Drowning Mist

Though not unique to Chelaxian kineticists, this sarglagoninspired technique floods enemies' lungs. Your elemental gate exudes a faint mist that feels as thick as standing water. The moisture doesn't just tug at limbs; it forcibly seeps into the nostrils and lungs of air-breathing creatures. While in this stance, your aura is difficult terrain for any creature that doesn't have a swim Speed. Creatures that can't breathe water must hold their breath while in the aura, and when such creatures take an action that reduces their remaining air by 1 or more rounds, they must also attempt a fortitude save against your class DC (maximum once per round). You're immune to the effects of your own Drowning Mist.

Success The creature is unaffected.
