Saving Throw Will

Trigger A creature within range becomes frightened.


You open your mouth wide and inhale sharply; you draw in the bravery, self-confidence, and hope to which the frightened target clings and then strip away the target's false assumption that these fragile emotions can save them from the oblivion of terror. The target's stolen hope reinvigorates you.

You deal 6d4 mental damage to the creature, which must attempt a Will saving throw.


Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature takes half damage.

Failure The creature takes full damage; you regain Hit Points equal to half the damage the target takes.

Critical Failure The creature's frightened condition increases by 1 (to a maximum of Frightened 4) and it takes double damage; you regain Hit Points equal to half the damage the target takes.


Heightened (+1) The damage increases by 2d4.
