I think I might make it a Dex Save to shield/avert their eyes - to me a Con Save suggests that trying to stare down a bright light. I think I'll cut the bit about voluntarily averting eyes to avoid the save - it seems like needless bloat.[USER=6991813]@Professor Murder[/USER] - thanks, yeah I lifted the basic wording for the crunch from the Medusa.[USER=42856]@Galandris[/USER] & Stalker0 - I thought about making it an NPC ability but may want to give it to the PC Paladin as reward later.[USER=53980]@Fanaelialae[/USER] - thanks, hadn't considered Blur as a comparison. It is indiscriminate though - affects both friend and foe.[USER=27385]@aco175[/USER] - interesting point, though the blinding effect makes it a bit off brand for a paladin?Revised Version:<h2>Mask of Light</h2>2nd level evocationCasting Time: 1 actionRange: PersonalComponents: S, MDuration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.Classes: Cleric, PaladinA glow begins to build beneath the skin of your face, suffusing, then completely obscuring your features with a light so bright it is painful to look upon.Your face sheds bright light to a range of 10ft and dim light for 10ft beyond that.The light conceals your features, but your vision is not impaired by the spell and you can see normally.When a creature that can see your face starts its turn within 10 ft. of you, it must make a Dexterity Saving throw. A creature that fails the save is dazzled and for 1 round its melee attacks against you are made with disadvantage. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is instead Blinded for 1 round. If you see yourself reflected on a polished surface within 10 ft. of you, you are affected by your own spell.</blockquote>
