Trigger A creature ends a move action within the trap’s area
Effect The triggering creature takes 2d10+10 mental damage (DC 32 basic Will save) as it considers its future failures. A creature that takes damage hears a soft whisper offering, “Let me take something from you and I can stop the pain.” A creature who agrees loses access to a random class feat that isn’t a prerequisite for another feat, and the creature doesn’t take further damage from Flood of Despair. This effect lasts for 1 week and can be ended by effects that remove curses.
Reset The trap resets immediately and can affect the same creature multiple times on the creature’s turn.
