Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Slow — This is Slow with the serial numbers filed off — same 40-foot cube, six targets, -2 AC/save penalty, action-or-bonus-action limit and d20 spellcasting check — but it uses a Con save instead of Wis and grants a 'slowed level' rather than halving speed. ✨

✨

Up to six creatures in a 40-foot cube save or gain slowed, -2 AC and Dex saves, lose reactions, and can't act and bonus-act together.

!Requires concentration for up to 1 minute; each affected creature gets a Con save to end the effect at the end of each of its turns.

Choose up to six creatures of your choice in a 40-foot cube within range. Each target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be affected by this power for the duration.

An affected target gains 1 slowed level, it takes a -2 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws, and it can't use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a bonus action, not both. Regardless of the creature's abilities or items, it can't make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.

If the creature attempts to cast a power with a casting time of 1 action, roll a d20. On an 11 or higher, the power doesn't take effect until the creature's next turn, and the creature must use its action on that turn to complete the power. If it can't, the power is wasted.

A creature affected by this power makes another Constitution saving throw at the end of its turn. On a successful save, the effect ends for it.
