Hobgoblin Battalion

Thresholds 60 (3 segments), 30 (2 segments)

Whenever a troop moves, you move one of its segments and the other segments follow behind it. At the end of the movement, you can group the other segments adjacent to the one you moved as you see fit, provided none of them moves farther than the moving segment. If you choose not to move the troop any distance, you can instead reshape the position of all the segments as long as one stays in place.

1 to 3

Frequency once per round

Effect The battalion thrusts their spears at each enemy in a 5-foot emanation with a DC 21 reflex save. The damage depends on the number of actions.

1 (1d6+2)[slashing|options:area-damage] damage

2 (2d6+5)[slashing|options:area-damage] damage

3 (3d12+7)[slashing|options:area-damage] damage

The hobgoblin battalion's archers draw or reload their crossbows, then launch a ranged attack in the form of a volley. This volley is a 10-foot burst within 120 feet that deals 2d8 piercing damage with a DC 21 reflex save. When the hobgoblin battalion is reduced to 2 or fewer segments, this area is reduced to a 5-foot burst.

The battalion raises a perfect guard against explosions. It gains a +2 item bonus to AC and a +2 status bonus to Reflex saves until the start of its next turn.
