COMBAT
Grey philosophers never engage in combat in and of themselves. The malices associated with a philosopher are the only things that will actually engage in combat. The philosopher will sit unmoving until the moment it is destroyed.

Malice Incarnation (Su): Each time a malice is destroyed, the grey philosopher may make a Concentration check (DC 20) to create a new malice. The new malice seems to coalesce inside the translucent hood of the philosopher, then fly out one round later. If the philosopher fails this check, he may make no further checks to replace the lost malice. If multiple malices are killed in a single round, the philosopher gets one check per round until the number of checks he has made equals the number of malices that have been destroyed or the philosopher is destroyed.

Turn Immunity (Su): Because it is so caught up in its brooding, a philosopher does not even notice attempts to turn it. A successful turning sufficient to cause the creature's destruction will destroy it - any other turning results should be ignored.

Incorporeal: Can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, +1 or better magic weapons, or magic, with a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source (except force attacks). Can pass through solid objects at will, and own attacks pass through armor. Always moves silently.

Undead: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease. Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage.

COMBAT

Malices attack for the sheer pleasure of watching other creatures in pain. Malices attack somewhat randomly, expressing no preference among targets in melee. They seem to have some limited ability to communicate, for once a group is discovered by a single malice, two more malices join in the attack each round until the group has moved too far from the grey philosopher for the malices to follow (a clever group may deduce the location of the philosopher after two or three encounters with its malices). If the philosopher is attacked, the malices arrive for combat at the same rate. Not intelligent enough to pick out targets attacking the philosopher, they randomly attack any target in the general area of the philosopher as though the philosopher no more important than any of the malices.

Vitality Strain (Su): A malice’s touch deals 1 point of temporary Constitution damage in addition to normal damage.

Incorporeal: Can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, +1 or better magic weapons, or magic, with a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source (except force attacks). Can pass through solid objects at will, and own attacks pass through armor. Always moves silently.

Undead: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease. Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage.

When a tree is used for an evil purpose such as the burning of an inocennt person, there is a possibliity that the tree will become infused with the vengful spirit of the victem. When this happens the result is a Ghostly Tree.

These look like just another ruined tree in the day. In the night, the tree appears as it did in life, but without leaves. The ghostly limbs seem to wave as if blown in a non-existant wind. This appearance is very distrubing. Any living creature within 60 feet that views a ghost must succeed on a Fortitude save or immediately take 1d4 points of Strength damage, 1d4 points of Dexterity damage, and 1d4 points of Constitution damage. A creature that successfully saves against this effect cannot be affected by the same ghost’s horrific appearance for 24 hours.

In combat, they do nothing until it's victem is well under the branches. It then uses it's ghostly limbs and it's long reach to attack it's victem as many times as possible before the victem flees.

Alignment: Usually neutral evil
Advancement Range: 5-8 HD (Medium-size); 9-16 HD (Large); 17-24 HD (Huge)

COMBAT

A dusanu does have considerable intelligence, and prefers to attack victims in less-inhabited areas. A dusanu prefers to attack until it has hit two or three times (this increasing the likelihood of an infection), then retreat, hopefully evading its pursuers. It will use traps and cover of darkness to increase its likelihood of escape.

Spore Rot (Ex): When a dusanu's moldy claws hit an opponent in combat, the mold in that area spews spores, in an attempt to infect the creature's open wound. An opponent hit by a dusanu in combat must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or be infected by Spore Rot. Spore Rot has an incubation period of 1 day; damage is 2d6 temporary Constitution.

Spore Cloud (Ex): A dusanu's moldy components constantly release spores, acting as a continuous spread in a 5 foot radius from its body. Those within the cloud must make a Fortitude save every round (DC 12) or become infected with Spore Rot (as above).

Spongy Body (Ex): Because a dusanu's body, including the bones of the original creature, has become spongy and yields when hit, bludgeoning weapons inflict only half normal damage to a dusanu.

Spawn (Su): A creature infected with Spore Rot will rise as a dusanu 1d8 hours after its death, harboring all of the memories and knowledge of the original dusanu. Casting a cure disease spell on the body within this time span will prevent this.

Plant: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and polymorphing. Not subject to critical hits.

Organization: Solitary
CR: 9
Treasure: 1/4 Standard

Advancement Range: 11-15 HD (Large); 16-30 HD (Huge)

COMBAT

Although powerful, a fungoid is quite slow in combat. It attempts to pummel its opponents with its massive fists, using little strategy or other tactics. The flabby flesh of a fungoid gives easily, and chunks sometimes tear off on an opponent's armor (this causes no real damage to the fungoid, but is an excellent device for spooking players).

Spongy Body (Ex): Because a fungoid's body is spongy and yields when hit, bludgeoning weapons inflict only half normal damage.

Cold Immunity (Ex): Made of hardy strain fungus that is accustomed to extreme weather conditions, a fungoid takes no damage from cold-based attacks.

Fire Vulnerability (Ex): A fungoid takes double damage from fire-based attacks, except where those attacks allow a saving throw. If the fungoid makes its saving throw, it takes half damage from the attack.

Plant: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and polymorphing. Not subject to critical hits.
