ACTION ORIENTED OPTIONS
Action oriented monsters are a great way to spice up an
encounter. They can add an extra layer of challenge and
engagement into any game. We have included a few
options below that you can add into an already made
monster block and use at your table!
These actions were made to be used at any tier of play
within SW5e. To support this, actions that deal damage or
require a DC have an X in place of the number. When
using these blocks, you are able to determine what
DC/damage would be a fun challenge for your table. Keep
in mind that adding these actions to an existing enemy
may have an a ect on its Challenge Rating and to adjust
accordingly.
May the Force be with you!
