+5 to hit, reach 5 ft (1.5 m). Hit: 1d6+3 piercing damage.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Illusory Calm

The foxin targets any number of non-foxin creatures within 30 feet. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be treated as charmed against all enemies and dangers for 1 minute. A charmed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the foxin's Illusory Calm for the next 24 hours. A creature has advantage on the saving throw if it suffers any harm while charmed.
