Creature 6 — animal

Vitriol (curse, emotion, mental, occult) — The hateful bear vomits a stream of caustic black sludge at a single foe it can detect within 15 feet. The bear and the target each gain a +1 circumstance bonus on all attack rolls made against each other until the bear chooses a different target for its Vitriol. The target must attempt a DC 22 Will save, with the following effects. The bear cannot use Vitriol again for 1d4 rounds. **Critical Success** No effect. **Success** The target's mind is clouded by feelings of rage and hate, causing it to be Off-Guard against the bear's next attack. It can't use actions with the concentrate trait unless they also have the rage trait. **Failure** As success, but the target is off-guard until the end of the bear's next turn. While off-guard, it is unable to use actions with the concentrate trait unless they also have the rage trait. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the target is off-guard until the bear chooses a different target for its Vitriol.
