Targets an immobilized creature; +19 vs Will; 2d4+4 damage plus 5d6 psychic damage. A target reduced to 0 hit points or fewer by this attack is dominated by the incunabulum slayer. A dominated target does not fall unconscious and does not need to make death saving throws. It dies only when reduced to negative hit points equal to its bloodied value. If the target under the slayer's control regains hit points so that it is no longer dying, or if the slayer drops to 0 hit points, the slayer's domination of the target ends.
