Those who meet the gaze of the fear smith experience the world seeming to twist at unnatural angles beneath their feet. When a creature that can see the fear smith\xe2\x80\x99s eye starts its turn within 30 feet of the fear smith, the fear smith can force the creature to make a DC 16  Wisdom  saving throw if the fear smith isn\xe2\x80\x99t  incapacitated  and can see the creature. On a failed save, the creature is disoriented until the start of its next turn. While disoriented, a creature can\xe2\x80\x99t take the  Dash  or  Disengage  action, and when it moves for the first time on its turn, it must succeed on a DC 16  Dexterity  saving throw or fall  prone . Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can\xe2\x80\x99t see the fear smith until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the fear smith in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. \n'b'  Hidden Eye .
