Dread Visage in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Homebrew
Dread Visage
4-level Illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S
Materials: 2 Soul Shards
Duration: 1 hour
You cloak yourself in an illusion that reflects the fears, guilt, and doubts of those who look upon you.
For the duration, you have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks.
Additionally, when you enter a conversation, negotiation, interrogation, or social scene, you may choose one creature that can see you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw.
On a failed save, the creature is frightened of you for 1 minute or until you or your allies damage it.
On a successful save, the creature is not frightened and is immune to this spell’s fear effect for 24 hours.
A creature that succeeds or fails against this fear effect cannot be targeted by it again until you finish a long rest.
This spell does not automatically reveal that you are using magic, but creatures may notice something unnatural about your presence at the DM’s discretion.
Available for: Warlock
