Briar Viper
2-level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range/Area: Self (10-ft. radius)
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
You conjure a length of swaying, thorny vines with the
head of a viper around yourself. When you cast this spell,
you can make a melee spell attack with the vine against a
creature within 10 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 1d4
piercing damage and must make a Constitution saving
throw. The creature takes 2d4 poison damage on a failed
save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Until the spell ends, you can repeat the attack as a bonus
action on your turn.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 3rd level or higher, the poison damage increases by 1d4
for each slot level above 2nd.
