My lvl 1 party is facing a bandit camp next session and with 4 heavily armored PCs I don't think stealthing will be an option. We came across some powder in last weeks session that induces an hour-long stun if you fail a DC 20 constitution save, my idea is to try and burn the stuff in a censer and have a well-constituted PC hold their breath and spread the smoke through the camp. I know this has a lot of potential holes but my questions are these: Is there any official area of effect for a censer? If not, what would be a reasonable way to homebrew the effects of creating and spreading poisonous smoke? How would you handle the use of a censer in this manner?
Edit: I should probably clarify that I'm the only cleric of a 7 person group, I have 2 spell slots to my name and 2 fighters and a bloodhunter to account for, the druid and bard can take care of themselves if need be, we also have a newbie paladin so lay on hands may not come up until shit has hit the fan.
Give it to a barbarian, have them charge into a group of baddies and have him/her start smashing people with it. Maybe DM it as an improvised weapon with a DC 20 CON save on a hit. Perhaps it beaks open after so many hits or after a save of some sort, having an area of effect or something. Seems like there could be a lot of fun role play opportunities.
