You place a chess set on the floor and smash it into the floor with an arcane focus.
the floor becomes a chess board, your party chess pieces, your enemies too.
you play a full game of chess, your material number based on your level and strength stat (e.g. barbarian with a strength of 20+6 is a king or queen).
if an enemy is defeated they take 2D20 of force damage as they get sent flying out the board. However, they can't interact with the board or the players inside until the game is done.
if a teammate is defeated, they take 2D4 of force damage. However, they can't interact with the board or the players inside until the game is done.
all combat outside the game acts as normal. If the king was to die, 2 things may happen: if an enemy king is defeated they die, fully die. However, if a teammate king was to die, they take 1PercentileDice damage. Then after the game ends, the chess board cracks and breaks.
after your piece is determined, you play as the chess piece, playing fully by chess rules, however you still play by initiative; meaning that the enemies can all play consecutively.
