Uniquely vampiric plants with a hungering cunning, [[bloodoaks]] form through dark rituals when plant matter absorbs animal blood. The rituals that create these horrors are relatively easy to learn and implement, so cultists and unscrupulous mages often use bloodoaks as bodyguards and sentinels. | |||
=== '''Bloodoak Host''' === | |||

'''Fertilizer.''' When the Bloodoak Host reaches 0 HP and fails its Shambling Dead roll, it sprouts an area of thick growths. The area within a 5 ft radius of the Bloodoak Host becomes difficult terrain. | |||
