How to learn

Used by creatures: Water Myrmidon

Notes

• The three projectiles can be targeted independently.
• A separate attack roll is made for each target hit in the explosion radius by each projectile.
• Allies can suffer collateral damage from the explosion, but it does not damage the myrmidon itself.
• This ability uses a ranged spell attack roll. The spellcasting ability for a myrmidon summoned with  Conjure Elemental: Water Myrmidon is Intelligence, but it has an Intelligence score of just 8. As a result, this ability will be considerably less accurate when used by a summoned myrmidon than when used by a druid with  Wild Shape: Water Myrmidon.
