Saving Throw
DEX · half damage

You throw a heavy arc at a creature within range. The first target makes a Dexterity saving throw, taking 10d8 lightning damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. The arc then jumps to up to three further creatures within 30 feet of the previous one, each taking one die less damage than the one before it. The arc cannot jump to the same creature twice. When it has a choice, it jumps first to a creature that is in contact with metal, standing in water, or carrying powered equipment.
