Duelist's Challenge Interface Adverse and Strange Effects Table in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Duelist's Challenge Interface Adverse and Strange Effects Table

Roll the Dice
1Overwhelming Emission: The DCI's pulse is too intense. The targeted creature becomes enraged, gaining a +2 bonus to attack rolls against you for the duration.
2Emission Feedback: The device backfires, releasing a minor pulse onto you. For the next round, you have a -1 penalty to your AC.
3Miscalibrated Frequency: The pulse affects two additional random targets within range, causing them to become momentarily fixated on you until the end of their next turn.
4Sonic Dissonance: A loud, disruptive feedback noise emanates from the DCI. All creatures within 10 feet, including you, must make a Constitution saving throw or be deafened for 1 round.
5Pheromone Leak: The DCI's pheromone blend seeps out more than intended. For the duration, creatures within 10 feet of you become slightly agitated, imposing a -1 penalty to their Wisdom and Charisma-based checks.
6Intermittent Function: The DCI's effect on the target wavers. On its turn, the target has a 50% chance to ignore the compulsion.
7Fine-tuned Frequency: (Beneficial) The DCI's emission is perfectly calibrated. The targeted creature has disadvantage on its initial saving throw.
8Stalwart Challenge: (Beneficial) The challenge is so compelling that, for the duration, the creature has disadvantage on any saving throw to resist effects that would break its concentration on you.
9Neural Echo: The challenge affects the creature longer than expected. On the turn after the DCI's duration ends, the target still feels a mild compulsion to focus on you.
10Commanding Presence: Your posture and aura, enhanced by the DCI's pulse, make you appear as a clear leader. For the duration, any ally within 30 feet of you gains a +1 bonus to their attack rolls, inspired by your bold challenge.
