Power from despair


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

The power from despair ability for the Spiritualist's despair phantom says it gets +2 on attack and damage rolls against creatures that are "shaken, frightened, panicked, cowering, or subject to effects such as aura of despair and crushing despair. "

My question is, what also falls into the category of effect like aura of despair and crushing despair? does the phantom's miserable strike ability also count? What else?

Scarab Sages

I'd like to think so, but I'm looking for an answer as well.


They mean effects with the emotion descriptor that have despair in their name.


In the description it does say it is an emotion effect but not what emotion which I found weird. I'd like to hear a ruling on this as well as I have a spiritualist and it makes very little sense to have this ability without the phantom having a way to cause the despair effect.
