Notes

• Hits all enemies, friendly NPCs, and objects within a 2 m (7 ft) radius along the charge path.
• This action triggers  Extra Attack and can be used with Extra Attack.
• Primal Stampede is coded as a melee, unarmed attack. However, rather than using the typical UnarmedDamage variable, Primal Stampede does a fixed 1d4 + Strength modifier Bludgeoning damage. Because of this, various other effects may not behave as expected.
  • Items and features that add a bonus to melee unarmed attack rolls apply to Primal Stampede. Examples include the attack roll components of  Tavern Brawler and the  Gloves of Crushing. Items and features that add a bonus to all attack rolls also apply to Primal Stampede. Examples include the attack roll components of  Legacy of the Masters and  Mutilated Carapace.
  • Items and features that add a bonus to unarmed damage do not apply to Primal Stampede. Examples include, ironically, the  Rage: Elk Heart damage bonus as well as the damage components of Tavern Brawler and the Gloves of Crushing. Items and features that add a damage bonus to all (relevant) damage do apply to Primal Stampede. Examples include the  Shadow-Cloaked Ring,  Overloaded With Synaptic Power (from  Psionic Overload), and the damage component of Mutilated Carapace.
  • Whether other non-attack-roll, non-damage-bonus effects apply to Primal Stampede depends upon how they are coded. To apply to Primal Stampede, the effect either needs to be so general that it would apply to any type of attack or damage, or it needs to apply to melee unarmed attacks without checking for unarmed damage.
    • Examples include: the  Bleeding effect from the  Helldusk Gloves, because that effect applies whenever you deal damage; the  Soul Catching effect (but not the damage bonus) from the  Gloves of Soul Catching, because that effect applies whenever you deal damage with an unarmed attack; and accumulating  Lightning Charges from  The Sparkle Hands, because that effect applies to all unarmed attacks that hit.
