📋 About This Mod
ASTRAL PLANE PAIN
"You awake in pain. Your back, your hands, even your tongue ache.
Every breath, every blink proves exhausting. A long day awaits you..."
Your body will be so wrecked after your spicy nights with Frog Wife that you'll awaken with the following debuffs:
Full list of status effects:
-
[]Reduced movement speed
[
]-1 to Attack rolls[]-1 to STR, DEX, CON, & CHA checks and saving throws
[]Advantage on Intimidation checks
This status goes away after a long rest. If the pain proves too much, it can also be removed with Lesser Restoration. But Lae'zel will disapprove if you take the easy way out ;)
