Plant Powers (FiD)

Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page

Main Page is Powers Governs plants and dead plant matter, including fungi.

Plant governs the majority of all life, things that do not act or move but only grow. Plant powers can accelerate and empower normally inanimate plants as barriers, tools, and weapons. Some plants do move, animate plants that act as other creatures do, but these are the exception.

Plant attacks are poison, infiltrating roots, and shooting seeds and barbs. These are effective against living things, but slow to damage objects.

Plant elementals are animated trees or masses of vegetation. Plant creatures are all kinds of plants capable of action. Learning who to summon may require study or be a a score in itself.
