Plant - Entangle

[PotatoJedi]

Casting time: 1 Round
Range: 10m
Duration: 10 Rounds
MP cost: 4

You cause nearby vines, branches, roots, etc to wrap around your target and restrain them. Target must succeed on a Dexterity roll or become restrained. Once they are restrained, next round they can attempt a Strength roll to break free. If they fail the strength roll, they must succeed on another Dexterity roll to retain their balance or fall down.

dex vs dex of target plants have 30 dex (first lvl of the spell)

Casting time: 1 round
Range: 10m
Duration: 1 minute
MP cost: 4mp

Each round the creature is in contact with the surface (stone, wood, metal) that the spell was cast on, they get a free Dexterity roll to avoid being captured. Should they fail their free Dexterity roll, they then get a free Strength roll to break free. If both rolls are failed, they are weakly stuck to the area. While stuck, all combat skills (and any other physical skills the GM deems) are at a -30%. They can do other things but their feet stay there that round. They may try one free Strength roll to break free each round. After they do, the spell effect ends. Should they fail their free Dexterity roll then their free Strength roll each round, the maximum number of rounds they can be trapped for is twelve, the duration of the spell.

This is a 'super weak pin spell'.

Not sure what cf means?

Oh, it already kind of exists. Never mind then.

You failed your Latin roll.

Literally, it means confer, but you can read it as "compare".

Something like that spell might be good for plants with the limitation that the person must be atop plants capable of grabbing them.

True, you could have it be essentially the same spell through a different medium.

I don't know if having multiple spells in different schools that do the same thing is a good thing. Makes them feel less unique.

True, but some sort of entangle type spell is a standard for plant casters in every system.
