Aura of Discomfort

(See also: Aura of Comfort (Priest Spell))

Evil priests use this spell as a form of mild curse, subjecting the victim to an uncomfortable environment for the duration of the spell. The caster can choose a temperature from -20° to 140° Fahrenheit and select a weather effect, such as rain, sleet, or snow. No one, not even the victim, can see these effects, though the results are suffered. The effects only slightly hamper the creature, which can move and fight normally, but suffers a penalty of -1 (or -5%) to all actions that require a die roll for success: attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and so on. Other adjustments may apply at the discretion of the DM. The victim may also have to dress according to the perceived conditions, rather than the actual conditions. A character wearing just a loincloth in a tropical jungle could actually suffer frostbite as a result of this spell.

Notes: Reversed form of aura of comfort commonly used by evil priests on the Demiplane of Dread
