Potion of lignification

Version 0.14: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A potion which temporarily transforms the imbiber into an animated tree with branches capable of holding weapons. Such a tree is quite resilient, although cannot retreat in any way.

Icon

Quaffing a potion of lignification transforms you into Tree Form for a little while. As a tree, you cannot move, blink, teleport, quaff potions, or utter commands, and your EV is reduced to almost nothing. You can read scrolls, cast spells, wield weapons, and zap wands, however, and you are granted significant physical defense and plant resistances (rPois, rN+++, rTorment). Ghouls and vampires below full are unaffected, while followers of Zin incur a piety loss and penance if they knowingly drink this potion.

Tips & Tricks

The slight HP gain you receive upon quaffing could be the difference between life and death, if you are lethally poisoned with no access to curing.

History

Potions of slowing will be replaced with these potions in 0.14.
