Chessmaster's Arsenal

Upon casting, select one type of chess piece to imbue with magic and provide a specific ability when used. Each piece can only be used once, disappearing after its ability is utilized or when the spell’s duration ends:

• Pawn: As a reaction when you take damage, you can summon a spectral pawn to intercept the attack. The pawn takes all the damage instead of you, and then it shatters, leaving you unharmed.
• Rook: As an action, throw the rook at a target within 30 feet, making a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the rook deals 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier in bludgeoning damage.
• Knight: Grants a +10 feet bonus to your movement speed for the 5 rounds, and you can move through the spaces of other creatures as if they were difficult terrain.
• Bishop: As an action, choose an ally within 30 feet. Their next attack roll gains a bonus equal to your spellcasting ability modifier, as the bishop guides their strike with strategic precision.
• Queen: As an action, make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet. On a hit, the queen deals 1d8 force damage and pushes the target up to 10 feet away from you.
• King: As an action, choose a creature within 30 feet and force it to make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you push the creature up to 15 feet away with a wave of force. This does not deal damage but can be used to strategically reposition the enemy.
