Stolen Breath

2nd-level necromancy (Cleric)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 50 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: 1 minute

Choose one target within range. That target must succeed on a Constitution save or spectral claws reach into its chest and rip the air out of its lungs. On a failure, it immediately begins choking (per the rules in Chapter 8 of the Player's Handbook ), and until the spell ends it cannot take reactions, and it can only take either 1 action or 1 bonus action on each of its turns. During this time, it cannot move unless it takes an action that allows it to move (such as the Dash action). The target can end these effects by using its action to catch its breath. Once it does so, it is no longer choking, and the spell ends.
