If a creature with a Miasma stack hits another creature, the opposing one makes a Constitution saving throw equal to your spellcasting ability. On a failure, that creature gains Miasma stacks equal to your proficiency bonus. On a success, the creature is unable to get miasma stacks from the attacker for 24 hours.

Whenever you deal hit a creature with an attack, you may use your bonus action to add Miasma stacks equal to your proficiency bonus.
