Actions

Actions

Rusted Tool Strike

  Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.   Hit: 8 slashing or piercing damage.  

Heavy Shove

  The Plague-Touched Farmer attempts to shove one creature within 5 feet.   The target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away and knocked prone.

Reactions

Dead Weight

  When the Plague-Touched Farmer is reduced to 0 hit points, it may immediately fall into a creature within 5 feet.   That creature must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.   This reaction does not trigger if the Farmer is destroyed by Holy or radiant damage.

A stronger plague victim, often raised from a farmer, wagon hand, or laborer. These undead still carry tools from life: pitchforks, axes, grain hooks, shovels, or broken wagon parts.   Their bodies are swollen with rot and blackened veins. They are slower than living warriors, but far stronger than they should be.
