Effect The Red Queen Strikes a creature with a vicious display that inspires her allies. Allies who can see the Red Queen can use a reaction to Step or Stride to a space adjacent to an enemy, or to Strike.
Practiced Subterfuge — When the Red Queen makes a Deception check to Feint, she compares her result to the Will DC of each enemy within 30 feet to determine the effect against that enemy. On a critical success, the creature is Off-Guard to all melee attacks, not just melee attacks from the Red Queen, until the end of her next turn.
Red Ant Venom (poison) — Saving Throw DC 40 Fortitude

Maximum Duration 4 rounds

Stage 1 3d6 poison damage and Enfeebled 1 (1 round)

Stage 2 4d6 poison damage and Enfeebled 2 (1 round)

Stage 3 6d6 poison damage and Enfeebled 3 (1 round)
