===Physical Description===
Fully realized Pollies are about as large as a human, though they may remain fairly stumpy or grow to exceptional sizes depending on their subspecies and growth direction. Fungal clusters and stems approximate legs and feet in varying states of completeness, whereas the head is often part of the main stem or the cap. Pollies are unisex, and 'procreate' by mixing fungal spores, though the process of spores growing into a sentient newborn Polly can take years or even decades.
===Relations===
|specialtype1=
|specialtext1=Pollies possess all traits of the [[SRD:Plant Type|Plant]] type, except that they only have a +4 racial bonus to saves against [[SRD:Mind-Affecting Effect|mind-affecting]] effects, and only 50% [[SRD:Fortification|fortification]] against [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical hits]]. Other immunities remain.
|special3=Ungainly Form
|specialtype3=
|specialtext3=Polly are often oddly shaped, clumsy and not very athletic. They cannot [[SRD:Run|run]]. They can [[SRD:Hustle|hustle]], but incur limitations as though they were running (i.e. having to make checks after a number of rounds equal to their [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] score and so forth). They are considered unusual creatures for the purpose of buying and using [[SRD:Armor|armor]], and furthermore incur double the have a native [[SRD:Armor Check Penalty|armor check penalty]] resulting from worn items, though of -4 even when not from [[SRD:Carrying Capacity|carrying loads]]wearing anything.
|special4=
|specialtext4=A polly has [[SRD:Telepathy|telepathy]] out to 100 feet.
|special5=Acclimated
|specialtype5=
|specialtext5=A polly is quiet and right at home in withdrawn areas in nature or underground. Many creatures consider them as simply fungus — part of the environment — and ignore them. Creatures of the has [[SRD:Animal TypeLight Sensitivity (3.5e Creature Ability)|animallight sensitivity]], [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]], and incurs a -4 penalty to saving throws against [[SRD:Vermin TypeLight Effect|verminlight]], -based spells and [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] types generally start out with neutral disposition towards a polly. Pollies do not trigger territorial behaviour. Creatures that prey on or eat fungus ignore this special qualityeffects.
|special6special7=Susceptible to Light{{Anchor|specialtype6=|specialtext6=Pollies love places that are damp and dimly lit. They have [[Light Sensitivity (3.5e Creature Ability)|light sensitivity]] and incur a -4 penalty to saving throws against [[SRD:Light Effect|light]]-based spells and effects. |special7=Root}}
|specialtype7=Ex
|specialtext7=A polly may root itself into any natural surface as a [[SRD:Full-Round Action|full-round action]]. While rooted, a polly absorbs nutrients from wood, soil, stone, and groundwater and gains [[Rapid Healing (3.5e Creature Ability)|rapid healing]] equal to its effective character level. A rooted polly enjoys a +8 circumstance bonus to [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] and [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] checks to impersonate an ordinary mushroom. For this purpose, a rooted Polly may [[SRD:Ranger#Hide in Plain Sight|hide in plain sight]] as a [[SRD:Ranger|ranger]].
:Unrooting is a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]].
|special8={{Anchor|Hearth Mushroom}}
|specialtype8=Ex
|specialtext8=A Polly may spawn a special mushroom called a ''hearth mushroom'' in which it stores a portion of its life force. A newly spawned hearth mushroom requires 1 hour to plant and takes a number of days to mature equal to 20 minus the Polly's character level, to a minimum of 1 day, and requires the Polly to invest 1,000 XP into its growth. A Polly may have multiple hearth mushrooms, to a maximum of 1 per character level. The hearth mushroom is the same subspecies as the Polly that spawned it, and looks for all intents and purposes like an ordinary mushroom of [[SRD:Small Size|Small]] size. A hearth mushroom has half the [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] of the Polly that spawned it and an AC of 6 + the Polly's [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural armor]] score.
:If the polly [[SRD:Dead|dies]] within 1,000 feet per character level of a fully matured hearth mushroom, the hearth mushroom will grow into the polly's new body over the course of 1d10 days, consuming the mushroom in the process. A [[SRD:Dead|dead]] polly can similarly be returned to life by being brought into the radius of one of its hearth mushrooms as long as the number of days since its death is less than half its character level. After this period, the dead polly's hearth mushrooms will all die.
|special9=Fungal Spores|specialtype9=Su|specialtext9=Pollies have access to spores of various types. See [[#Polly Subspecies|Polly Subspecies]] for more information.

They are highly sought after by civilized folk due to morel mushrooms being a delicacy. Even so, the odd scattered tales of lost adventurers in dark forests being punched to oblivion by walking mushrooms likely started with these. * +2 [[SRD:Strength|Strength]], -2 [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]].* +3 [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural armor]] bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]].* A morel has [[Powerful Build (3.5e Feat)|Powerful Build]] and [[SRD:Power Attack|Power Attack]] as racial bonus feats.* Morels have 2 [[SRD:Slam|slam]] attacks with a damage of 1d10+[[SRD:Strength|Str]] and a [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical]] rate of 19- starting age 20/×2. A creature critically hit by a morel's slam attack must make a [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save or become [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]] for old age 1 [[SRD:Round|round]]. The morel can choose to forcibly apply the [[SRD:Stun|stun]] effect to an attack by making a single [[SRD:Slam|slam]] attack as a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]] with a -4 penalty. In either case, the resulting saving throw is [[SRD:Strength|Strength]]->based.* Morel Polliform recover twice as fast while [[#Root|rooted]], but take twice as long to regrow from a [[#Hearth Mushroom|venerable=<!hearth mushroom]] if slain.* Fungal Spores: Once per encounter, a morel can release a 10-foot- starting age radius spore cloud centered upon themselves that [[SRD:Sickened|sickens]] living creatures for venerable age -->5 [[SRD:Round|rounds]]. Those caught within it must make a [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save or be [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseated]] for the first 2 rounds instead. The effect is instantaneous and the spore cloud dissipates within a single round.* Favored class: [[SRD:Fighter|fighter]]. Polliform Morelis are generally between 6 and 8 feet tall and weigh 250 to 550 pounds. ==={{Anchor|maximumPolliform Capitis}}=== WIP. ==={{Anchor|Polliform Ostris}}=== WIP. ===<!-- max age modifier -->{{Anchor|Polliform Muscaris}} ===
