This is a homebrew spell, based on the SRD ''[[SRD:Entangle|entangle]]'' spell. This spell, and the [[SRD:Entangled|condition]] designed around it interface rather poorly with each other and create confusion/leave room for interpretation. This variant of the entangle spell is designed to be usable without making players and DMs alike make Will saves versus confusion. It also aims to fix a few other things. Namely, the fact that this spell is kind of amazing for its level.

Grasses, weeds, bushes, and even tree roots wrap, twist, and entwine about creatures in the area or those that enter the area. Any ground-bound creature caught within the effect is immediately [[SRD:Entangled|entangled]] and remains so until it leaves the area. Entangled creatures must make a [[SRD:Reflex|Reflex]] save or be immobilized. A creature immobilized by this spell may free itself immediately at the start of its turn as a [[SRD:Swift Actions|swift action]] by succeeding on a DC 20 [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] or [[SRD:Escape Artist Skill|Escape Artist]] check, or over time by dealing 10 points of physical or [[SRD:Fire Effect|Fire]] damage to the plants restraining it. An immobilized creature gets a bonus to its checks to free itself equal to the damage dealt to the entangling plants. A creature freed from its immobilized state is still entangled while it remains in the area.

Entangling plants are effectively [[SRD:Tiny Size|Tiny]], have an AC of 13 (+2 size and +1 [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural]]), a [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]] of 5/[[SRD:Slashing Weapon|slashing]], and a break DC of 20.

Each [[SRD:Round|round]] on your turn, the plants once again attempt to immobilize all creatures that have avoided or escaped immobilization.
