1 to 3

Frequency once per round

Effect The boggard dreadknot pummels each enemy in a 5-foot emanation with their clubs, with a DC 26 reflex save. The damage dealt depends on the number of actions.

1 2d6 bludgeoning damage

2 (3d6+10)[bludgeoning|options:area-damage] damage

3 (4d6+13)[bludgeoning|options:area-damage] damage

The boggard dreadknot unleashes a chorus of terrifying croaks. Any non-boggard within 30 feet becomes Frightened 1 unless they succeed at a DC 26 will save; those who critically succeed are temporarily immune for 1 minute.

The dreadknot draws javelins and launches a coordinated barrage. This barrage is a 10-foot burst within 30 feet that deals 4d6 piercing damage (DC 26 reflex save). When the dreadknot is reduced to 2 segments, this area decreases to a 5-foot burst.

Effects that target only animals or only humanoids may not work on the boggard dreadknot, subject to the GM's discretion.

A boggard dreadknot ignores difficult terrain caused by swamp terrain features.

The dreadknot's giant frogs lash out at each enemy in a 15-foot emanation with their tongues, requiring them to succeed at a DC 26 reflex save or become Grabbed. A creature grabbed in this way isn't Immobilized, but it can't move more than 15 feet from the dreadknot. A creature can sever one of the tongues with a Strike against AC 25 that deals at least 15 slashing damage. This doesn't deal damage to the dreadknot.
