Volo's Atrocious Joke

You unleash a truly cringe joke upon one creature you can see within range. The joke is so painfully awkward that it assaults the mind of those who hear it.

 

The target must be able to hear you and understand at least one language.

 

The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d4 psychic damage and must immediately use its reaction to move up to half its movement speed away from you by the safest available route known by the target. (This does not consume.movnent speed) This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks, as any creature witnessing the event understands that the target's only desire is to escape the unbearable cringe and doesn't attack out of pity)

 

On a successful save, the creature takes no damage but still lets out an audible groan, sigh, or other expression of disappointment at your attempt.

When a creature succeeds on its saving throw against this spell, you may use your reaction to reasure ina very cringe way that it it is a good joke by saying thungs such as:

"But it's funny, right?", or "come on its still a good joke."

 

The creature must immediately repeat the saving throw. On a failure, it suffers the effects of this spell.

 

At Higher Levels

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the psychic damage increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 1st.

Additionally, the forced movement increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st, up to a maximum distance equal to the creature's maximum movement speed.

 

For example

A creature with 30ft of movement moves 15 ft and takes 1d4 at 1st level, moves 25ft and takes 3d4 and 3rd level, moves 30ft and 5d4 at 5th level.
