You strike with tranquil grace, imparting a distracting sense of peace to your opponent’s troubled mind.
Make a melee attack. If it hits, the attack deals damage as normal, and the target must make a successful Will save (DC 14 + initiation modifier) or be unable to make attacks of opportunity or take immediate actions until the end of their next turn.
On a successful save, they instead take a penalty equal to your initiation modifier on attack rolls and checks they make before the start of their next turn.
