Undergrowth

Nature [Plant]
Difficulty Class: 5
Channeling Time: 1 standard action
Range: 30 feet
Area: One 10-foot square
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw :None

The plants in the area that you chose grow rapidly, covering every last bit of the ground in thick vines, bushes, and roots. Moving through the area seems to become a lot more difficult.

The area becomes covered with light undergrowth. A space with light undergrowth costs 2 squares of movement to move into, and it provides concealment. Undergrowth increases the DC of Tumble and Move Silently checks by 2 because the leaves and branches get in the way.

Enhance: You can enhance this incantation in one or both of the following ways.

For every 2 points by which you increase the DC, this incantation affects two additional 5-foot squares.

If you increase the DC by 5, the area becomes covered with heavy undergrowth. Heavy undergrowth costs 4 squares of movement to get into, and it provides a 30% miss chance (instead of the usual 20%). It increases the DC of Tumble and Move Silently checks by 5. Heavy undergrowth is easy to hide in, granting a +5 circumstance bonus on Hide checks. Running and charging in heavy undergrowth are impossible. However, you must increase the DC by 3 to affect two additional 5-foot squares with this incantation (instead of the usual 2).
