“Mercy is for the penitent. This is for everyone else.”
You channel righteous fury into a perfectly timed, divinely guided strike to a creature’s most vulnerable center of balance.
Make a melee spell attack against one creature within range that has a discernible anatomy and is not immune to being stunned or knocked prone. On a hit, the target takes 3d8 radiant damage and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or suffer the following effects until the end of its next turn:
- The target’s speed becomes 0
- The target has disadvantage on attack rolls
- The target cannot take reactions
On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and suffers no additional effects.
If the target is Large or smaller, and the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is also knocked prone as it doubles over in shocked agony.
Creatures that lack a vulnerable anatomy (such as oozes, many constructs, or incorporeal undead) are immune to the secondary effects, though they still take damage on a hit.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
