Ashen (Greater)

In his attempts to recreate the initial feeling of the object he encountered ages ago, the Ash Engineer discovered a different effect, one that would confound his enemies. Ashen weapons are typically coated in a thin layer of ash that gradually returns over the span of a day, even after wiping away. A creature hit by an attack from an ashen weapon becomes surrounded by burning ash, which deals 1d4 persistent fire damage. This ash clouds the senses, causing the creature to become Confused for 1 round unless it succeeds at a DC 25 Will save.

The persistent fire damage is 1d8. The save DC is 35. On a critical failure, the effect lasts for 1 minute.
