Message: <blockquote data-quote="ilgatto" data-source="post: 8891302" data-attributes="member: 86051">So I also found Hypnotic Pattern in 5PHB.How about this for a combination of Hypnotic Pattern and the ultrodaemon’s Hypnotic Stare?Hypnotic Stare. The xcyclops’ eye glows with a twisting pattern that weaves into the mind of one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. If the target can see the xcyclops, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed for 6 minutes. The charmed target is incapacitated and can’t move, take actions or reactions, or speak.The effect ends for an affected creature if it takes any damage or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of its stupor. If the target's saving throw is successful, the target is forever immune to the xcyclops’ gaze."Forever immune" coz WD21 says "and each victim can only be ‘stared’ once."I guess it doesn’t really matter that the effect ends when damage/shaken, for 3 free hacks are probably enough to kill the average villager in one go. Also, CR 3-4 should probably allow for freed when damage/shaken?Hypnotic Pattern and ultrodaemon Hypnotic Gaze say "charmed" but I suppose one could go for "paralyzed"? I guess the difference would be that charmed affects the mind (mental effect and thus WIS?) and paralyzed the body (physical effect and thus CON?)? This may be important for immunities?Hypnotic Stare. The xcyclops’ eye glows with a twisting pattern that weaves into the mind of one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. If the target can see the xcyclops, the target must succeed on a [WIS/CON?] saving throw against this magic or be paralyzed for 6 minutes. The paralyzed target is incapacitated and can’t move, take actions or reactions, or speak. The effect ends for an affected creature if it takes any damage or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of its stupor. If the target's saving throw is successful, the target is forever immune to the xcyclops’ gaze.I think I’d prefer charmed coz both Hypnotic Pattern and ultrodaemon Hypnotic Gaze say so.Edit: I suppose "The xcyclops’ eye glows with a twisting pattern that weaves into the mind of one creature it can see within 60 feet of it" must become "The xcyclops’ eye glows with a twisting pattern that weaves into the mind of one creature the xcyclops can see within 60 feet of it" coz 5E seems to do things like this?</blockquote>
