Trait Descriptions
Adaptive Growth: Trellinds are essentially sentient magical trees. Some have so much control over the magic empowering them that they can use it to adjust their wooden frame at will. Trellind’s may alter their physical selves as though casting either Barkskin, Tree Shape, or Wood Shape. The caster level for these effects is equal to the trellind’s character level and activating this ability takes two actions. A trellind may use this ability for a number of minutes equal to their character level. These minutes need not be consecutive, but must be used in one minute increments. When using this ability to replicate wood shape, the Trellind may change the shape of their hands and feet as per the spell. This effect may replicate any light or one-handed melee weapon. Doing so gives the Trellind a primary natural attack which otherwise functions as the replicated weapon appropriate to the Trellind's size.
