Howling Blast (3.5e Invocation)
| Greater; 7th; Eldritch Essence |
This eldritch essence invocation changes your eldritch blast into a howling blast by duplicating the howling winds of Pandemonium. A howling blast deals sonic damage. Against objects, the gale-force winds of a howling blast ignores one-half of their hardness and inflicts full damage instead of half, and it has a chance of blowing away the object at the DM's discretion.
Against living targets, a howling blast inflicts only nonlethal damage, but the target must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw (DC equal to 10 + ½ your effective caster level + your Charisma modifier). If they fail, roll 2d6 and consult the following table.
| 2d6 | Effect |
|---|---|
| 2 | The target is confused for 1d3 rounds |
| 3 | The target is cowered for 1d2 rounds |
| 4-5 | The target is deafened for 1 round |
| 6-8 | No additional effect |
| 9-10 | The target is knocked prone |
| 11 | The target is knocked down |
| 12 | The target is blown away |
Secondary effects from multiple howling blasts are not cumulative. Instead, the most recent effect replaces any previous ones.
This has no effect on other pre-existing effects of a similar nature, however.
