Bergeron's Doom

This potent paralytic compound is derived from the bright blue bloom of the Poison Berrik vine. It is said that the Berrik vine was cursed long ago by a court jester named Bergeron who could not get the nobles of his court to so much as crack a smile. Now, Bergeron's Doom does what the hapless jester could not, and the results are so gruesome, they're almost funny.
DC 18 Con saving throw. On a success, the affected creature experiences some sinus irritation and mild hiccups for 1d4 hours. On a failure, the affected creature falls prone and begins laughing uncontrollably. Every round, the creature must repeat the saving throw to end the effect, with the DC reduced by 1/2 (rounded up) for every two failed checks. If this second check is failed, the creature takes 1d6 Necrotic damage for every failed check (1d6 after the first failure, 2d6 after the second, etc). If the affected creature drops to 0 hit points, they fall unconscious and the poison's effect ends. After the poison wears off, the affected creature suffers 1 level of exhaustion for every 4 failed checks. Any spell that removes poison, ends the effects immediately.
