Area of Effect 1 creature
Casting Time 2 action points
Saving Throw none; see text
Level cantrip

Though the damage is very little, there's yet the possibility that the dweomer may stun a weak defender or generally contribute to an enemy's downfall. Additionally, the sting breaks the concentration of a spellcaster weaving a spell.

Allergic Reaction

There's a 3% chance per caster level that the victim, if humanoid, might suffer an allergic reaction to the sting. If an allergic reaction occurs, the victim is granted a saving throw vs. poison — failure causes the area around the sting to swell and become very painful, causing a general -2 penalty against the victim's attack rolls. In such cases, an additional 1-6 damage is caused by the bee.

Additionally, the swollen area becomes useless for a period of one full day, so that the individual might be blinded or be unable to eat if stung on the face, or unable to use a hand that's been affected.

The bee cantrip is similar to a group of other personal cantrips that include bug, gadfly, mouse and spider.
