While the pine doom remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary pine tree. \n'b'  Sticky Pine Tar . A creature that touches the pine doom is  grappled  (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the creature is  restrained . In addition, when a creature hits the pine doom with a bludgeoning or piercing weapon while within 5 feet of it, the creature must succeed on a DC 16  Strength  saving throw or the weapon becomes stuck to the tree. A stuck weapon can\xe2\x80\x99t be used. A creature can take its action to remove one stuck weapon from the pine doom by succeeding on a DC 16  Strength  check. Splashing the pine doom with a gallon of alcohol frees all creatures and objects stuck to it and suppresses this trait for 1 minute. \n'b'  Siege Monster . The pine doom deals double damage to objects and structures. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The pine doom makes three slam attacks. Alternatively, it can use Sap-filled Pinecone twice. \n'b'  Slam .  Melee Weapon Attack : +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.  Hit : 15 (3d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. \n'b'  Sap-filled Pinecone .  Ranged Weapon Attack : +9 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target.  Hit : 10 (2d4 + 5) slashing damage. The target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 16  Dexterity  saving throw or be  restrained  by sap. A creature can be free if it or another creature takes an action to make a DC 16  Strength  check and succeeds. \n'b'  Flurry of Pinecones (Recharge 6) . Each creature within 30 feet of the pine doom must make a DC 16  Dexterity  saving throw, taking 15 (6d4) slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' A living pine tree festooned with pinecones featuring razor-sharp edges looks balefully at the intrusion upon its solitude. \n'b'  Gruff Forest Protector . Pine dooms are typically the largest plants in their groves, towering over ordinary pine trees. They see themselves as responsible for the wellbeing of their forests. They manage the growth of trees under their protection, clear out underbrush, and kill destructive vermin, allowing their groves to prosper. They have an inborn distrust of humanoids, but if a creature entering their forests seems genuinely in trouble, pine dooms allow them to seek shelter. They retaliate strongly, however, if someone takes advantage of their charity. \n'b'  Mobile Groves . Similar to treants, pine dooms can animate trees, though they do so only to relocate threatened groves. Unlike treants, pine dooms can animate all trees in a single grove, but the trees can\xe2\x80\x99t attack. \n'b'  Powerful Pine Sap . A pine doom reserves its sap until it must attack intruders. The sap adheres to anything, allowing the pine doom to entrap weapons and particularly troublesome foes. Druids on friendly terms with the pine doom can coax the tree into producing sap for the druid to use in defending their own groves.'
