is mystically bonded to a single forest, jungle, orchard, grove, or other similar large, wooded area and must remain within it. If the waldgeist moves outside their bonded woodland, they're immediately destroyed.

 

Offense

Melee

Circumstance: combat round (melee)

lignifying hand +18 [+13/+8] (finesse, magical), Damage 2d8+7 negative plus lignify

 

Trait

Incorporeal

An incorporeal creature or object has no physical form. It can pass through solid objects, including walls. When inside an object, an incorporeal creature can't perceive, attack, or interact with anything outside the object, and if it starts its turn in an object, it is slowed 1. Corporeal creatures can pass through an incorporeal creature, but they can't end their movement in its space. An incorporeal creature can't attempt Strength-based checks against physical creatures or objects—only against incorporeal ones—unless those objects have the ghost touch property rune. Likewise, a corporeal creature can't attempt Strength-based checks against incorporeal creatures or objects. Incorporeal creatures usually have immunity to effects or conditions that require a physical body, like disease, poison, and precision damage. They usually have resistance against all damage (except force damage and damage from Strikes with the ghost touch property rune), with double the resistance against non-magical damage.

 

Trait

Spirit

Spirits are ephemeral creatures defined by their spiritual self and often lacking a physical form.

 

Trait

Undead

Once living, these creatures were infused after death with negative energy and soul-corrupting evil magic. When reduced to 0 Hit Points, an undead creature is destroyed. Undead creatures are damaged by positive energy, are healed by negative energy, and don't benefit from healing effects.
