Deluded Mob

The deluded mob is severely disconnected from reality. Diplomacy checks to Make an Impression or otherwise sway their worldview automatically fail.

Thresholds 50 (3 segments), 25 (2 segments)

Whenever a troop moves, you move one of its segments and the other segments follow behind it. At the end of the movement, you can group the other segments adjacent to the one you moved as you see fit, provided none of them moves farther than the moving segment. If you choose not to move the troop any distance, you can instead reshape the position of all the segments as long as one stays in place.

As they lose members, the deluded mob takes the opposition against them as proof that they're right, bolstering their resolve. The deluded mob gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Will saves at 50 or fewer Hit Points, or a +4 circumstance bonus at 25 HP or fewer.

1 to 3

Frequency once per round

Effect The deluded mob uses their fists, wooden planks, and anything else they can pick up to attack each enemy in a 5-foot emanation with fervor, if not coordination (DC 18 reflex save). The damage depends on the number of actions.

1 1d8 untyped damage

2 (1d8+6)[untyped|options:area-damage,action:cost:2] damage

3 (2d8+6)[untyped|options:area-damage,action:cost:3] damage

When they feel cornered, the mob lashes out more recklessly. While the deluded mob is flanked, Flail Desperately and Throw Detritus are DC 17 and deal an additional 2 damage per action spent on the activity.

The deluded mob hurls detritus in a 10-foot burst within 30 feet that deals 2d8 bludgeoning damage with a DC 18 reflex save. When the mob is reduced to 2 or fewer segments, this area decreases to a 5-foot burst.
