All creature in that area must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, on a fail becoming poisoned and taking 40 (10d6) Poison damage, or half as much on a successful save. A creature that fails it's save by 5 or more becomes poisoned. They may repeat the save at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.
Regional Effects
A region that the Nue abides in suffers from one or more of the following effects:
- Nobles or people of importance suffer from terrible nightmares when they sleep and easily fall ill to natural diseases.
- Storms that see lightning strike from the clouds frequent this area
- Spells that deal lightning damage (excluding the Nue's own spells) deal an additional die of damage but the caster takes the damage rolled on the die as psychic damage when the spell is cast.
Notes for Luke:
- Turning into Nue requires an Action
- You keep your own mental statistics (Int, Wis, and Cha) but gain the Nue's physical stats (Str, Dex, and Con) while transformed.
- You can use your own spellcasting while transformed
- Use your own DC and Atk Bonus to calculate the DC and Atk Bonus for Nue's Innate Spellcasting
- When you use your Action to turn into Nue all creatures within 10ft of you must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, on a failed save taking 15 (3d8) Lightning damage, or half as much on a successful one.
- You can be the Nue for as long as you wish but can only turn from your humanoid form into the Nue once per long rest. You can push yourself beyond your limit assume the form more than once per long rest using 10 from your Power Pool and gaining a level of exhaustion.
