Quaffing a potion of lignification transforms you into Tree Form for a little while. As a tree, you cannot move, blink, teleport, eat food, 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), as well as an immediate boost in satiation to Satiated. 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 HP gain and associated boost to regeneration rate you receive upon quaffing could be the difference between life and death, if you are lethally poisoned with no access to curing.
  • Although far from being a universally good potion, Tree Form can certainly be useful for some characters. Trolls and ogres who have yet to find any actual armour, for example, will find the free AC, GDR, HP, and combat damage make for an excellent last-stand buff. Still, losing mobility is almost always a dangerous prospect.

History

Potions of lignification were added in 0.14, replacing potions of slowing.
