Living Ship
Druids, rangers, and clerics devoted to gods of nature are often found aboard living ships, as are Wildspace explorers who don’t want to have to worry about their ship’s air envelope becoming fouled during a long voyage.
This ship’s main distinctive feature is the fully grown treant on the aft deck. The treant has a speed of 0 because its roots are woven into the deck; it and the ship are inseparable. If the ship is reduced to 0 hit points, the treant dies of shock. The ship can function if its treant dies, but the treant can never be replaced with another.
A living ship can float on water and sail across it, but it can’t land safely on the ground (its keel would cause it to roll on its side). Its standard weaponry is an aft-mounted ballista.
