Posted Mar 27, 2022This seems like a pretty good spell. Maybe too good, specifically in the duration of the debuff; consider copying the verbiage from Mind Sliver to replace “for the next minute”.
I mean, the restriction to one type of saving throw seems like it would counteract that, but it doesn’t really, since presumably any character taking this either has a powerful spell with a Con save attached to it, or is in a party with someone who does, who is more than ready to use that ASAP and thus the rest of the minute doesn’t matter anyway. Especially since Con saves are among the most common, behind only Wisdom and Dexterity at most, and are typically pretty strong so disadvantage on them is impactful. I almost wonder if the damage should be brought down to match Mind Sliver’s, but that’s probably unnecessary, considering disadvantage isn’t that much better than -1d4 when both of them are only going to apply to one save.
