Powder Charges in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Powder Charges
Explosive
Common
Deployable
Barrels full of explosive clay tied together by rope. They float in the water, detonating on impact with a Ship's hull. One Action Point may be spent to deploy the Powder Charges. When this item is used and until the end of the turn, a ship leaves a trail of aquatic mines in the space behind them. If a ship enters a space containing a mine, it detonates, dealing 1d8 bludgeoning damage and 1d8 fire damage to the ship per connected mine. This explosion removes all connected mines.
A creature or rowboat entering it's space can attempt to remove a Powder Charge. On a successful DC 17 Tinkerer's Tools check, the mine is removed, disconnecting it from neighboring charges. On a result of 11 or lower, the mine is disconnected but detonates, dealing it's damage to the ship or creature. On a result of 5 or lower, the removal fails and all connected mines detonate.
