Frightful Shout

1-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 30ft.

Components: Verbal, Material

Materials: a tuft of fur from a celestial canine

Duration: Instant

Attack/Save: WIS Save

Damage/Effect: Psychic

When casting this spell, you let out a terrible yell toward a creature you can see within range. If the target has an alignment opposed to yours (good/evil, lawful/chaotic) and it can hear you, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 psychic damage and is frightened of you until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half the damage and isn’t frightened.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6, and the duration of the frightened condition increases by 1 round for each slot level above 1st. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Available for: Cleric, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
