briar patch (P)

A tangled cluster of thorny briars, sharp enough to pierce thick hide and armour. Although stationary, its branches are possessed with a will of their own. They move to allow magic and missiles fired by those friendly to this plant to pass through unaffected.

Speed: 0 | HD: 10 | HP: 13-18 | AC/EV: 10/0 (spiny 5d4) | plant, amphibious, unbreathing | Resistances: will(invuln), poison, drown, torm | Vulnerabilities: fire | XP: 0 | Size: small | Intelligence: brainless.

Henzell says...

Destroyable obstacle summoned by a {thorn hunter} or Fedhas' {wall of briars} ability that deals 5d4 to those that melee them. Monsters won't hit the ones made by thorn hunters. Briar patches block {line of fire} from actors *not* aligned with them, so your Fedhas briars will block projectiles and most hexes from monsters, but won't block yours.
