Does the slam attack from lesser Spirit Totem and Greater Spirit Totem get modified by anything other than BAB+CHA? I'm wondering about both benefits and penalties.
When the Barbarian is fighting defensively, does the spirit slam attack take a -2 penalty?
Would Power Attack penalize the attack roll and add to the damage?
If the Barbarian is wearing a Ring of Blinking, would the spirit slam also have a 20% miss chance on its attack rolls?
I'm sorry if these are foolish questions, but we're having our first Spirit Totem PC joining the game, and I wanted to have answers for potential questions. I'm not seeing anything on the messageboards, but my search-fu is weak.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Sorry, more questions -
If a Bless spell is cast (a spell with multiple targets), would the spirit slam also gain a bonus to attacks? Would this be different if the barbarian were the sole target of such a spell?
Would the spirit slam still function when the Barbarian is grappled or incapacitated? If the Barbarian has Raging Vitality, would it still be attacking while the Barbarian is unconscious (since Rage hasn't ended)
You're unlikely to get much in the way of RAW answers to this.
I would probably go with the wisps/spirits acting like a single, untargetable creature that shares the Barbarian's space.
Barbarian power attack/combat expertise/defensively or whatever would not affect it. Further, should the barbarian not attack (for whatever reason) the wisps still could. Also the wisps could attack even if the barbarian is unable or unwilling to perform a full attack.
Barbarian blinking would not affect it.
Bless would bless the wisps, if the person casting Bless considered them an ally. If the cleric is occasionally getting wisped because he's standing next to the barbarian, he might exclude them from the bless. Haste could not affect the wisps, because they're untargetable.
As long as the Barbarian is raging, the wisps should be active.
These are all only my on-the-spot gut rulings, and are not backed by actual rules in any way.
