Wordstrike (Su): At 3rd level, the sound striker bard can spend 1 round of bardic performance as a standard action to direct a burst of sonically charged words at a creature or object. This performance deals 1d4 points of damage plus the bard's level to an object, or half this damage to a living creature. how does this effect affect a zombie? What about an incorporeal undead?
I searched the rules forums, didn't really find what I was looking for, situation: Gulthius, wizard 13, has multiple spells active on him all at his caster level. Gulthius attacks a group of 11th level players. Life Oracle successfully hits Gulthius with Dimensional Anchor so he can't flee. Later the Life Oracle decides to remove any buffs from Gulthius he can, so he targets Gulthius with Dispel Magic, needs a 24 to remove any one of Gulthius' spells, but gets a 23, which IS enough to end Dimensional Anchor (cast by the Life Oracle (11th) earlier). Against my better judgement, I let the dimensional anchor remain in place, as it does seem counter intuitive to remove your own spells when trying to remove buffs, but when simply targeting a creature, rather than the buff spell itself, I'm pretty sure the rules side on my first thought that it would indeed have ended dimensional anchor (caster level 11th) with a dispel roll of 23, since no specific spell was targeted, it's just going to break the first thing it can. (yes, I'm just looking for confirmation is my original decision so I can so "Never Again!") thank you. |
