| Ability-3-Description = | | Ability-3-Description = A Maddened Dictat warps the very fabric of reality around it. Merely by existing, it creates an aura of madness around itself that extends out 20 feet (four squares) from the edge of its space, as well as filling its own space, for a total area of effect of 11x11x11 squares, centered upon itself. This Corona has two principal effects. | ||
The first effect is, any enemy creature who ends their turn inside the Corona of Madness suffers {{Special-Swift-Dmg}} points of {{dmg|rugosic}} damage, as their senses and being are assaulted by sensations that are simply not real. All affected creatures also gain the [[Immolated]] condition, inflicting {{dmg|psychic}} damage, as their minds ignite under the assault. A successful Will saving throw against a DC of {{Save-DC}}, made once each round by each affected creature, will reduce the damage by half and reduce the Immolated condition to merely [[Singed]]. This Immolated or Singed condition cannot be removed as long as the creature remains inside the Corona of Madness. | |||
The second effect is, if any creature outside the Corona of Madness attempts to target the Dictat with any harmful effect of any sort (using a weapon attack, a magic item, a class feature, a racial ability, anything at all) they must make a Will save (the first time each round they attempt to use a damaging or deleterious ability) or suffer the [[Confused]] condition. If they make the Will save, they are [[Afflicted]] with visions of the True Depths instead, their body shaking with nigh-convulsive tremors instead. If an Afflicted enemy enters the Corona of Madness, their affliction is removed immediately(to be soon replaced by Immolation or Singed). Note that in the second and later rounds, Afflicted enemies will find making the save against the Confusion is much more difficult. | |||
