They have disadvantage on Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma ability checks, and must roll a d8 at the start of each of their turns; on a roll of 1, they do nothing that turn as they are lost in the haze. |
| 7 | Quaking Sickness | At the start of the target's turn, they must roll a d8. On a roll of 1, they suffer from a seizure, rendering them paralyzed until the start of their next turn. A creature who suffers 3 consecutive seizures, dies. |
