Daze effect - Does it stack?


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

It does not say it doesn't. I will pose a situation:
Caster A cast Daze on Creature A - Creature A dazed
Caster B cast Daze on Creature A - Creature A dazed
Caster C cast Daze on Creature A - Creature A dazed

Does the daze affect last for 1 round or for 3 rounds?

Only 1 round. Multiple instances of the same spell does not stack.

Okay... I knew that but forgot to this example.

What if creature A receive 3 dazed conditions from three different sources?

Also when a person fails his save against the Daze spell, he's immune to any further applications for one minute.

So Caster B and C simply wasted there time if Caster A's spell succeeded.

Multiple applications of the daze condition if applied by other means overlap, they do not stack.

Cool and thanks for your responses.


To give a reference to what HaraldKlak said: You can find the spell stacking rules on CRB p208-209. The durations are simultaneous and all will expire in one round.

Yeah... I actually knew that one but my tiredness got the best of me... my example was not good.

I would consider "this spell" to mean that particular spell cast by that particular person. The same way "this hex" means that particular hex cast by that particular person.

Daze: "After a creature has been dazed by this spell, it is immune to the effects of this spell for 1 minute."

Misfortune: "Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day."

Witch (page 65): If a hex says it can only affect a creature once every 24 hours, does that mean no other witch can use it on that target?

No, the restriction only applies to that particular witch using that hex, and doesn't prevent other witches from using their own hex with that name on the target.

For example, if Esmerelda uses her healing hex on Gustav, she can't use it on him again for 24 hours. Morda can still use her healing hex on Gustav during Esmerelda's no-healing-hex time period (and doing so prevents Morda from using it on him again for 24 hours). Repeat ad infinitum for any other witch using the healing hex
