Blood-Curdling Emission

Blood-Curdling Emission is a passive feature that allows the weapon to scare its target. It deals extra damage and increases chance to hit against frightened targets.

Description

On a hit, possibly inflict  Frightened (DC 12  Wisdom Saving Throw). Gain a +1d4 bonus to attack and damage against Frightened creatures.

How to learn

Granted by the weapons:

• Bow of the Banshee

Notes

• Blood-Curdling Emission grants different effects depending on how the wielder attacks:
  • Attacks made with the shortbow have a chance to inflict  Frightened.
  • All weapon attacks (not just from the shortbow itself) against Frightened creatures gain +1d4 to damage rolls.
  • All attacks (including unarmed and spell attacks) against Frightened creatures gain +1d4 to attack rolls.
• The Frightened condition is not actually applied by the passive feature, but by the  Bow of the Banshee itself.

Bugs

• The combat log erroneously states the spell save DC of the wielder; it still uses the fixed DC of 12.
• This ability is not affected by effects providing advantage or disadvantage on saving throws against being  Frightened, such as  Countercharm or  Shield of the Undevout.
