Anyone heard of a humanoid plant race in d&d (preferably 3.5/3)

[redx]

Looking for stats on a Humanoid plant race. There are obvious ways to home-brew this in the rules, but id like to see info on any that already exist. Im open to any info form other RPGS as long as it actually has stats/info/etc that would be useful in developing a personal home-brew. Thanks (P.S. am i missing something obvious in this race that explains why it hasn't been published?)

[Marlowe]

Volodni from Unapproachable East spring to mind, but they don't have Humanoid [Plant] status, they're just straight-up Plant.

What do you mean humanoid plant? A humanoid with a plant them. A human shaped plant creature? A creature with both humanoid and plant types? If it's the first one then there should be an assortment of fey (perhaps the Thorn from MMIII) that fit the bill, as for the second option the first things that come to my mind are the Needlefolk, and Myconids from MMII, as well as the Woodling template in MMIII. I'm pretty sure you won't find anything for the last option as creatures never have more than one type (though they may have more than one subtype.)

Cool this is the type of stuff I am looking for. Unfortunately they veer to far away from humans. I intentionally wasn't more specific in my description of what I am trying to do just so I could get this type of information also, so thanks for the info :)

All of these are the type of creature I was looking for. More specifically I am looking for a something closer to a human plant hybrid, but since I think I am going to have to home brew I left it a little more vague. I have been looking into some of the MM "plants" and also in to some of the spell touched info. Thanks for this list though I completely missed the woodland template when I was looking through MMIII.

If you're looking for a humanoid shaped plant creature, well, treants to start (though they're huge), wood wose also fit the bill. I think killoren have a plant-y theme to them. Also any humanoid creature with the woodling template.

[frogglesmash]

Iirc there's another plant template in manual of the planes though it may just be the 3.0 version of the woodling template. There's also an evil humanoid shrubbery in MMII called a twig blight. There's the woodwoad MMIII, the Briarvex MMIV, oh and can't forget Dryad, they're the most humanoid of the whole lot, though I think they're fey and not plants. If their tree dependency proves to be a problem I seem to recall there being some sort of magical item that allows them to overcome it. There's also the yellow musk zombie template from fiend folio, but that might be somewhat limiting.

I remember two templates that are both pretty decent that make this: Wood elemental and Greendbound. Just slap the templates onto some other humanoid creature. Topiary Golem does something similar.

Also, if the 'hybrid' is the important part, the Symbiotic template from Savage Species lets you combine any Plant and Humanoid (assuming one is a good deal smaller than the other). Common choice I've seen is Dread Blossom Swarm.

Not 3.5e, but PF has Ghoran that can be easily converted to 3.5e by making them have "+2 Con, -2 Intelligence".

Killoren from Races of the Wild, pg. 102 - 106
I absolutely adore them. Cool fluff, decent crunch. Though they are technically fey, they look very plant like and could easily be restarted as such.

[Marlowe]

Except Killoren are supposed to look pretty much the same as Elves or Half-Elves with odd colouration.

Evidently, nobody told the artist this.

I'm going to side with the artists on the Killoren, because space. Besides, we have too many Elven races as it is--

[Darrin]

Myconids: rockin' (or rather plantin') it old school.
Needlefolk. Probably a few others.

[redx]

Wow so many things to look at. I have been an OTS reader for many years but only really lurked around the forums. I have to say I am amazed at the quantity and speed of responses. Thanks everyone.

This (http://monsterfinder.dndrunde.de/results.php?id=1542252170&skip=0) is what the Monster Finder produced for plant type creatures. It doesn't contain all of the books, but it does have many of them.

Greenbound creature! It's only +8 LA!

[ZamielVanWeber]

Greenbound creature! It's only +8 LA!

Easy fix. Be a greenbound animal with the leadership feat. Your cohort is a druid with greenbound summoning and prepares nothing but Summon Nature's Ally spells. Summon you in when you are needed.

[QuickLyRaiNbow]

The Volodni and the Twig Blight are the two lowest LA options at +2 and no HD. The twig blight unfortunatelyyyyyy has -6 int and -6 cha. Volodni are better unless you need the bite attack or the poison.

Woodling is a +3 LA template that does not change the creature's type but does grant plant traits. Also 7 NA, a slam attack, SLAs and some other junk. There are four classes that change type to Plant; Forest Master 7, Talontar Blightlord, Verdant Lord and Thrall of Zuggtmoy, all at level 10. None of that is accessible before ECL 16/17.

As an aside, the greenbound template I found listed the LA as +8, but I also found a source saying it's +5 in Lost Empires of Faerun. Has the greenbound template been printed in multiple places?

Is Pathfinder on the table?
