Loading Weapon. Explosive gauntlets must be loaded before they can be used. The door breaker can only make one attack with a single gauntlet when they use an action, bonus action, or reaction to use it, even if they can normally make more attacks, unless they have another loaded gauntlet.

Specialized Weaponry. The door breaker’s attacks with its gauntlet have the breaker property, allowing them to deal double damage to objects and structures. They also have advantage on attack rolls against objects and structures, such as doors or barricades.

Smoky Sight. Door breakers do not suffer penalties to attack rolls , Perception checks, or other checks to navigate when engulfed in obscuring smoke.


ACTIONS

Multiattack.The door breaker attacks twice using its explosive gauntlets .

Explosive Gauntlets. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (3 bludgeoning + 3 (1d6) fire + (1d6) force) damage.

Clear the Way. The door breaker claps their gauntlets together, directing the force of the explosion in a 15 feet cone. Each creature in that area makes a DC 13 Strength saving throw , or is knocked prone , pushed back 15 feet, and takes 3 (1d6) fire damage and 3 (1d6) force damage.

BONUS ACTIONS

REACTIONS

Smoke Screen (Recharge 4–6). When hit by a ranged attack, the door breaker throws a bunch of burning rags on the floor, granting them three-quarters cover (+5 bonus to AC, Dexterity saving throws , and ability checks made to hide) until the beginning of their next turn.

Description

Walking Weapons. Picked from the toughest and burliest warriors, door breakers are deployed wherever the enemy is occupying a choke point. While they are often given high pay and special privileges to incentivize membership, door breakers rarely survive long enough to enjoy either.

Behavior

When faced with a locked door or defended entry points, door breakers are called in to open the fight up and gain entrance. They do this by using their explosive gauntlets directly on the door or utilizing Clear the Way on foes obstructing the entrance before rushing into the gaps.

Monster Type Description

Humanoids include a number of different intelligent, language-using bipeds of Small or Medium size. Humans and elves are humanoids, and so are orcs and goblins. Humanoids may employ magic but are not fundamentally magical—a characteristic that distinguishes them from bipedal, language-using fey, fiends, and other monsters. Humanoids have no inherent alignment, meaning that no humanoid ancestry is naturally good or evil, lawful or chaotic.
