Edict of Cascading Madness

Created by Titan Lord

You unleash a swirling cyclone of chaotic whispers, laughter, and screams drawn from the very fabric of failed worlds. Creatures within the area must make an Intelligence saving throw or face the consequences of their failure. Those who falter are wracked with 8d8 psychic damage and afflicted with a random effect, from attacking their allies to becoming invisible to their comrades. Creatures of lawful alignment suffer even greater torment, taking an additional 3d6 psychic damage and becoming stunned for a round. In this maelstrom of madness, even the gods themselves may forget their true nature. The Edict of Cascading Madness tears at the very foundations of reality, leaving only chaos in its wake.

Is incapacitated by laughter (Tasha's Hideous Laughter). 4. Becomes invisible to their allies. 5. Hears a voice giving false commands (DM controls them for 1 turn). 6. Explodes into illusory clones, suffering no damage but duplicating wildly and gaining disadvantage on saves. Creatures of lawful alignment take an extra 3d6 psychic damage and become stunned for 1 round.
