Grit

Grit is a passive feature that boosts the wearer's actions if they are severely injured.

Description

When the wearer has 50% Hit Points or less, they have an additional  Bonus Action.

Condition: Extra Bonus Action

 Extra Bonus Action

Duration: 1 turn

• Grants an additional  Bonus Action on this turn.

How to learn

Granted by the equipment:

• Helmet of Grit

Notes

• Temporary hit points are included in the calculation of base hit points required to (de)activate Grit, as well as the potential for the below listed bug.
  • For example, if the wearer has base hit points of 90, Grit activates once their hit points are reduced to 45 or lower. If they are at 45 hit points and then receive 14 temporary hit points, Grit deactivates and will reactivate once their total hit points fall to 45 or lower once again.
• The additional  Bonus Action granted by this helmet stacks with that from other sources.
• The additional bonus action granted by this helmet works with most abilities which use bonus actions (e.g.  Enraged Throw). However it does not work in conjunction with both  Fast Hands and  War Magic together to allow for a third weapon attack, using only bonus actions, after casting a cantrip.
  • Example 1: a level 3 Thief, level 7 Eldritch Knight, level 2 Warlock, who has both the Fast Hands and War Magic passives, casts  Eldritch Blast and obtains an extra bonus action from Grit; they can then cast  Hex and make 2 weapon attacks, but cannot forgo Hex and make three weapon attacks instead.
  • Example 2: a level 2 Rogue, level 8 Eldritch Knight, level 2 Warlock, who has only the War Magic passive, casts  Eldritch Blast and obtains an extra bonus action from Grit; they can then make two weapon attacks.
  • Example 3: a level 3 Thief, level 5 Berserker, level 4 Battle Master is in their second round of combat, is  Frenzied from round one, and obtains an extra bonus action from Grit; they can then make three  Enraged Throw attacks in addition to their two regular attacks.

Bugs

• Rather than only replenishing once per turn, Grit also activates in each instance upon which the wearer's hit total points are reduced to 50% or lower. Thus, it is possible for the wearer to gain multiple additional bonus actions in a turn by being healed above and then reduced again to 50% or less Hit Points.
