Bob? Really, ATHATH? At least make some small modification to it. Beub? Broeb? Banu-Ober-Bygt?

Is it your character? No? Then leave it between the GM and the player. I personally like the contrast between the plain name and strange abilities, but that's besides the point that you shouldn't criticize what he calls his character.

Edit: Damn copy paste errors. Part of that was for a different post on another forum.

[Supernerd]

I dunno. Its seems a bit less silly than Leaf Vinehead if you ask me.

I am a bit more concerned about the skill mentioning rolling a D2. Dice don't really work with less than four sides. I guess that would be more like flipping a coin? Honestly all the skill description for Inevitable Decay needs is its first sentence without the brackets.

Also, Growth would probably be a temporary thing if you want it to ignore the Square Cubed law.

Appearance:   A vaguely humanoiid shape of ivy, brambles, and lichen.
Skillset (Combat):  Infection
Skillset (Non Combat):  Investigation
Skillset (Nature): Decay (Death is a natural part of life.)
Skillset (Locked):(will add later)
Abilities:
 Hungry Ivy:  An enemy  targeted by this ability takes cumulative damage every round(multiplied by a factor of 1.5), and has a chance of spreading the Ivy upon contact. If the target dies while affected by this ability, the ivy uses their life force to feed the tree, increasing its Mana production by one.
Greensight: Allows for Thorn to 'see'  through any plant within a 1/2 mile radius of the tree.
To Its Roots: Any object made from plant matter (cords, staffs, arrowheads,etc.) will transform into  fungus clusters upon contact with Thorn.

I edited my character again... Anyways please tell that Disguise Self is a non-combat ability for all that their is in the world. As well, can eventually with upgrades can I change my Shadow/Illusion abilities to have some form of mind control; When I was expressed information about Shadow abilities, it's a reference to both dark/corruption powers and also mental discord stuff. Since y'know I designed my character after the warlock archetype, if Witheredlock didn't already give it away.

Also you should of given the poll the ability to view results without having a requirement to vote since I really don't care what tree we have, a minor nitpick I know. Also why is everyone choosing Decay as their Nature ability, ATHATH than Mardent :-( . The only thing I can say is that imitation is the best form of flattery.

Name: Antler
Appearance: dark green leathery skin, with long straight vertical ridges, with bunches straight, needle-like thorns dotted along the ridges. Also bright pink flowers on top of his head.

A cactus. He looks like a cactus.
Skillset (Combat): Thorns
Skillset (Non Combat): Survival
Skillset (Nature): Rejuvenation
Skillset (Locked): TBD
Abilities:
Morningstar. Antler throws himself at the enemy, rolling himself into a ball, who then gets hit by a spiky ball of fury.

Regeneration. As long as he has access to water, Antler can regenerate lost limbs. (amount that needs to be remaining can be decided by gm)

Oasis. Antler can quickly grow native wild shrubs in an area around him. These are real plants, and therefore as permanent as normal plants would be, but he cannot chose which plants they will be.

*note, I do not do well with P.M.s, so I might need to be reminded in-thread if there is something...

Spoiler: character (click to show/hide)

Name: Nute

Appearance: Bright eyes, long slender tail, sucker-feet, variable complexion... Proud to resemble geckoes everywhere!
Skillsets:
combat style: Noxious Breath: Your sensitivity and exposure to all manner of chemical is a bad thing... in this instance, for your enemies!
non-combat: Farming: Well, not what those annoying civilised folk think of, but you know how to nurture the parts of your surroundings that you like!
nature: Alchemy: Nature is full of good stuff! And bad stuff too! And loads that prefer weird, variable, curious, and, of course, ugly! You know how to mix these together for Fun!.
The fourth one::

Abilities:
Stink-mouth: Just like skink-mouth, but in aerosol form! Unpleasant odours can have all manner of fun effects, from a mild cough to passing out from the pain!
Best-bush: Everyone has that one plant they knew through their childhood, told all their secrets to, spent their afternoons with, idly conversed with, Ignored when it said utter garbage like "normal people know someone, anyone, anyone at all, of their own species. Don't you even feel lonely?"... You wouldn't want it to be sad, so help it grow, thrive, and mutate! Or dump it when it finds other people to spend all its time hanging-out with and go find a new best-bush that is cooler and better-smelling and provides more shade than the old one ever did!
Compost: One of the simplest things to do in alchemy is kill people. most anything will kill someone if it goes into the wrong part. Those civilised pests waste all their time sticking clean metal in one another's most precious parts when the right twig in a finger would off them with half the effort... But you gotta actually get it into them, so you focus on dragging them into a heap and melting them down into a nice mush with which to nurture your better half...

Disguise Self does indeed qualify as a non-combat ability. As for mind control stuff, it would be quite a stretch for it to fall under "Shadow" or "Illusion" in my opinion. It is not too late to pick different skillsets.

For Thorn... The Hungry Ivy would have to suffer from diminishing returns at a certain point. I'll also take the time to remind players that abilities are unable to directly affect the tree in a beneficial manner. (Soil enrichment would be indirect enough to be acceptable)

For Nute... While amusing, I do not actually understand what the Best-bush ability is supposed to actually do.

For Antler... I don't see an actual problem, but I'll caution that the Oasis ability will probably have some adverse effects on soil quality or something if used too often. Individual limbs probably will not be a major thing in this game, but healing based on water consumption is acceptable.

If I didn't mention you, then it probably means I don't see a problem with you.

[Mardent23]

Alright. The Ivy uses the enemy's life force to feed the growth of the surrounding forest.

[RAM]

Best-bush is similar to a witch's-familiar, except it is a plant instead of a cat, and instead of spying and delivering curses to doorsteps and whatever else, it, kind of just grows... You have a cute-little pet plant that you focus your attention on and can augment to suit your needs. For the moment it just improves morale and fatigue recovery by being cute and spreading those pretty little leaves around the place and letting me curl up around it when I feel sleepy. In time it would work to enhance alchemy by providing custom ingredients(But Sweet Snugglkins wouldn't make anything nasty!) or act as support for a wounded tree or something. Mostly it is just a pet plant, the mystical bond aspect normally associated with a familiar is there, but very weak...

[Supernerd]

A plant familiar for a Dryad. Ok, I'm sold on that.

[Mardent23]

Yup. I need my little Ivy Crawler.

[Andres]

I'm confused about the fourth skillset. Is it something we have to PM? Is it even player choice?

[RAM]

I P.M.ed one, if I don't get it I won't complain but I think it is a P.M. thing and P.M.ing one shouldn't hurt...

[Rose]

I pmed one as well. I assumed it's a player choice, but not one that the others know about.
