Path of Genjutsu FAQ
How does World of Illusion work?
World of Illusion is the 14th-level Genjutsu Path feature. As an action, choose a point within 60 feet; each chosen creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere makes a Wisdom save against your Technique Save DC. On a failure, it is charmed and incapacitated for up to 1 minute while you concentrate. Affected creatures repeat the save at the end of each turn and whenever they take damage. You can use the feature once per long rest.
You choose the affected creatures
The feature is not indiscriminate. It applies to creatures of your choice inside the sphere, so allies can be excluded.
Failed saves remove actions through incapacitation
A failed save imposes both charmed and incapacitated while the effect lasts. This is powerful control because an incapacitated creature cannot take actions or reactions.
Concentration is required
Taking damage can threaten the entire effect through concentration. Protecting the Shinobi's position is therefore important.
Targets get repeat saves
An affected creature repeats the Wisdom save at the end of each turn. Taking damage also gives it another save, so allies should consider whether attacking a controlled target is worth the chance of freeing it.
Long-rest resource
World of Illusion is not a routine every-round technique. Its once-per-long-rest limit makes it an encounter-defining resource.
