Target must make a DC 19 Dex save or take 8d8 fire damage and be restrained for 2 round. Battlefield Action: Magma Detonation Tell (End of Turn): The Pyroclast begins to glow molten red, steam rising in rapid bursts. Its maw cracks open with lava. Trigger (Start of Next Turn): Detonates a magma core in a 30 ft explosion of fire and stone: Creatures in the area must make a DC 18 Dex save or take 10d10 fire damage + 5d10 bludgeoning and be knocked 20 ft back. On a success, take half damage and no knockback. Lava pools cover the blast radius for 2 rounds, dealing 3d6 fire to creatures ending their turn there. Counter Options: Interrupt: A creature with Magma affinity can succeed a DC 20 Arcana check to discharge the build-up by targeting the Guardian with a spell that disrupts magical buildup. Mitigate: Stay outside the explosion. Control: If the Pyroclast is reduced to 0 MP or takes 20+ cold damage before its turn, the core destabilizes and fizzles out. Core Drop: 20% for the core to survive the death of the monster, if it does not survive it shatter, it pushes anyone who is in 5 ft of it 5 ft back and makes them prone. Anyone who is in 5 ft from the core on shattering regains half of the max MP the core has and anyone in 10 ft a quarter. Sentient Core: 20% for the core to have the beast's will in it.
