  description: by each other and the precentor, and they can't use hostile actions
    toward each other or the precentor. When the precentor casts an innate divine
    spell, it can cause the effect to originate from any member of its choir instead
    of itself, using the precentor's saving throw DC and attack bonus.
  name: Assemble Choir
  traits: null
- action_cost: One Action
  description: The precentor stares at a creature it can see within 30 feet. The target
    must immediately attempt a Will save against the precentor's unnerving gaze. In
    addition, if the creature was already doomed, on a failed save, it sees the skin
    of its own body peel back, making it confused for as long as it remains doomed.
    After attempting this save, the creature is then temporarily immune until the
    start of the precentor's next turn.

- action_cost: One Action
  description: The precentor touches a creature within 10 feet, causing it to constantly
    scream in agony. The target must attempt a DC 38 Will save. While the target is
    stupefied by this effect, its continual screams cause it to automatically fail
    Stealth checks. **Critical Success** The target is unaffected. **Success** The
    target is stupefied 1. **Failure** The target is stupefied 3. **Critical Failure**
    The target is stupefied 4. The target can attempt a new Will save at the start
    of each of its turns, reducing the stupefied condition by 1 on each successful
    save. If the target reduces its stupefied condition to 0 in this way, the target
    is no longer affected.
