Description
Upon carefully analyzing a creature, you helpfully send it a telepathic lecture regarding its physiological and psychological inadequacies. For inexplicable reasons, doing so tends to aggravate the creature rather than educate it. The creature must attempt a Will save against your class DC. If you critically succeeded at the triggering check to Recall Knowledge, the target takes a –1 status penalty to its Will save. The creature is then temporarily immune for 24 hours.
Degrees of Performance
- Critical Success You accidentally overshare, exposing your own foibles. The creature gains a +1 circumstance bonus to its next attack roll against you, as long as that attack is made within 1 minute.
- Success The creature is unaffected.
- Failure The creature is stupefied 1 for 1d4 rounds.
- Critical Failure The creature is stupefied 2 for 1 round, after which it is stupefied 1 for 1d4 rounds.
