Several monsters, such as daemons, are immune to death effects. The section on immunity in the CRB states that:
"If you have immunity to effects with a certain trait (such as death effects, poison, or disease) you are unaffected by any effect with that trait".

How I understand things:
- Any effect with the "Death" trait is a "death effect"
- If you're immune to death effects, and someone casts a spell on you that has the death trait, you are completely unaffected by the spell

The second point above is what confuses me. Let's say a 12th-level spellcaster casts a 6th level Phantasmal Killer spell on a Cacodaemon (Harvester Daemon).
- Phantasmal Killer has the Death trait
- This level 1 monster is immune to death effects

So does the spell have zero effect? Or does the spell play out as normal, only the daemon cannot be killed by the insta-death if it critically fails its Will and Fortitude saves? What if the resulting damage from failing those two saves is enough to kill the daemon in a single blow?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Long-time player, first-time poster & GM here.

The Dragon Disciple archetype requires that "you are a kobold with the dragonscaled or spellscaled heritage, a dragon instinct barbarian, or a draconic bloodline sorcerer" to access it. Does anyone know if it is intended for a character to stick to a common dragon type when selecting this archetype?

For example, if a black-scaled kobold took the Dragon Disciple dedication feat, would they need to select "black dragon"? Or could they choose whatever dragon type they like, essentially becoming two different types of dragon (one black, and one their second selection)?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks
