Hi in "the book of divine magic" described the following magical property to add to armor:
Retribution: Three times per day, the wearer of a
suit of armor with this ability can cause the next
creature who hits them and causes damage – whether
by physical or magical attack – to take an equal
number of points of damage of the same type.
Faint necromancy; CL 3rd; Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, retribution; Price +6,500 gp.
My questions are:
1. does using this effect is an immidiate action at the moment the wearer recieve damage?
2. are we talking ANY kind of damage? does AoE spells count? ('hits' is a problematic word...)
thanks!
