Impact Dial

Impact Dials are some of the rarest and most dangerous dials to use in combat, at least if you are someone who can't take the recoil.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

  • As a reaction to being hit by a weapon attack that deals bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, the user can absorb the impact of that attack, making it so they don’t take any damage. This dial can only store 1 attack at a time. (The user is not aware of the amount of damage stored by the attack)

  •  
  • After absorbing a single attack, the user, as an action, can release that impact by making one unarmed strike roll against a target. If the attack hits, the target takes the damage that was absorbed in the form of force damage. However, half of the damage being sent out is also dealt to the user, rounded up.

  •  
  • An impact Dial can only take 3 hits before it loses all of its uses. These uses can be repaired with a dial kit check, DC 16, during a long rest. If you expend the last use, roll a d20. On a 1, it is destroyed.
