Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./
level)
Effect:
Wall of thorny brush, up to one 10-ft. cube/
level (S)
Duration: 10 min./
level (D)
A
wall of thorns spell creates a barrier of very tough, pliable, tangled brush bearing needle-sharp thorns as long as a
human's finger. Any creature forced into or attempting to move through a
wall of thorns takes slashing
damage per round of
movement equal to 25 minus the creature's AC. Dexterity and
dodge bonuses to AC do not count for this calculation. (Creatures with an
Armor Class of 25 or higher, without considering Dexterity and
dodge bonuses, take no
damage from contact with the
wall.)
You can make the
wall as thin as 5 feet thick, which allows you to shape the
wall as a number of 10-by-10-by-5-foot blocks equal to twice your
caster level. This has no
effect on the
damage dealt by the thorns, but any creature attempting to break through takes that much less time to force its way through the barrier.
Creatures can force their way slowly through the
wall by making a Strength check as a
full-round action. For every 5 points by which the check exceeds 20, a creature moves 5 feet (up to a maximum distance equal to its normal land
speed). Of course, moving or attempting to move through the thorns incurs
damage as described above. A creature trapped in the thorns can choose to remain motionless in order to avoid taking any more
damage.
Any creature within the area of the spell when it is cast takes
damage as if it had moved into the
wall and is caught inside. In order to escape, it must attempt to push its way free, or it can wait until the spell ends. Creatures with
the ability to pass through overgrown areas unhindered can pass through a
wall of thorns at normal
speed without taking
damage.
A
wall of thorns can be breached by
slow work with edged weapons. Chopping away at the
wall creates a safe passage 1 foot deep for every 10 minutes of work. Normal fire cannot
harm the barrier, but magical fire burns it away in 10 minutes.
Despite its appearance, a
wall of thorns is not actually a living plant, and thus is unaffected by spells that affect plants.
