VH: Elemental Wood's Legacy
Wood
Description
Roleplaying Info
the Elemental Wood, sometimes called 'The Green' or 'Elemental Life' is the raw power of nature made manifest into humanoid beings. This power can come from dryad-like plantfolk that have been born from a specific purpose, or from an experiment gone awry. The same magic that had made Verdalings likely has made people, too. Whatever the reason, you exist as one of them. The plantfolk, the people of the forest, the creatures and beings of Elemental Wood's Legacy. As a sidenote, Golarion Leshy are such Elemental Wood-like folk by default, and will share many of the same ancestry talents.
You Might...
- Have wood themed physical traits or tattoos, such as roots or bark-like structures all over your skin, the occasional branch here and there, or have the appearance of a plant-person.
- Are known to swim or be at home underwater, or even be able to become water itself.
- Have been known to disappear to places others cannot follow, or have used your affinity for water for your advantage.
Others Probably...
- Assume you are remarkably patient, to the point of absurdity.
- Think you may smell, or should smell, of flowers or other pleasantries of the forest.
- Think you are weak to fire, but deal more damage to water. Which, uhhhhh...
