I have been working on a custom spell request for a friend of mine. Essentially one of the features they have requested is that this attack (once per long rest) has an instant/guaranteed crit. I have looked into other spells that accomplish something similar such as the Better Illithid Spells and my current troubleshooting step involves applying the Hold_Person status effect as part of the attack. The issue I am running into with both of these is that it requires an extra turn to actually incur a critical hit. The Hold Person effect works but it does not apply the critical to the actual damage. Was just wondering if anyone knows a way to work this feature in or if I will have to make it a two parter?
Thanks in advance, I'm still figuring this all out.
