DESCRIPTION

You give the target creature a degree of complete regularity in its motions and fortunes, succeeding and failing in a simple pattern. While under the effect of this spell, the target’s attacks, saving throws, and skill checks do not require die rolls. Instead, they always follow this sequence: 20, 1, 19, 2, 18, 3, 17, 4, and so on, until the spell expires. The initial result of 20 occurs when the target must next make any die roll.
