Description¶
By means of a Ray of Enfeeblement spell, a wizard weakens an opponent, reducing its strength and thereby the attacks that rely upon it. The victim is reduced to a Strength of 5 for the duration of the spell unless a save vs. spell is made. This spell does not affect combat bonuses due to magical items, and those conferring increased Strength function normally. However, the target receives all of the penalties for a 5 strength such as attack and damage penalties as well as lower weight allowance.
