On a failure, the target is stunned until the end of the user’s next turn. This move has no effect non-humanoids and female targets. |
| 4 | Dragon Kick: The user performs a deceivingly simple side kick that sends targets flying off into the sky as an audience can be heard cheering. The target must make a Charisma save. On a failure, they are subject to effects as though you’ve casted the banishment spell on them. |
