If the hoppin' jack moves at least 15 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a slam attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 4 (1d8) bludgeoning damage. False Appearance.

The hoppin' jack's long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 15 feet, with or without a running start. ACTIONSDeadly Leap. If the hoppin' jack jumps at least 15 feet as part of its movement, it can then use this action to land upright in a space that contains one or more other creatures. Each of those creatures must succeed on a DC 13 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be knocked prone and take 19 (4d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half the damage, isn't knocked prone, and is pushed 5 feet out of the hoppin' jack's space into an unoccupied space of the creature's choice. If no unoccupied space is with in range, the creature instead falls prone in the hoppin' jack's space. Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. REACTIONSBerserk Carve. When the hoppin' jack takes slashing damage, it retaliates by moving up to half its speed and making a slam attack. |
