Plant Door (spell)

Plant Door is a spell that creates a mystical gateway or passage within trees, underbrush, dense foliage or any comparable thick vegetation, including even magically-infused growth. It can be applied to trees with a diameter of up to 3 inches or to any impenetrable vegetation within a one combat hex radius.

The created door is of use only to the caster or certain beings like dryads. The caster can use the door to conceal his or her self, or leap to any other large enough tree or patch of thick vegetation, up to a distance of 10 ft. per the caster's level. This leap requires a full round, but the round after the caster can emerge and take action, or leap again.

Throughout the duration of the spell, the caster can step out or return through the "door" as desired, though the remainder of the round must be spent waiting before leaping the round after. There's no limit to the number of leaps that can be made.

Limitations

While the caster can see perfectly well from inside each tree or vegetation entered, he or she cannot cast spells from inside, or make physical attacks, without first stepping outward. Nothing can be passed to the caster while inside, nor can he or she be seen by others — and therefore he or she must emerge before they can become the recipient of another spell. Magical items can be activated, so long as they affect only the caster.

An exception is made for the caster if assuming the shape of a tree, as the spell of the same name. Once the shape has been assumed, the caster can cast plant door, and then leap to a real tree in the spell's range, if desired.
