[hcobb]

Animate Vegetation(T) The initial fatigue expended in the casting of this spell sets both a radius in hexes and the maximum ST that can exerted in each hex, but no one plant can exert more than its hit points (take sqrt(weight / 1.5 pounds) if no other hit points stated for the plant) in ST. Cost only 1 ST per turn to maintain after the first turn, whatever the radius. These plants grapple with the wizard's DX and the set ST, but strike at -4 DX and an additional -1 DX per hex away from the wizard.
