Arboreal Hammer

Description

tree branches attack opponents.

this spell animates a tree's branch and directs it against your foes. at caster level 10th or lower, you can target a huge tree. at caster level 11th–15th, you can target a gargantuan tree, and at caster level 16th or higher you can target a colossal tree. the animated branch makes slam attacks with a strength score equal to 10 + your caster level. the branch strikes once per round with an attack bonus equal to your caster level + the branch's strength modifier, adjusted by the appropriate size modifier (–2 for huge, –4 for gargantuan, –8 for colossal). a huge tree's slam deals 2d6 points of damage, a gargantuan tree's slam deals 3d6 points of damage, and a colossal tree's slam deals 4d6 points of damage; the tree adds 1-1/2 times its strength modifier to this damage. a huge tree has reach 15 feet, a gargantuan has reach 20 feet, and a colossal has reach 30 feet. the tree attacks the creature you designate when you cast the spell, and is unable to move. you can direct the tree against a new target as a move action. the tree does not gain a bonus for flanking, nor can it help another combatant flank. it cannot attack a foe you cannot see.
