The Vile

Nightmare. You utter words of ill omen, weaving curses intended to cause immense pain upon your foes.

As a bonus action, you can cause a defiant enemy great pain. Choose a creature within 15 feet of you. Until the end of your next turn, when the creature uses an action to attack, they also take 1d8 + your proficiency modifier of necrotic damage as wounds fester in their joints.

You can use this ability once before refreshing it in town using Performing Sacred Rites or Religious Service Downtime actions.

At Higher Levels. The attack deals an extra 1d8 necrotic damage when you reach 5th level, 10th level, 15th level, and 20th level.
