Pantorts's page

We play with Google Hangouts, and it works good. For the map, we use a webcam on a tripod aimed at the map. The hardest part is the sound. If more than one person talks, it gets hard to hear

I don't think gaining intelligence would make it leave you, since the regular phantom has a 7 intelligence. I think it works as written, but was not intended. This Archetype suffers from a number of issues that mainly result from the starting stat block printed.

Is it supposed to be an animal, which leads to follow-up questions. Do you have to use handle animal to use it? Does it need to learn animal tricks? If your phantom mount is a wolf, does it have hoof attacks? Can it be Awakened?

The easiest solution is to make it an outsider and give it different starting stats based on what it is.

What would happen if you cast Awaken Animal on Ghost Rider's Phantom Mount? It is the animal type, but behaves like the Spiritualist's Phantom, which is an Outsider and not a valid target for Awaken Animal.

I am currently playing a Spirit Walker Mesmerist and I am having trouble wrapping my head around the Continued Animation ability. I have many questions about the ability and want to see if it can be cleared up for me. To clarify, I understand how the ability is supposed to work, but the rules dont seem to match. Anyways, on to the questions.

Question 1: it says you use the ability when the target dies. How do I know when the target dies? Many enemies get knocked unconscious before they die. Do you attempt to use the ability when they get knocked unconscious and it fails if they aren't dead?

Question 2: The ability says that the target gains temporary hit point equal to twice my class level when the ability works. Does the target go to 0 hp first, and then gain temporary hit points, or do they start at negative whatever they were at and then you add the temporary hit points, which would mean that this ability would fail most of the time? The rules are not clear.

Question 3: The target is affected as if by dominate person. I know what happens if they make their initial will save, but what happens if they make a later save to act "against their nature"? Do they then immediately die, or do they stay around, uncontrolled for the duration of the ability? Rules are unclear.

Bonus Question 4: Since the target "counts as undead", wouldn't dominate person no longer work on the target? What about the stares as well?

Thank you in advance.

Except sleeping does not make you unconscious, only helpless. They're different.
