Battle Field Actions

Battlefield Actions start their Tell phase at the end of a monster’s turn and arrive at their Resolution stage at the beginning of that monster’s next turn. The players have the whole Initiative order to deal with the Battlefield Action.

Mince. Chef Potato manifests a giant knife in his hand and a giant cutting board appears under the last creature that hit him.

• Tell: The boss raises its weapon, readying a devastating attack against anyone in front of it. Whenever a creature deals damage to the boss, the boss faces in the direction of the creature that attacked it, changing the area affected by their Cleave.
• Mitigation: The players might choose to have a particularly hardy character hold their attack until right before the boss’ turn to make sure the boss hits them, or have a ranged combatant hit the boss last while all other characters move away from the Cleave’s area of effect. They might also have a rogue character hit,disengage, and run away from the boss, allowing the boss to target the rogue while they remain out of the area of effect
• Resolution: If not mitigated, the boss Cleaves a 15-foot Cone area in the direction the boss is facing. Every creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d12 damage on a failure and half damage on a success.

Tantrum. Chef potato stomps his foot repeatedly on the ground.

• Tell: The boss punches the ground with all its might, and cracks begin to snake outwards from the impact. Energy shines through these cracks, brightest and strongest at the epicenter of the impact, and begins growing in power. The closer a creaturestands to the impact, the stronger this energy seems to be, and the more the ground cracks and trembles.
• Mitigation: The players must move as far as possible from the impact to reduce the damage taken when the battlefield finally erupts.
• Resolution: The ground erupts, consuming the battlefield in a blast of energy, its effects more or less lethal depending on how close a creature is to the impact. Creatures standing less than 20 feet away from the impact must make a Dexterity saving throw, 4d6 force damage on a failure and half damage on a success. Creatures standing 25 feet or more away from the impact must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking half damage on a failure and no damage on a success.
