Terrible Remorse


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

So let me get this strait. I cast this, and my party can just whale on this guy for 7 rounds if he makes his save or not?

Terrible Remorse
School enchantment (compulsion) [emotion, mind-affecting];
Level bard 3, cleric 4, inquisitor 3, sorcerer/wizard 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target 1 living creature
Duration 1 round/level
Saving Throw Will partial (see text); Spell Resistance yes
You fill a target with such profound remorse that it begins to
harm itself. Each round, the target must save or deal 1d8 points
of damage + its Strength modifier to itself using an item held
in its hand or with unarmed attacks. If the creature saves, it is
instead frozen with sorrow, can take no actions, and takes a –2
penalty to Armor Class.

Thanks, something seemed really wrong there.

In fact, even the FAQ isn't the most up-to-date change; the Ultimate Magic errata changes the pass condition on the save to:

'If the creature saves, it is staggered for 1 round and takes
a –2 penalty to Armor Class, after which the spell ends.'

Much better!

Good catch. I knew it was fixed somewhere. Errata is here
