Briar patch

Useful Info

Briar patches are short lived obstacles created by thorn hunters and Fedhas' Wall of Briars ability. Although they won't attack you, briars are spiny - attacking them in melee causes you to take 5d4 damage. Like bushes, briars do not block ranged attacks. Briars created by thorn hunters will expire quickly after you kill their creator.

Tips & Tricks

• Ranged attacks and spells can be fired past briars. Penetrating attacks can damage both the briar patch and thorn hunter at the same time. Keep in mind that monsters can also attack you through briars.
• Reaching melee weapons can attack briars safely.
