If the Final Herald succeeds at a saving throw against an effect that would grant another control over her, she critically succeeds instead.

Ashen Curse (curse, emotion, fear, mental, misfortune)

Frequency once per day

---

Effect The Final Herald points at a sapient creature she can see within 30 feet and warns them, "You have been seen by the Ashen Man!"; the target automatically understands this curse in their native language and is filled with dread that some potent otherworldly force has taken an interest in a devastating impending doom that will affect them personally sometime soon. The target must attempt a DC 32 will save.

---

Critical Success The target is unaffected.

Success The target becomes Slowed 1 for 1 round by the sudden, intense fear.

Failure The target becomes Frightened 1 and is slowed 1 for as long as they remain frightened. Thereafter, whenever the target becomes frightened, they also become slowed 1 for as long as they remain frightened; this effect is permanent until the curse is removed.

Critical Failure As failure, and the target must roll twice and use the worst result whenever attempting a saving throw against any fear or mental effect.

Patron

Starless Shadow (Ashen Man)

Quickened Casting (concentrate, spellshape)

Effect If the Final Herald's next action is to cast a 4th-rank or lower cantrip or spell, reduce the number of actions to cast it by 1 (minimum 1 action).
