Notes

• The version that can be acquired by The Dark Urge is limited to once per short rest.
• A creature cannot be affected by Stunning Gaze for multiple turns in a row. When the stun is applied, it is also given a two turn grace period during which it cannot be targeted by Stunning Gaze again.
• The  Stunned condition applied by this action is technically distinct from the normal version of the condition. As such, Helm of Balduran does not grant immunity to Stunning Gaze.
