Tranquilizer Shot

You silently fire a shot of powerful sedative at a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, it takes 1d8 poison damage. If this spell reduces a creature to 0 hit points, it falls unconscious and is stabilized.

This spell is rather subtle visually and makes very little sound. A nearby creature might not hear the spell hit the target, but they will probably hear the target's body hitting the ground. The only physical evidence this spell leaves in the target is a tiny needle where the spell hit. If a single casting of this spell singlehandedly causes a creature to fall unconscious, they will be unaware of what caused them to fall unconscious unless they saw you casting this spell.

The spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
