SPECIAL TRAITS

• Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny bladecoin. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.
• Distraction. A creature that starts its turn in the swarm’s space must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be blinded and deafened until the start of its next turn.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The swarm makes two Slash attacks.
• Slashes. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature in the swarm’s space. Hit: 18 (4d8) slashing damage, or 9 (2d8) slashing damage if the swarm has half its hit points or fewer, and 4 (1d8) slashing damage at the end of its next turn.

ABOUT

A bladecoin swarm appears to be nothing more than a pile of brass or copper coins. However, when the swarm senses intruders entering the area it is tasked with guarding, it swirls upward into a cyclonic tornado composed of hundreds of coins with razor-sharp edges. The swarms are often placed to deter would-be thieves.
