:Assassin Trees are thankfully rare compared to other sorts of trees, but that still means they are uncomfortably common. They can be found in forests and jungles, hilly or mountainous wilderness, swamps, and even tundra and deserts. Indeed, more than a few desert oases have been lost to these vegetable menaces. | :Assassin Trees are thankfully rare compared to other sorts of trees, but that still means they are uncomfortably common.

| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Description = | | Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Description = The first time an Assassin Tree is reduced to zero hit points in a battle, it is not destroyed. Instead, it collapses into a massive pile of debris, loses all status conditions, is immune to all damage until its next turn, and its hit points are reset to half their normal value. ({{Bloodied-Hit-Points}} HP) | ||
At the beginning of its next turn after Siege of Brambles is activated, the two tokens of its space are removed, and replaced by a single 3x3 token representing the pile of animate debris it has become. This new counter is placed anywhere within its melee reach, calculated from either of its former counters (any square of its new space must share any square within its former melee reach). This new counter may be placed on top of enemy counters without penalty, and all creatures within its new space are automatically struck once by Scourge of Leaves and must make a save against Searing Rash. | |||
In this form, it loses the ability to use Rooting Crush, but it retains all its other abilities, its [[Walk]] speed improves to 25 feet, and it gains the ability to move into, and through, other creatures' spaces without penalty or provoking attacks of opportunity. Any creature within its new space suffers Scourge of Leaves damage once when it ends its move. | |||
If multiple Assassin Trees are present and have been reduced to their Siege of Brambles forms, they can stack with each other, sharing their space, without penalty, just like swarms. However, also like swarms, no more than two Siege of Brambles-form Assassin Trees can make their free Scourge of Leaves attack against a single target in a given round, no matter how many are stacked into that creature's space. | |||
