1.) How long is Focused Solar Lance intended to last? Until the target makes a CMB/Escape Artist to break free, or just one round?
2.) When Poisoner's Stance says "and gains a +1 DC per two initiator levels ...to the saving throw DC's of any poison ...he applies through the use of this stance." does it mean when the poison is applied to the WEAPON or the TARGET?
Basically, when yu switch away from Poisoner's Stance after applying poison to your weapon, does the increased DC persist or no?
Nothin'?
People tend to ignore this kind of questions here.
Well that seems kind of counterproductive for a forum with Rules Questions in the name.

I don't know for sure, but I imagine the benefits of Poisoner's Stance likely go away if you're not actively in the stance. That's kind of the point of stances: they give benefits while you're using them, not afterwards. My Warder would likely find himself moving down the list in Initiative if he switched out of Silver Crane Waltz (which gives a +2 to Initiative), for example.
Initiative is a different matter, Initiative is a check that is made at the start of combat. Same deal as if you take a Dex penalty in combat, it won't drop your Init.
But this is a mite different and depends on the definition of "apply" that is being used.
In this case, I think the DC would drop, and my GM thinks it would stay the same. He's decided to buff poison in a few ways, so we're going with his interpretation for now it seem (this is a one-shot PbP that's near its end) but I love the class and would like to know for the future how it actually works.
I'd figure it's when the poison hits the target.
Still kinda curious on this one. Any sort of consensus among PoW fans?
That's actually kind of interesting. I can imagine the look on someone's face. "This is so much worse than I was expecting!"
Anybody have input on the Focused Solar Lance question?
