The Burning
From SCross
Born of the flaming path carved into the sacred forest of espers, some trees refuse to forget the death of their breathen, and are caught in a cycle of torment, eventually bursting into flames with remembrance of the fire that their enemies wielded. Such trees gain mobility and sentience despite the pain, and now move to guard their less mobile brothers and sisters. PCs of the species should come in the form of bushes and young trees(No taller than 15 ft)
Description: Large plants that lumber at a slow pace. Many have human like faces, either in their trunk or as a formation of the leaves that cover them, or even on the flowers, which they use to speak with others. They eat and drink through their roots.
Benefits:
Sun Driven: 25 Day-Affinity.
PhotoSynthesis: While in sunlight, The Burning may spend a round to regain 5% of their maximum health. Out of combat, a minute of quiet contemplation completely heals them of hit point damage, and dispells all non-permanent hostile statuses.
Fire Touched: They are constantly on fire, their souls scorched and wounded. They can no longer be injured by fire, and are immune to all damage of the fire type.
Disadvantages:
Slow: They are not born to move, and do so at half rate. On the up, they don't tire from movement. Long disance, they end up doing about as well as animals.
Fire Touched: The flames fuel their strange new life, but makes them sensitive to ice. +50% damage.
Rarity: Rare
Homeland: Esper Forest
