Question, what would be the ability scores for an awakened tree?

Awaken (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/a/awaken)


An awakened tree has characteristics as if it were an animated object, except that it gains the plant type and its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores are each 3d6. An awakened plant gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and it has senses similar to a human's.
Animated Object (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/constructs/animated-object)... but what size is a tree? Depends on the tree, but I would bet the average tree counts as huge (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/constructs/animated-object/animated-object-huge) (16-32 feet).

Which leads to Str 30, Dex 6, Con -, Int 3d6, Wis 3d6, Cha 3d6

Depends on the size of the tree.

It gets 3d6 to all three mental stats, but otherwise you use the animated object rules:

There are links for each size of animated object there (click on the size you want in the chart). All you'd have to do is replace the mental stats and choose how to use the construction points.

I would give it the Slower flaw (and probably drop the movement speed to 0 - it can't move, it's rooted in place), for an extra CP. Possible uses for those CP would be additional slam attacks (it gets one by default), trip, grab, pull or constrict (I'm imagining branches reaching out to perform such attacks).

Wow thanks for the thread! I am DMing a steam punk game where an elven city is protected by Mechanical trees. I was just going to make up some stats but I like the animate object rules! Thanks!

Huh, I just realized that an awakened tree is a living creature without a con score. That's just weird.
