Posted Apr 19, 2022Nice. I think it's the most balanced homebrew drowling I've seen here.
On the character sheet, the prestidigitation cantrip appears instead of dancing lights. (Likely remains of an earlier version).
I suggest swapping disguise self for hellish rebuke, thematically, perhaps renaming the feature Drowling Magic instead if you choose to do so.
(As a side note, Kyt Kat is also the name of my cat, whose picture I use as an avatar).
