Notes

• This action is unlocked automatically after becoming a Full-Illithid.
• When targeting enemies, there is an  Intelligence Saving Throw to apply the effect. This saving throw automatically succeeds when targeting allies.

Bugs

• This can be cast multiple times on the same target to apply multiple instances of  Fierce Perilous Stakes at once, and can even stack with  Perilous Stakes. The critical hit threshold reduction, bonus damage, and healing effect from each application all stack with each other. The damage vulnerability does not stack.
