Holy Vindicator: Bloodfire / Bloodrain


Rules Questions


3 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

Hi,
I'm playing a dwarven Holy Vindicator at the moment (positive energy channeling).

Some time in the future we will heading into the Lands of the undead. So Channel Energy will be a good source of damage.

The question is about the bleed effect of the Bloodfire/Bloodrain ability.
Normally undeads are immune to bleed damage, but as this is caused by positive energy I ask myself if it's really a bleed effect or not only simply a "damage over time" effect and should then also be used at undead?

From a RP perspective I see no reason why a good god should give his follower the power to cause bleeding wounds at normal people but not at undead?

Any suggestions/comments?

It would make sense if the channel smite worked on other foes effected by your channel energy, like the channel alignment or the channel elemental stated in the requirement for the class. But an update on this would be appreciated
