Bridge Collapse [reaction] Trigger A Medium or larger creature steps onto the bridge’s weak point; Effect The bridge collapses in the creature’s square, then rolls initiative. The DC to Grab an Edge on the bridge is 38. Once the bridge begins to collapse, the river’s Swim DC increases to 36 as the water churns with the falling debris. A creature that starts its turn swimming within 15 feet of the bridge takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage (DC 41 basic Reflex save).
Routine (1 action) The collapse radiates out from the damaged section of the bridge. All squares adjacent to a collapsed section also fall into the water.
