Bestiary 2 | Monsters | Hangman Tree | Special Abilities | Hallucinatory Spores
Once per day as a standard action, a
hangman tree can release a
cloud of
spores in a 50-foot-radius spread. Creatures in the area must make a DC 20 Will save or believe the
hangman tree to be a perfectly
ordinary tree—or at worst, a
treant or some other friendly tree-like creature. An affected creature becomes passive for 2d6 minutes and refuses to attack the
hangman tree during this time. An affected creature can attempt a new Will save each round that the tree attacks an ally—if a hallucinating creature is attacked by the tree, it gains a +4 bonus on its Will save to see through the hallucination. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
