Unholy blight and good aasimar


Rules Questions


In the campaign I'm GMing, the party will soon encounter a monster that will use Unholy Blight on them. Only one of the characters is neutral, the others are good.
One of the good characters is an aasimar (NG, garuda-blooded) spiritualist, with a phantom. The question is: do she and her phantom count as "good outsiders" for the spell? They will be 4th level when they encounter the monster, and the spell will be cast with CL 8 ...
And what about the tiger animal companion of the fey wildblooded sorcerer? Will she get the full damage or the halved one?

Aasimar are Outsiders with the Native subtype. Unholy Blight would affect that character as a Good Outsider (8d6 damage).

To my knowledge, Phantoms and Animal Companions would only be affected as normal (no bonus damage, and with varying effect depending on alignment).

Phantoms are creatures of the outsider type, so if the phantom's alignment is good, the phantom would take the increased damage (1d6 per caster level). Note that they have the same alignment as the spiritualist.

So in this party...
-the aasimar and the phantom will suffer the increased damage for good characters, and may be sickened.
-the other good characters will suffer the regular damage for good characters, and may be sickened.
-the neutral character and the tiger animal companion will suffer the regular damage for neutral characters.
All will receive the normal save for half, and to prevent sickening.

Does this make sense? ^_^


Yep, thank you very much. i really hope I'm not going to oneshot the poor thing...
