Plague of Frogs
Cleric, Sorcerer, Warlock
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 300 feet
Components: S, M (at least part of a frog or some frog slime)
Duration: Instantaneous
You create storm clouds that appear in the air inside a 20-foot radius cylinder within range. The storm clouds let loose thunder and then frogs rain from the sky. Each creature in the spell's area takes 1d12 points of bludgeoning damage as they are pelted with frogs. The frogs die on contact with a creature or a surface. A reflex save halves this damage.
Each creature in the area that takes damage from a frog must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned, the effected creature has their speed cut in half.
The area is difficult terrain until the frogs are cleaned up. The frog's poison have expired and can't be harvested.
Special: When you cast this using a spell slot of 5th level or higher spell slot the radius of the cylinder increases by 10' for each slot level above 4th.

I made a version of this for a Favored Soul that I'm creating but I started thinking... The 5e Cleric really needs a Frog Plague spell. Based off the Hypnotic Pattern spell for the most part.
I'm thinking about adding some Bludgeoning Damage to this spell, just a little to symbolize the frogs smacking someone up side the head.
