Best way(s) to avoid WIS drain?


Advice


Hi everyone,

Our campaign group fought some sort of evil outsider last night who made very nasty and effective use of WIS drain.

We didn’t really have much in the way of good blockers for this. Are there any good methods out there?

(Plus, it seemed that my Spiritualist could NOT shunt this damage to her Phantom since it was not negative energy damage — but WIS damage).

Thanks :)


There's the ring of inner fortitude, the headband of mental resilience, . . . hmm, that's about all I know. There's also the soul warden prestige class, but that's like 8 levels for a one point reduction, so unless you're just into that sort of thing, meh.

The best way, of course, is to keep from getting hit by the attack in the first place. : )


^^ The ring is the best option out there.


Be a dodgy little bastard who can't get hit? I had to tank an undead who did something similar.


Ok - thanks! Appreciate the help. Certainly the cost of the ring seems a bit better than the headband.

Don't suppose there is some way to make this go to your Phantom, is there?

Thanks again :)

Crafted from a willow branch bent into a hoop with sinew or waxed thread woven into a web upon it, a dreamcatcher protects a sleeper from influenced dreams, whether of mundane or magic origin. It prevents the effects of dreamwalker, night terrors, nightmare, the dream haunting of a night hag, and similar sleep disturbances. It will also prevent natural nightmares from occurring. The dreamcatcher must be hung within 3 feet of the head of the sleeper’s bed or bedroll. If there is nowhere available to hang the dreamcatcher it may be placed beneath the sleeper’s pillow, but there is a 25% chance it will not work if it is not hanging.
