| A woody plant. It looks dry enough to be easily set on fire, and its foliage is not very dense, permitting both magic and missiles to pass through unaffected. However, it is firmly rooted, and requires significant effort to destroy.
“And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” |
Useful Info
Bushes are ridiculously tough plants that require a severe beating to uproot. Players and monsters alike can shoot projectiles and cast magic through bushes. Bushes block LOS when looking through two or more. Unlike regular plants, they don't wither after being hit.
Strong Fire Magic (anything that can burn a tree) aimed directly at a bush will ignite it, destroying it relatively quickly. Just be sure to keep away from the thing until the fire goes out, as it may lash out at adjacent spaces. This is rare enough that fires won't get out of control - at most you'll see it spread a couple times before petering out.
Tips & Tricks
- You can use bushes as cover and fire through them, but remember that ranged enemies can fire through as well.
- If a bush is standing on top of an item you want, it's simplest to use Apportation to get it out from underneath without taking the time to destroy the bush.
