Description

Using intuition granted to you by The Stranger, if an ally within range is about to take damage that will reduce them to 0 hitpoints, you may use a piece of silken string to temporarily gain control over the dead body of a small or medium creature and move it in the way of the attack. Depending on the size of the reanimated body, you prevent a certain amount of damage, but have a chance to knock your ally away. When you cast this spell, your target ally must make a Dexterity saving throw against a certain DC as outlined in the table below or be knocked prone:

	Damage Prevented		Save DC
Attacking Creature and Attack Types	Tiny/Small	Medium	Tiny/Small	Medium
Tiny/Small	all	all	10	15
Tiny/Small (Reach/Piercing)	1d6	all	10	15
Medium	1d6	all	10	15
Medium (Reach/Piercing)	1d3	1d6	10	15
Large	None	1d6	10	15
Large (Reach/Piercing)	None	1d3	10	15
