Please help me un-break this Oracle


Advice


I have a human Oracle with the Wan curse and the Heart of the Fields racial trait.

Wan states that the Oracle is "always fatigued, but immune to exhaustion."

Heart of the Fields states that once per day the human "may ignore an effect that would cause them to become fatigued or exhausted."

So... what? Does this Oracle just take no debuffs? Does the curse trump the racial trait or does the racial trait trump the curse? Neither of the descriptions offer a solution for this so I'm really not sure how I should treat it. Any help would be appreciated!

There is a FAQ or something somewhere that says that such effects only last for the round and then a "new instance" (so to speak in computer terms) of the effect kicks in again.

Otherwise remove fatigue would work.


Assuming that you are the GM and this is not for PFS, then I would simply assign a duration for the Heart of the Fields when they use it to ignore their Curse's effect. Off hand I would say 1 min. This would let them ignore the debuff for one battle.


Both answers are very helpful, thank you guys!


Curse trumps all but divine intervention, it says so

To reiterate this point, here's the text:

"Each oracle is cursed, but this curse comes with a benefit as well as a hindrance. This choice is made at 1st level, and once made, it cannot be changed. The oracle's curse cannot be removed or dispelled without the aid of a deity. An oracle's curse is based on her oracle level plus one for every two levels or Hit Dice other than oracle. Each oracle must choose one of the following curses."

I don't think that racial trait would have any effect on the Oracle's Curse at all.


note the trait also say it ignores the effects that cause it, it does not cure or remove current effect. the curse is always active so it can't be ignored. as it is already in effect.
