Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (5e Equipment)
MOABHuge object A Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb, also known as the "Mother of All Bombs", is one of the most powerful non-nuclear explosive devices ever made, exploding with the force of 11 tons of TNT. It is intended to be dropped by parachute from an aircraft onto a point directly below the aircraft. Once it reaches a certain elevation above the ground, it generates a massive explosion that fills a 480-foot radius sphere. Before it can be detonated, the MOAB must be armed. It takes one action to arm the MOAB, and one action to detonate it. Detonate: At the beginning of the detonator's next turn, the MOAB explodes in a 1-mile radius sphere and is destroyed. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving through, taking an amount of damage determined by their distance from the MOAB using the following table and be blinded and deafened for 1 minute on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that is blinded or deafened by an exploding MOAB can retry this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending this effect early on a success. |
