I could just imagine for 'Rooting Grasp' the character thrusting their hands towards the ground, with the vines snaking off their arms, striking the ground then rushing forward to grapple the target.

I don't really see how you can use plants to protect yourself. Because... they're plants. You can cut them with a sword, and shoot bullets through them; They're not very "protective" of the user.
I guess you can argue that they're "Super plants!" or something, or maybe just really hard-to-break plants. I just don't see it as very practical.
But then again, some of the armor sets we do have aren't very practical either. Fire Armor and Electric Armor come to mind. I still don't understand how you protect yourself with fire...

Well with fire if someone punches you I suppose it lessens the damage because their touching you. Same for elect armor. The fire can be extremely hot so with each slice it slightly melts the blade as well causing the dullness of the blade to do less damage.

Alternately, look to all the societies which used wood in some form or another as armor. The japanese come to mind immediately. The most common footsoldiery of the 1400s-1500s would be wearing lacquered Ashigaru armor made primarily of wood and leather.

Since this thread is actually getting linked to in a few other threads I'd like to suggest a "Sticky Status" or that it be moved whole-hog into a new "POwerset Suggestion" sub-forum for the Devs to tinker with.
Maybe make a voting or polling thing... grr... now it's another suggestion. BRB!

I don't know how to get a sticky on this thread though

Wholly unnecessary. Unless there's ongoing discussion on the subject...
