Turn the Other Cheek

2nd-level abjuration

"When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one to him as well."
Matthew 5:39

Casting Time: 1 reaction

Range: Self

Components: S

Duration: 1 minute

Whenever you take damage from a creature's attack, you can use your reaction to turn the other cheek to your attacker. The attacking creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or it is turned for the duration.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it cannot willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also cannot take Reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to Escape from an Effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

If the creature takes damage before the spell ends, it may repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself with a success.
