Game Notes: These vines are used as ropes and cables. They are generally 1 to 4 centimeters thick, and take damage like any living thing (in other words, they have wound levels like characters do). A Kashyy vine has a Strength dice rating equal to its thickness in centimeters plus one (for example, a vine three centimeters thick has a Strength rating of 4D). This rating is used to resist damage that is applied to the vine. If left attached to a tree, or if soaked in the proper nutrients for at least 8 hours a day, the vines will heal one wound level a day. If a cut vine is not soaked for longer than a week, its Strength dice drop by half and it will no longer be capable of healing naturally.
Background: Kshyy vines were plants which grew on the wroshyr trees of Kashyyyk. The Wookiees hung sacrifices from one such vine to feed a terentatek. These vines were self-repairing vines, which could not be damaged even by blasters.
Liftcars on Kashyyyk were held in place and moved vertically by kshyy vines. Various fungi and parasites, if unchecked, could damage or break the vines, but the cars employed repulsorlifts as a backup
