Palm trees aren't really trees. Can a druid with Speak to Trees speak to one?
You can speak to any tree, but if they respond it's a sign that you've spent too much time in the forest.
>Palm trees aren't really trees
They aren't?
Palm trees are the fruiting bodies of a fungus, dipshit.
The spell is called Speak With Plants
They are a woody herb
>The spell is called Speak With Plants
This. OP should actually be asking about Tree Stride, but as usual, OP is a homosexual.
He's trying to drop trivia about palm trees being monocots, but fails to realize that "tree" is a nebulous term that doesn't actually describe any taxonomic group(s) of plants.
Trees are made out of wood, moron.
Not always, there's a professional definition of tree by woodworkers which implies it refers to a plant that can produce lumber, otherwise it is applicable to palms and bamboos, which aren't made of wood.
Did the microplastics get to them?
I really hate when scientists do shit like that like “actually blackberries aren’t berries because we decided berry meant something else to what it has always meant”.
Bamboo is actually grass
Grasses are actually flowers.
Flowers are actually reproductive organs of various kinds of plants.
Druids can, but it comes through like Welsh/Icelandic/Cajun-been-in-the-bayou-since-time-immemorial to the uninitiated..
>druid casts speak with trees to talk with a palm
>it starts asking for ganja, mon
Yes, they would be considered trees by any reasonable culture that hasn't been lead astray by the false light of "science."
Let's be real.
Tree is a niche.
There is no universally recognized precise definition of what a tree is.
Why aren't they trees? Tell me your taxonomic reasoning
Jesus frick you guys, google and wikipedia are things. I just spelled both of them for you. Do a tiny bit of research and expand your mind.
The notion of a tree is already polyphyletic, so you are wrong.
Reread the post you responded to. Find one incorrect statement. Don’t assume I’m OP.
seems like you should read wikipedia yourself, this thread is a case of smug midwittery
if you're smugposting without identifying yourself as a different poster I'm always going to assume you're the same moron or at least agree with them
it's an anonymous image board dipshit
>I'm always going to assume
Sounds like a you problem
it's a natural assumption and one which serves me reasonably well
you are a smug moron after all just not the exact same mongoloid that made the thread
>my misapprehensions serve me well
>you are moron
Concession accepted

Explain why they aren't trees through cladistics homosexual
Depends entirely on the doctrine of your druidic school.
"Real trees" don't really exist.
trees aren't real
op is a homosexual
"Speak with Non-Animal Fibrous Cellulose Organisms" doesn't exactly flow off the tongue.
>Fibrous Cellulose Organisms
That includes a lot of plants which no one calls trees like flax bushes.
Yeah, that falls within the intention of the spell, considering it can also be used on plant creatures and fungal creatures like myconids. By that extension of logic, we can extrapolate the syntax for how it works on mundane mushrooms as being positive.
> plant = true // mushroom = [true]
> plant creature = true // mushroom creature = true
The point is that, despite not actually being plants, "speak with plants" actually works on any manner of non-animal organisms.
But the greater point is that D&D and its creators are fricking moronic, so you should play an actual game and not bother with this pointless bullshit.
Plants are actually dogs.
Palm trees have the platonic essence of a tree, therefore they are trees. They have the inherent "tree-ness" that makes people look at them and say "yep, that's a tree"
yes. because frick autism thats why
Tree isn't even a well defined term, which is why in my campaigns all "speak with" abilities must refer to a monophyletic group. Isn't the ability "Speak with Plants" in D&D anyway? It is in GURPS.
