EFFECT

DESCRIPTION

This spell functions as summon swarm, except you summon a swarm of poisonous frogs. This swarm has the statistics of a centipede swarm, except it has the animal type and its poison deals Constitution damage instead of Dexterity damage.

Putting it all together…

To save you the effort of looking up 5 different things, the wording (if combined with summon swarm) would be:

*Special Notes on the Stat Block: If this were truly an “animal” instead of vermin (as centipede would be) there would be many other changes to make as well. However, the spell simply says to use the centipede swarm with the following changes…” so only the changes indicated in the spell have been applied.
