This technique can only be used on soft or firm ground. As a result of this technique, the user will cause a quick growth of vines designed to hold and entangle any creature caught in the area of the technique. Any creature caught in the area becomes entangled for the duration of the technique or until it breaks free. The creature can move at half its normal speed using a full-round action and making Strength or Escape Artist check (DC 20). A creature that succeeds the Reflex save is not entangled but can still move at half its speed only through the area of effect, and can't run. Each round on the user's turn, any creature that avoided or escaped the entanglement must make another save or fall victim to it once again.
