Actions

Multiattack.

The adept makes three Unarmed Strike attacks or five Dart attacks.

Unarmed Strike.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. Once per turn, the adept can cause one of the following additional effects (choose one or roll a d4):

  • 1–2: Knock Down.. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
  • 3–4: Push.. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet directly away from the adept.
Dart.

Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage.

Reactions

Deflect Missile.

In response to being hit by a ranged weapon attack, the adept deflects the missile. The damage it takes from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + 3. If the damage is reduced to 0, the adept catches the missile if it's small enough to hold in one hand and the adept has a hand free.
