Quick-Grow Acorns

Wondrous item, uncommon

Component: phial of plant sap

At the core of each of these acorns is a mote of energy from the Positive Energy Plane, whose life-giving properties allow a sentient tree to spring forward from the nut at a prodigious rate. The small mote burns down quickly, however, causing the tree to die off just as promptly—an unfortunate occurrence that can be used to one’s advantage.

These acorns are usually found or crafted in bundles of 1d4 + 1.

Timber! As an action, you can plant one of these acorns in an unoccupied space on the ground within your reach, causing it to rapidly grow into an awakened tree bearing gorgeous autumn foliage. The tree is an ally to you and your companions, and it shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). At the end of its turn, it rapidly decays and falls in a 15-foot-long, 5-foot-wide line in a direction of your choice. Each creature in the area must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

---------------------------------------

Very rare variant: The planted acorn grows into a treant without the Animate Trees action. Increase the DC to 16 and the damage to 5d6.
