Description

A black ray projects from your pointing finger, warping the air around it in a heat shimmer where time seems to slow to a crawl. You must succeed on a Ranged Touch Attack to strike a target with this ray, as you chuckle in dark delight at their predicament.

Upon a successful hit, the Ray of Exhaustion inflicts (Circle 2 damage): 1d6 points of damage per character level (max 6d6 at character level 6) of Negative Energy (energy, uncommon) damage.

The target must then perform a FORT save against a DC as defined above. If the save fails, the target is also Fatigued, and may become subject to the Synergy listed below if the conditions are met. If the target succeeds on the save, they are not fatigued, and are therefore not subject to the synergy. Regardless of the outcome of the saving throw, if the ranged touch attack hits, the target takes the full damage of the spell; only the affliction of the fatigued condition and the subsequent synergy are affected by the saving throw.

Synergy: If a creature receives any other status condition while it is suffering from the status condition laid by this spell, the old condition may be replaced with a new effect. In such cases, the dire energy of this spell inflicts (Circle 5 damage): 1d6+1 points of damage per character level (max 15d6+15 at character level 15) of Negative Energy (energy, uncommon) damage as it is expelled from the victims body.
