Description:
Kibas uses his superior strength to launch Jinx at a target or area. Jinx curls into a compact form, mimicking a cannonball, to maximize impact and reduce air resistance.
Requirements:
1. Jinx (The Pirate Jinx) and Kibas must be adjacent to each other on the battlefield.
2. Both must agree to initiate Bandit's Launch on their turn.
3. Jinx must be willing and able to be thrown.
Mechanics:
1. Initiation: On their turn, Kibas uses his action to pick up and throw Jinx. Kibas makes a Strength (Athletics) check to determine the accuracy and distance of the throw.
2. Flight: Jinx travels through the air towards the target. The distance he can be thrown is 5 times Kibas's Strength modifier in feet. If Kibas's Strength (Athletics) check exceeds a DC of 15, Jinx lands exactly where intended. If the check is below 15, the DM determines Jinx's landing spot, potentially causing him to land short or veer off course.
3. Impact: Upon landing, Jinx performs a tuck and roll, coming up ready for combat. He can immediately use his action to perform an attack with advantage due to the surprise and force of his entry. If Jinx attacks on the same turn he lands, he deals an extra 1d6 damage due to the momentum.
4. Risks and Rewards: If Kibas's throw is significantly off-target (Athletics check fails by 5 or more), Jinx takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage from a rough landing. If the attack on landing is a critical hit, Jinx can either push the target back 10 feet or knock them prone (target makes a Strength saving throw against Jinx's Attack roll).
Cooldown: Bandit's Launch can be used once every three encounters or once per long rest, depending on the DM's discretion, to keep it balanced and special.
"With a roguish grin, Jinx nods to Kibas, signaling the start of their daring maneuver. "Let's give 'em a show they won't forget, big guy!" he shouts. Kibas, with calculated precision, bends to scoop up the lithe Rakin rogue. The tavern crowd's murmurs turn into a crescendo of gasps and cheers as Kibas swings his arm, launching Jinx through the air like a missile. The Pirate Jinx, spinning gracefully, lands amidst his startled foes with the force of a tempest, rapier flashing as he rolls into a crouch. "Surprise!" he exclaims, his blade singing as it strikes with the momentum of his flight, leaving his adversaries reeling before they can even draw their weapons."
