Roots of the Orchid

Once the host has adjusted to the seed it then begins to take root, causing the host to begin to exude the ability to grow plant like vines from certain parts of their body, often areas which previously grew hair. Initially they are almost indistinguishable from hair but the host can quickly find practical use for them as an aid for feeding, an augment for grip, or as their first ability to transform their environment.

• +1 to a physical attribute
• The host gains advantage on all checks to climb and move along surfaces and can expend an action and 1d6 hit points to use Spider climb on itself without any verbal,or material components.
• Monk exclusive: Can cast it for 3 ki points instead, a monk at 9th level can use it at will.
• A host with superiority die can expend 1 die and add the roll to the highest counted roll for the check. If the roll exceeds 20 they gain the benefits of Spider Climb
  • The host can take 1d6 bleed damage and use Ensnaring Strike without any verbal,or material components. The vines remain attached to the host, allowing them to drag the creature around and heal for half the damage they deal on each damage roll.
  • A monk can instead spend 2 ki points to use it and uses its ki power DC for the spell.
  • A host with superiority die can instead expend one superiority to use it and add the roll to the damage dealt by the attack
  • The DC of this ability from a non-spellcaster (unless stated otherwise) is equal to 8 + proficiency mod + constitution mod
    • Bed of vines: The vampire can perform the ritual at the cost of a "Bloody flower" to grow vines and enchant a space or item that fits within a (5+character level)ft cube. This item can be anything from ay sleeping roll to a bed to just a big whole in the ground. The item/space then becomes overgrown with Pale Orchid Vines and larger spaces have a chance of growing minor pale flora.
    • The vines and flora will still require seek out nourishment, potentially causing damage or ruining the overgrown structures or going dormant(not dying) if there is insufficient sustenance. After gaining this feat, the vampire can henceforth only gain the benefits of a long rest if it sleeps in a created bed of vines and they can only have one structure at a time.
