Respect Your Elders! (auditory, emotion, linguistic, mental, occult)Frequency once per day
Effect Old Matsuki publicly chastises a character he can see and who's within 30 feet for being disrespectful, not just against him or Willowshore's other elders, but against Willowshore's traditions. Whether or not his reprimands are justified, the target of this tirade must attempt a DC 22 will save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected and immune to Respect Your Elders! for 1 week.
Success The creature feels a momentary bout of shame, becoming Stupefied 1 for 1 round.
Failure Feelings of shame and doubt nag at the creature, distracting them enough that they become stupefied 1 for 1 hour.
