Vecna's Final Command

2nd-level necromancy (Artificer,Cleric,Warlock)


  • Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within 60 feet is reduced to 0 hit points
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You temporarily infuse a dying creature with necrotic power, allowing it to make one final strike. Before becoming incapacitated, the creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack. If the attack hits, it inflicts extra necrotic damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the necrotic damage inflicted increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
