====== Earthroot Level Object ======

{{ rpd:images:earthroot_level_object.png|Earthroot Level Object }}

==== Description ====
The **Earthroot** is a plant that can grow from [[en:rpd:earthroot_seed_item|Earthroot Seeds]]. When stepped on or touched, it applies multiple buffs to the creature that touches it:
  * **Herbal Armor** (EarthrootBuff): Provides armor equivalent to the character's strength/4 for a limited time
  * **Barkskin**: Additional armor buff that stacks with Herbal Armor
  * **Rooted**: Prevents movement (unless flying)

The plant is destroyed after being touched.

==== Effects ====
  * Provides the [[en:rpd:barkskin_buff|Barkskin]] buff when touched
  * Also applies **Herbal Armor** buff (armor = STR/4)
  * Also applies **Rooted** debuff (prevents movement, unless flying)
  * The effect is immediate when stepping on the level object tile
  * The level object disappears after being touched
  * Flying creatures are immune to the Rooted effect

==== Mechanics ====
  * Earthroot level objects are typically found growing in the dungeon
  * They can also be grown by planting [[en:rpd:earthroot_seed_item|Earthroot Seeds]]
  * When a creature touches the plant, it receives the **Herbal Armor** buff (armor = STR/4)
  * Also applies **Barkskin** buff (additional armor)
  * The barkskin effect from the level object is proportional to the character's max HP

==== Strategy ====
  * **Strategic Placement:** Plant Earthroot seeds in locations where you plan to stay defensively
  * **Emergency Protection:** Useful when facing difficult enemies if you can retreat to the plant's location
  * **Alchemy Ingredient:** The plant itself can be harvested for crafting purposes
  * Earthroot level objects are valuable for providing defensive benefits in dangerous areas
  * Consider saving them for challenging encounters or boss fights
  * Can be especially helpful before entering dangerous rooms or areas
