New in SW5eBrand-new SW5e trick: a 10-foot necrotic aura around you; creatures in range make a Strength save. Fail = 2d6 necrotic and they can't take reactions until your turn; success = half damage; Force Potency adds 1d6 per slot above 1st.✨
Dark tendrils deal 2d6 necrotic to every creature within 10 feet; those that fail their Str save also lose reactions until their next turn.

Tendrils of dark energy erupt from you and batter all creatures within 10 feet of you. Each creature in that area must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 2d6 necrotic damage and can't take reactions until its next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage, but suffers no other effect.
Force Potency. When you cast this power using a power slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
