Question about Plaguebearer ability.


Rules Questions


Goodmorning,

i've a problem with the sequent rule: any creature that strikes a blight druid with a touch attack, unarmed strike, or natural weapon must succeed at a Fortitude save with a DC of 10 + 1/2 the druid’s level + the druid’s Wisdom modifier or contract a disease, as the contagion spell.

The question is: does Plaguebearer ability work if I HIT anyone with a touch attack/ unarmed strike/ or natural weapon?


Nope. They have to hit you.


yeah... the rule says: any creature that strikes the druid. it's true....

Is may possible that could be wrong?

If you contract a desease touching me i don't see why you shouldn't if i hit you with one of these attacks.

How can i ask a check of this rule to an Admin/Owner?
Dunno how tag people here, neither who tag....

(Edit first sentence: "i've a problem with the following rule")

I'd be surprised, it's one of the standard ways for things to work.

We'd all love to have a way to do that directly, but there isn't one. First, Paizo staff is too busy for that kind of thing; there are exceptional occasions, but don't hold your breath. Second, even if a developer does speak up you'll be getting their personal opinion, not Paizo's. The latter requires the whole Pathfinder Development Team to discuss the matter and achieve consensus.

What you can do is click the "FAQ" button in the upper right of your first post and ask others to do the same. Don't start a new thread for this, just ask here. That will put it on the list of things people have officially asked the PDT to look at. But I'd bet money the eventual reply (it will not be quick) will be something like "no answer needed" (I forget the exact phrase) which means "the rule means what it says, we have nothing to add to that." Posters who believe that'll be the answer will probably decide against pressing FAQ.


message received, in this case i surrender :)

Thank you for help :)
