You cause a small bit of bad luck to befall a creature, making it look humorously foolish. You create one of the following effects:
- A small, oily puddle appears under the feet of your target, causing it to lose balance. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be unable to use bonus actions on its next turn as it regains its footing.
- Tiny particles blow in your target’s face, causing it to sneeze. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage on its first attack roll on its next turn.
- Strobing lights flash briefly before your target’s eyes, causing difficulties with its vision. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or its passive Perception is halved until the end of its next turn.
- The target feels the sensation of a quick, mild clap against its ears, briefly disorienting it. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw to maintain its concentration.
- An invisible force sharply tugs on the target’s trousers, causing their clothing to slip. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on its next attack roll with a two-handed weapon or loses its shield bonus to its AC until the end of its next turn as it uses one hand to gather itself.
-
Only one of these effects can be used on a single creature at a time.
