Actions

Entrap. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one Medium or smaller creature. Hit: The snapper­ saw's ribbed leaves snap shut, grappling the target (escape DC 13). While grappled, the creature is restrained, and takes 24 (4d10 + 2) 4d10+2 slashing damage at the begin­ning of each of the snapper-saw's turns as the plant's saw-like stalks shred their flesh.

 

    This is a snapper-saw (see appendix B; use Handout #33). Hidden in the bushy center are a half-dozen tough stalk-like leaves with sharp edges and jagged thorny pro­ jections which remind the viewer of a saw. Any creature stepping within the reach of the plant's leaves will find that these growths will snap shut, holding it fast, and the saw-like stalks then flail the victim to shed its juices and shred its flesh to feed the plant.   The snapper-saw's berries can be transparent golden colour or yellow-green and the DM should vary their ap­ pearance if the party encounters multiple snapper-saw plants during their explorations to keep them guessing. Regardless of their coloration, the berries are not poison­ ous and 4d12 berries are found growing on each bush.
