Cringe Burst

You unleash a wave of secondhand embarrassment so intense that it rattles the target’s confidence and composure. The magic manifests as awkward silence, misplaced jokes, and the crushing weight of social failure.

Choose one creature within range that can hear you. The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save:

• The creature takes 2d6 psychic damage and suffers disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of its next turn.
• Additionally, the creature is frightened of you for the duration if its Charisma score is lower than yours. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and suffers no additional effects.

Special: If the target is currently performing (e.g., casting a spell with verbal components, making a Persuasion check, or speaking), it immediately loses concentration and blurts out something humiliating. The DM may impose narrative consequences (e.g., revealing a secret, offending an ally).
