Vision of Madness mind-affecting?

[Tim Bürgers]

Hello everybody,

is the lv 1 domain power of the madness domain mind-affecting?

On the one hand I guess it should be. On the other hand are there a lot of stories, adventures etc. with mad creatures that are immune to mind-affecting effects. For example the stereotypical mad lich.

Maybe it just works on creatures with an intelligence score, so zombies would be immune and vampires not.

Thanks for your advice!

What book is it in? I would have to read it to know.

The only effects that are mind effecting are those that explicitly state they are. Vision of madness does not say it is, so it isn't, at least as far as the rules are concerned.

It is in the Core Rulebook in the madness domain, p. 45.

Thank you. I guess we´ll let it work on every creature which has an intelligence-score.
