Martyr's Cry

6th-level evocation (Bard,Cleric)


  • Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take in response to an attack made by a creature within range that inflicts damage reducing you to half your maximum hit points or fewer
  • Range: 30 feet
  • Components: V
  • Duration: 1 minute

You cry out in pain at your wounds, and your suffering weakens the enemy who inflicted it. The creature who damaged you takes 2d12 thunder damage and must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or become poisoned and restrained for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Charisma saving throw. On a success, the spell ends on the target. It also ends if you regain hit points that bring your current total to higher than half your maximum.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the range increases by 30 feet for each slot level above 6th.
