Total Nightmare

You unleash an overwhelming wave of fear affecting all hostile creatures within a 1-mile radius centered on you. You can choose a number of creatures up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one) to be unaffected by this spell. Each affected creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC.

• Creatures with a Wisdom of 12 or Lower:
  • Automatically fail the save and is reduced to 0 hit points.

• Creatures with 50 Hit Points or Fewer:

  • Must make the saving throw.
  • On a failed save:
    • The creature is overwhelmed by terror and is reduced to 0 hit points.
  • On a successful save:
    • The creature becomes frightened of you for the duration.

• Creatures with More Than 50 Hit Points:

  • On a failed save:
    • The creature becomes frightened of you for the duration.
    • It drops whatever it is holding.
    • It is compelled to flee from you by the safest available route on each of its turns.
  • On a successful save:
    • The creature is not frightened but feels an unsettling dread.

A frightened creature can repeat the Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If a creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn't have line of sight to you, it can make the saving throw with advantage. On a successful save, the effect ends for that creature.

Backlash:

Casting this spell is taxing on your mind and body. Immediately after the spell ends, you gain two levels of exhaustion.
