So I was gaming last night and phantasmal killer was cast. The monster made it's will save so it disbelieved the illusion. We then had an argument over whether the second fort save was appropriate and then if it failed that if the monster would still take damage. Unfortunately the wording is such that it's not clear (or so the players argued). If anyone could help that would be appreciated.
"You create a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature
imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the
subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious
mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. Only the spell’s
subject can see the phantasmal killer. You see only a vague
shape. The target first gets a Will save to recognize the image as
unreal. If that save fails, the phantasm touches the subject, and
the subject must succeed on a Fortitude save or die from fear.
Even if the Fortitude save is successful, the subject takes 3d6
points of damage."
Cheers
