[MECHANICS] Dungeon! - Simple Large-Scale Combat

Simple Large-Scale Combat

Large-scale battles should never be fully played out with each individual unit having a full Turn. Instead, choose which units are important, likely the party of player characters and an enemy party of important NPCs. These units have Turns as normal, but they are not always in combat. Instead, treat the battlefield like a dungeoncrawl, with zones instead of rooms. Certain zones will be impassible or compromised due to the enemy's control or the clashing of ally and enemy foot soldiers, while other zones may contain battlefield events such as finding a wounded soldier or running into enemies.

"Dungeon" Turns and Attrition Rolls

Continuing to treat the battlefield like a dungeon, Dungeon Turns should occur every 10 minutes. The Encounter Die should be rolled just like in a dungeon. Additionally, another type of roll should be made at this time... an Attrition Roll. The GM rolls 1d100 twice, adding the total number of allied troops to one roll and the total number of enemy troops to the other. The side with the lower value loses 1d20 + 10 troops while the side with the higher value only loses 1d20 troops. In the case of a tie, both sides lose 1d20 troops. Once a side has lost over half of their troops, they are likely to consider retreat.

Unit Strength

As show above with Attrition Rolls, most units are effectively only worth 1 point of manpower when it comes to large-scale combat. However, other creatures, effects, or mechanisms may be worth more than a single troop is. Your GM may opt to use the examples below to add onto the relative strength of either side of large-scale combat.

• Advantageous Terrain: Worth 30 units.
• Cavalry: Worth 10 units.
• Monster, Dragon, etc.: Worth units equal to its CR.
• Siege Engine, Catapult, etc.: Worth 20 units.
• Stronghold, Defensive Walls, etc.: Worth 50 units.

Ending Large-Scale Battles

There are a few ways large-scale battles can end. As mentioned above, it is likely that a battle will end with one side retreating. Unless this battle is the all-or-nothing last battle of a war, it is unlikely that every single unit will fight to the death. Once one side retreats, the battle ends.

Another reason to consider retreat is because of the threat of Capture. When an Attrition Roll is made, one side may attempt to capture the other side's remaining units. This can only be attempted if the targeted side has lost over half of their troops, and if the Capturing side outnumbers the targeted side by double the number of units or more. If a Capture is attempted, half of the targeted side's remaining troops become captured and the other half are forced to flee, ending the battle.

Finally, be it through the Encounter Die on a Dungeon Turn or by reaching a specific zone of the battlefield, facing off against the enemy party can have a great impact on the battle. If the enemy party flees or is defeated, the enemy army will retreat, ending the battle.

[MECHANICS] Dungeon! - Dungeoncrawling

Dungeoncrawling

This post is kind of "the name of the game" so to speak. If you want procedural rules to adventure through dungeons in a random way, this is the post for you.

Dungeoncrawling is very simple. The GM should have an idea of what the dungeon should be like. This could be a loose idea they can improvise off of, or a fully mapped out dungeon with multiple floors and many rooms. In the case your GM has neither, they can refer to one of the many free random dungeon generators found online. A few can be seen below.

• DNGNGEN by Kyle Druid
• OSR Random Generator by Derik A. Badman
• Random Dungeon Generator by donjon

Dungeon Encounters

As the party traverses a dungeon, the GM may have predetermined encounters placed in specific locations, or they may opt to use the Encounter Die, similar to a Hex Crawl. This more random approach is what I recommend. This does include the extra work of making an encounter list or encounter table, but it is worth the 5 minutes of prep that will take.

If using the Encounter Die, the GM should roll 1d6 each time the party enters a new room or important location within the Dungeon. On a 1, the GM chooses an Encounter from their list or rolls on their table. On a 6, there is a different outcome. Usually, I recommend treating a 6 as a change in momentum. If the party has already faced many hardships in the dungeon, a 6 could be some good luck, such as finding treasure or a pool of healing waters. On the other side of things, a 6 could turn a cakewalk of a dungeoncrawl into a deadly combat with a tough monster.

Dungeon Turns

Finally, Dungeon Turns are an important mechanic regardless of if you use random or pre-generated dungeons. Every 10 minutes that pass within the dungeon, the GM should take a Dungeon Turn. Additionally, you may time these 10 minutes in the real world on your phone or some other timer. I prefer using a real-world timer, as it breaks up the monotony and discourages players from wasting time or slacking off.

When a Dungeon Turn occurs, the GM and players each have a couple of tasks to quickly cover. Players should account for Torches that may finish burning, Spells that may end, etc. The GM should account for any NPCs or Wandering Monsters that may also be traversing the Dungeon. The GM should also roll the Encounter Die during this time. On a 1, a Wandering Monster comes across the party, or the party comes across a trap, etc. This keeps the game moving by applying pressure, big or small, on the party. On a 6, it is recommended that the GM treat it as a change in momentum, as described earlier in this post.

*Darkness and Light (Rules Reminder)

In Dungeon!, darkness a dangerous aspect of adventuring and makes sources of light important tools.

While in darkness, a Character has Disadvantage on Attack Rolls and Saves. This does not apply to Monsters, unless the GM rules that the Monster would be impeded by the lack of light. For example, a Wolf would not be impeded, but a Bandit would be.

The 5-Room Dungeon

As a quick note, consider looking up "The 5-Room Dungeon." This pdf by Roleplaying Tips outlines the idea well. I personally do not use this idea very often, as I feel overuse of the concept makes dungeons incredibly predictable and same-y. However, it is a great introduction to creating dungeons from scratch, especially if you are a new GM. Use the outline of The 5-Room Dungeon as a jumping off point but be careful to not rely on it or overuse it.

[MECHANICS] Dungeon! - Wilderness Travel, Hex Crawls, and Point Crawls

Wilderness Travel in Dungeon!

To simulate travel, Dungeon! highly suggests that you use a hex crawl, or at least a point crawl. There is a common belief that travel in TTRPG's is boring. If your travel is boring, that likely means you are doing it wrong. Travel shouldn't be a 3-paragraph passage where the GM talks about the lore of the world, why the mountains are a certain shape, or how cold out it is. Why? Because most people find it boring.

Travel segments also shouldn't be railroaded sections of the game where player characters must move from point A to point B and encounter X, Y, and Z things that the GM has set up. Why? Because most people find it boring.

So, what should travel be?

Simply put, travel should be unpredictable. One day could be calm and eventless, only taking 1 minute or so to fully play out. The next day could be a dangerous encounter with a magical beast from which the party barely escapes alive. Now that's exciting. The mechanics below detail how to accomplish dangerous and exciting wilderness travel. If you still wish to hand-waive travel, that is your and your players' loss.

Hex Crawls

When designing a Hex Crawl, there are a few steps. Firstly, find or create a map. Below are a few free resources to aide in doing so.

• Hexer by Blog of Holding
• Hextml by playtest (patreon)
• Hex Map Maker by Molotov Cockatiel
• Randomized Hex Crawl Generator by Gnome Stew

Personally, I like to draw my maps by hand and then import them to a program like Gimp, where I can use overlays to create my hexes.

Also, remember that each hex is effectively a 5-mile (or 8 kilometer) radius. 5 miles is quite a big area. Many things can be present in a single hex.

Once you have your map, you may then begin to place important locations, objectives, etc. on the map. Don't worry about fleshing out each individual settlement or dungeon. Just have a rough idea that you can expand upon once the party decides to travel there. The beauty of not handwaving travel is that travel takes time. This gives you, the GM, time to prepare things while the players still get to go on fun adventures.

Your map will slowly fill out more over time, and that's ok. Not everything should be set in stone from Session 0 anyway.

Encounters

Once content with your map and its features, you may proceed to the final step: random encounter tables. Regardless of if you like random encounters or not, you should read this step. You should still prep a list of encounters to fall back on, both combat and non-combat, so that the players have something to do during travel. If you do like random encounters, simply create your list in a numbered format, likely on a d20 table or d100 table. Once you have used an encounter on the table, you should consider replacing it. Some encounters might make sense to occur multiple times, while others will not. Use your best judgement for your campaign.

Calendar

With the core of your Hex Crawl created, you should consider a few additional steps. Creating a calendar for your campaign may seem excessive, but it is truly both easy to do and pricelessly valuable. I recommend using one of the free options below to help you create it.

• Fantasy Calendar Generator by donjon
• Fantasy Calendar Generator by The Hypertext d20 SRD

Weather

A final extra step should include making a Weather Table. You may choose to roll in advance for each day on your calendar, or you may simply roll each new day. You may use a Weather Flower, like this one by Goblin's Henchman, or simply use the weighted table I like to use as shown below. My table is not as realistic as a Weather Flower, but my players have never noticed a difference.

 

Step 1. Roll 2d4 to determine type of Weather present in the party's current hex. The outcome will work in almost every environment or season but will likely change in description and flavor. 

2. Extreme Precipitation (Moving to a new Hex costs 1 additional Movement Point)

3. Precipitation

4. Cloudy

5. Scattered cloud cover

6. No cloud cover

7. Sunny/Windy

8. Extreme Heat/Extreme Winds (Moving to a new Hex costs 1 additional Movement Point) 

Step 2. Roll 1d4 to determine the size of the Weather System, if applicable (i.e., rainstorms, snowstorms, clouds, etc.). On a 1, it is confined to that hex. On a 2, it is 2 hexes thick, etc. Then roll 1d6 to determine the direction the Weather System is moving, with 1 being north, 2 being northeast, 3 being southeast, etc. For each Movement Point the party uses (or for every 2 hours that pass), the Weather System moves 1 hex in that direction, possibly moving with the party.

Movement Points and the Encounter Die

Finally, as you may have guessed based on the Weather Table above, you must learn the mechanics of a Hex Crawl such as Movement Points and the Encounter Die. After finishing a Long Rest, the party gains 5 Movement Points. These Movement Points can be used to traverse hexes. There are 3 general types of hexes, which can be seen below.

• Normal (1 MP. Common. Includes things like grassy fields, open roads, etc.)
• Rough (2 MP. Somewhat common. Includes things like hills, forests, deserts, etc.)
• Near Impassible (3 MP. Rare. Includes things like mountains, crags, rivers, etc.)

The GM should decide what biomes (or what color or number of each type of hex) constitute each type of hex. Normal hexes only cost 1 Movement Point to traverse, while Rough hexes cost 2 Movement Points and Near Impassible hexes cost 3. For each Movement Point used, 2 hours of time passes. If a party does not have enough Movement Points to traverse a hex, they may either stop traveling for the day or they may Push Themselves. If they Push Themselves, they become Exhausted, gaining Disadvantage on all d20 rolls, all Skill Checks, and being limited to 3 Movement Points per Long Rest instead of 5. After finishing a Long Rest, an Exhausted Character may Save to recover.

As for the Encounter Die, the GM rolls 1d6 each time the party traverses a hex. On a 1, there is an encounter. If the GM is using random encounter tables, they will then roll for a random encounter. If the GM is not using random encounters, they will simply choose an encounter from their encounter list. GMs should also not be afraid to improvise new encounters depending on the terrain or other situational effects. If a 6 is rolled on the Encounter Die, there is instead a different challenge. The GM may feel free to make this anything they can think of, but a great fallback is either a Lost Check or a Skill Challenge.

For a Lost Check, one party member must roll a Survival Skill Check. If the party member succeeds, the party continues as normal. If the party member fails, however, the GM moves the players back to the previous hex and rolls another 1d6, where 1 is north, 2 is northeast, 3 is southeast, etc. The party is then moved in the rolled direction instead of their originally intended direction. This movement consumes Movement Points equal to the hex they end up in, not the originally intended hex.

For a Skill Challenge, the GM thinks up a situation where the party must use Skill Checks to bypass an obstacle or escape peril. This could be anything from crossing a frozen creek to evading a landslide to simply trying to persuade a Troll to let them cross a bridge. The players then roll 1 Skill Check each. They may be creative with how they use their Skills to potentially solve the problem, but the GM must approve these attempts. Once a character has attempted a certain Skill, pass or fail, they cannot use that Skill again this Skill Challenge. Once the group reaches a certain number of successes or failures, or once the group has logically solved the problem via their Skill Checks and the GM's discretion, the Skill Challenge ends in either success or failure. The GM may decide the rewards or consequences of a successful or failed Skill Challenge. Some good example rewards are +1 Movement Point or some treasure, while some good example consequences could be -1 Movement Point or that each party member becomes Exhausted, as detailed in the Movement Points section.

Secret Locations

If you place secret locations on your hex map, you must make a couple of choices. You may either choose that the players automatically find these locations by traversing that hex, or you may choose that they must encounter it. From there, you have one final choice. If the party traverses a hex with a secret location, you may have the party find that location if the encounter die comes up as a 1, instead of using your encounter table. Alternatively, you may decide that secret locations are so well hidden that the party must Search the Hex to find them. Searching the Hex takes Movement Points equal to the hex's normal cost, and the party does not leave the hex. Additionally, it guarantees an encounter on the Encounter Die, or the discovery of a secret location.

Point Crawls

When designing a Point Crawl, you are effectively designing a Hex Crawl with more restrictions and less structure. Simply find or draw a map of the region, labeling details and adding locations as you see fit. You should then create paths between details and locations, deciding how many Movement Points are required to fully travel one direction along that path.

From there, a Point Crawl basically becomes a Hex Crawl. For each Movement Point used, roll the Encounter Die. For each new day, roll for Weather. A calendar is still very useful even in a Point Crawl. Almost all the mechanics of a Hex Crawl (except for Lost Checks) are still used, simply the map looks different and functions a little differently.

The Average Adventuring Day

With all of these details in mind, the average adventuring day out in the wilderness, whether you are playing a hex crawl or a point crawl, should be similar to the adventuring day outlined below. It does not have to be as exact or even follow the same patterns or times, but the breakdown below provides a realistic schedule to follow.

Midnight to 6 AM: Long Resting

6 AM to 7 AM: Breakfast/Preparations

7 AM to 11 AM: 2 Movement Points

11 AM to Noon: Lunch/Short Rest

Noon to 6 PM: 3 Movement Points

6 PM to 10 PM: Dinner/Downtime

10 PM to Midnight: Long Resting

At 1st Level, you have trained to track and hunt certain creatures. At the beginning of your Turn, you may choose to Mark a target within Long Range. The target will remain Marked for a number of hours equal to your Ranger Level or until you use this Ability on a new target. For the duration, you have Advantage on any Skill Checks you make in order to track or hunt the target (such as a Survival Skill Check to notice tracks or a Stealth Skill Check to sneak up on the target) and you deal +1 Damage to the target. Once you have used this Ability, you must finish a Short Rest before you may use it again. Finally, you may use 1 Spell Point to use this Ability again even if you haven't finished a Short Rest yet.

At 2nd Level, your experience with nature has granted you the ability to Cast Spells. You learn 2 Spells and you gain 2 Spell Points (SP). Using 1 Spell Point, you may cast any Spell you know. You regain used Spell Points after a Long Rest. Finally, you deal an extra +1 Damage to Marked targets.

At 5th Level, your specialized path teaches you a new combat tactic. You gain the option below that matches the path you took at 3rd Level.

• Archer: As an Action, you may use a Ranged or Thrown Weapon to launch a volley of Attacks, ignoring the Load attribute. Choose a target within Medium Range. That target and all other targets within Close Range of them take 3d4 Damage. You must use 1 piece of Ammo or 1 Thrown Weapon for each target.
• Beast Master: You gain the service of a Companion. Your Companion takes on any appearance you choose, but its Stats remain the same regardless of appearance. Its Stats can be seen at the end of this post, and its Stats improve with your Ranger Level. In Combat, your Companion will always take its Turn during your Turn, as you must give it commands. Finally, your Companion benefits from your Damage bonus against Marked targets.
• Forager: Once per Round and on your Turn, you may attempt a single Weapon Attack as a Free Action.

• Wildman: Twice per Round and on your Turn, you may attempt a single Weapon Attack as a Free Action.

At 10th Level, your skills as a Ranger are spoken of at many a tavern. A group of 1d6 + 10 1st Level Rangers reach out to you and offer to aide you; you may either create a Hunter's Guild or establish a Sanctuary. Details for both options are below.

• Hunter's Guild: The group of Rangers will build your Hunter's Guild in a valid location over the course of 50 days. Once completed, you will control the Guild and its goals. Once up and running, your Hunter's Guild will generate 3d6 Gold per day. Finally, you and your allies may successfully rest within your Guild in half the normal time due to its accommodations.
• Sanctuary: The group of Rangers will find a valid nearby location to protect as a Sanctuary. The Sanctuary will be a 5-mile radius (or single hex) of wilderness that you and the other Rangers seek to protect. The Sanctuary takes no time to build, but it does not generate income. Instead, it generates 1d4 random Consumable Items per day. Additionally, there is almost always something to do in the Sanctuary, such as a monster to slay, poachers to chase off, or treasure to hunt for.

HP: +1d10 each Level, minimum of +5

AC: +1 each Level

AB: +1 each Level

Save: -1 each 2nd Level

Skills: +1 Skill Pip each Level

At 1st Level, you devote yourself to a sacred oath. Work with your GM to decide what tenets and anathema your oath may have. Generally, a simple oath to remain Good or Lawful will do the trick. Additionally, you may Smite those who stand against your oath. Choose an Elemental Damage type. When you deal Damage to a target, you may use this Ability to deal an additional 1d4 Damage of the chosen type. Once you have used this Ability, you must finish a Short Rest before you may use it again. Finally, you may use 1 Spell Point to use this Ability again even if you haven't finished a Short Rest yet.

At 2nd Level, your devotion has granted you the ability to Cast Spells. You learn 2 Spells and you gain 2 Spell Points (SP). Using 1 Spell Point, you may cast any Spell you know. You regain used Spell Points after a Long Rest. Finally, your 1st Level Smite Ability now deals 1d6 Damage instead of only 1d4 Damage.

At 3rd Level, your devotion grows stronger and modifies your oath. You may choose one of the options below.

• Crusader: Your 1st Level Smite Ability may now be used once per combat instead of only once per Short Rest. You may still use it multiple times per combat at the cost of Spell Points.
• Healer: As an Action, you may use 1 or more Spell Points to Heal yourself or an ally within Close Range. The Healing provided is equal to (10 x the Spell Points used).
• Protector: Once per Round, you may reduce the Damage an ally in Close Range takes by 1d6. They take at least 1 Damage.
• Warder: Whenever you use a Spell Point, you may also provide yourself or an ally within Short Range with a protective ward. The ward has 5 HP and will take Damage for its target prior to their HP taking Damage. The ward will last until it has been reduced to 0 HP, or until 1 minute has passed. When the ward is reduced to 0 HP, any excess Damage is applied to the intended target as normal.

At 4th Level, you learn 1 additional Spell and gain 1 additional Spell Point. Finally, your 1st Level Smite Ability now deals 1d8 Damage instead of only 1d6 Damage.

At 5th Level, your devotion has bolstered your combat. Once per Round and on your Turn, you may attempt a single Weapon Attack as a Free Action.

At 6th Level, you learn 1 additional Spell and gain 1 additional Spell Point. Finally, your 1st Level Smite Ability now deals 1d10 Damage instead of only 1d8 Damage.

At 7th Level, your oath has become fully realized. You gain the option below that matches the path you took at 3rd Level.

• Warder: Targets of your wards have Advantage on Saves while the ward is in effect.

At 8th Level, you learn 1 additional Spell and gain 1 additional Spell Point. Finally, your 1st Level Smite Ability now deals 1d12 Damage instead of only 1d10 Damage.

At 9th Level, your oath magnifies your combat. Twice per Round and on your Turn, you may attempt a single Weapon Attack as a Free Action.

At 10th Level, your devotion is praised by aspiring Paladins and experienced Paladins alike. A local noble reaches out to you and offers you a choice; you may either create your own Enforcer's Guild or ascend to Royalty. Details for both options are below.

• Enforcer's Guild: The noble hires 1d10 + 30 1st Level Paladins to join the ranks of your new Enforcer's Guild. They will build your Enforcer's Guild in a valid location over the course of 50 days. Once completed, you will control the Guild and its goals. Once up and running, your Enforcer's Guild will generate 3d6 Gold per day, likely via fines and bail postings. Finally, you and your allies may successfully rest within your Guild in half the normal time due to its accommodations.
• Royalty: The noble puts in a good word with local royalty and arranges you into a royal marriage. The marriage will occur within 50 days. Once married, you will receive 5d6 Gold per day from your new royal in-laws and you will be gifted a home to live in with your new spouse at the nearest royal castle, stronghold, city, etc. Finally, you and your allies may successfully rest within your home in half the normal time due to its accommodations.

[CLASS] Dungeon! - The Monk

The Monk

HP: +1d8 each Level, minimum of +4

AC: +1 each Level

AB: +1 each Level

Save: -1 each Level

Skills: +1 Skill Pip each Level

At 1st Level, you have started down a path of martial arts mastery. If you are not wearing Armor or wielding a Shield, you gain +2 AC and your Unarmed Attacks deal 1d6 Damage instead of only 1d4 Damage. Finally, you may replace the Damage die of any Weapon you use with your Unarmed Attack's Damage die.

At 2nd Level, your training has allowed you to become more practiced with a certain Weapon, making it your Monk Weapon. Choose 1 type of Weapon, such as a Longbow, Staff, or even your Unarmed Attacks. You deal +1 Damage with your Monk Weapon.

At 3rd Level, your path has come to a crossroads. Choose one of the Monk Ways below.

• Way of the Body: If you are not wearing Armor or wielding a Shield, you gain an additional +1 AC.
• Way of the Mind: Your path has led you to meditation. During Short and Long Rests, you may meditate to gain additional benefits. Meditating will double the Healing you receive from a Short or Long Rest, and it will grant you 1 Fate Point. You may only have 1 Fate Point at a time. After a d20 roll, you may use 1 Fate Point to reroll it. You must use the new roll.
• Way of the Spirit: Your spirit becomes intertwined with the Ki of the world around you. You gain the ability to Cast Spells. You learn 2 Spells and you gain 2 Spell Points (SP). Using 1 Spell Point, you may cast any Spell you know. You regain used Spell Points after a Long Rest.

At 4th Level, you become more experienced with your Monk Weapon. You deal an additional +1 Damage with your Monk Weapon. Finally, your Unarmed Attacks now deal 1d8 Damage instead of only 1d6 Damage, if you are not wearing Armor or wielding a Shield.

At 5th Level, you advance your martial arts. Once per Round and on your Turn, you may attempt a single Unarmed Attack as a Free Action. Finally, your path augments your martial arts skill. You gain the option below that matches the Way you chose at 3rd Level.

• Way of the Body: If you are not wearing Armor or wielding a Shield, you gain an additional +1 AC.
• Way of the Mind: When you land a Critical Hit, you regain 1 Fate Point, if you do not already have one.
• Way of the Spirit: You may replace your Unarmed Attacks with blasts of Ki. These blasts have the Weapon attribute Ranged, and they deal Radiant Damage or Necrotic Damage (your choice when you gain this Ability) instead of physical Damage. They count as Unarmed Attacks for you, meaning they can benefit from your Unarmed Attack's increased Damage die and they can be used in place of your "Once per Round" free Unarmed Attack.

At 6th Level, you become more diverse with your Monk Weapons. You may choose a 2nd Monk Weapon. Also, you deal an additional +1 Damage with your Monk Weapons.

At 7th Level, your path concludes. You gain the option below that matches the Way you chose at 3rd Level.

• Way of the Body: If you are not wearing Armor or wielding a Shield, you gain an additional +1 AC.
• Way of the Mind: When you use a Fate Point to reroll, the reroll has Advantage.
• Way of the Spirit: You gain 2 additional Spell Points and learn 2 additional Spells.

At 8th Level, you have mastered your Monk Weapons. While you are conscious, you cannot be disarmed of your Monk Weapons. Also, you deal an additional +1 Damage with your Monk Weapons. Finally, your Unarmed Attacks now deal 1d10 Damage instead of only 1d8 Damage, if you are not wearing Armor or wielding a Shield.

At 9th Level, you have mastered your martial art of choice. Twice per Round and on your Turn, you may attempt a single Unarmed Attack as a Free Action. Finally, you deal an additional +1 Damage with your Monk Weapons.

At 10th Level, you have become a mysterious figure in martial arts history. Many young Monks begin to seek you out in the hope that you will train them. This leads you to a choice; you may either create a Monastery or a Secret Technique. Details for both options are below.

• Monastery: 1d10 + 20 1st Level Monks offer to help you create a Monastery where you could teach martial arts. They will build your Monastery in a valid location over the course of 50 days. Once completed, you will lead the Monastery and these Monks will do their best to learn from you. Once up and running, your Monastery will not generate income, but local settlements may seek protection from you. For each settlement you protect, the Monastery will receive 1d6 Gold per day in donations. Finally, you and your allies may successfully rest within your Monastery in half the normal time due to its accommodations.
• Secret Technique: Work with your GM to create a complex or dangerous technique that you have mastered. A simple guideline for this technique is that it should be a standard Attack that allows you to either automatically benefit from a Maneuver (such as Flanking or a Grapple) or allows you to Cast a Spell, all as part of a single Attack. A couple of examples can be seen below. Once you have attempted your Secret Technique, you must finish a Long Rest before you may attempt it again.
• Quaking-Earth Palm: On a hit, the target also suffers the effects of a Trip, falling Prone automatically.
• Lightning Blows: On a hit, the user Casts the Spell Haste on themselves.

Finally, you and your allies may successfully rest within your Laboratory in half the normal time due to its accommodations.
