The disciple’s curse seeps into the foe’s subconscious, forcing it to believe failure is just around the corner.
Make an attack. If it hits, it deals weapon damage as normal plus an additional 6d6 points of damage, and the target becomes cursed for 24 hours. While cursed by this strike, the target suffers a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. Whenever an affected target succeeds on an attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, the penalty imposed by this strike increases by –2. Whenever an affected target fails on such a roll, it must succeed at a Will save (DC 17 + your initiation modifier) or become panicked for one round, and the penalty imposed by this maneuver is reset to –2. A creature under the effect of this strike can choose to intentionally fail on any of these rolls to make another saving throw against this effect. If it does, failure does not cause it to become panicked, nor does it reset the penalty to –2.
