The rules state:

Immunity to critical hits works a little differently. When a creature immune to critical hits is critically hit by a Strike or other attack that deals damage, it takes normal damage instead of double damage. This does not make it immune to any other critical success effects of other actions that have the attack trait (such as Grapple and Shove).

Something came up in a recent session where an ooze with a very low armour class was being hit by the mage with a Ray of Frost. When scoring a critical success the spell states:

Critical Success The target takes double damage and takes a –10-foot status penalty to its Speeds for 1 round.

So it's obvious the ooze is immune to the damage BUT is it immune to the -10 foot status penalty based on the critical immunity text?

Help would be most appreciated

Thanks

Looking at the energy resistance rage power, how does the energy absorb bit work? Is it a per rage thing so once it has been used up it is gone and you only have the resistance or does it apply per attack so you always absorb Level*2 from a matching energy attack?

Hi All,

So this came up in our game last night:

The gnome illusionist casts Phantasmal Affliction on a creature with True Seeing. After some debate and checking of the forums the GM ruled that as with Phantasmal Killer, the spell fails due to True Seeing being able to see through the illusion.

The counter argument was that Phantasmal Killer has a visual element (hence true seeing beating it) where as Phantasmal Affliction does not, so it should work against creates with True Seeing.

So we agreed to take it to the forums and see what other people thought

Thoughts??

This might have already been answered but is there any point in Sword of Valor where the PC can rest/restock/purchase new magic items? So far the best I can come up with is to allow Queen Galfrey's forces to occupy the Vilareth Ford once and have the PC trek all the way back there if required.

Any other ideas/solutions people have used would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I will just have to ensure I set my players expectations to not getting to purchase new gear until book 3
