Grasping Roots

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Grasping Roots is a special ability unique to treants which causes the network of roots running beneath the earth to rise. These roots apply a 5 aut movement delay penalty and halve the EV of any hostile creature standing on solid ground within sight of the treant. Creatures above lava and water are unaffected. Flying creatures are also unimpeded, but the roots have a high chance of rising up and pulling them back to the ground.
