how do you guys rule this Mesmerist Tricks? everyone seem to have a different interpretation.
for one part, when the subject of the trick miss is attack , can any ennemy can be affected ( my guess is only the one who was miss)
-the ennemy affected by the compulsion - does he have to attack with a melee attack , or can he throw something or cast a spell?
-can the tricks affect animal? or very low intelligence monster?
The subject magically seems like a weak target, goading an enemy into attacking her. The mesmerist can trigger this trick when the subject misses a creature with an attack (even if it’s part of a full attack in which she hits that creature with another attack). The enemy must attack no one other than the subject, and the subject gains a +2 dodge bonus to AC against the triggering enemy’s attacks. Both of these effects last for 1 round. The bonus to AC increases by 1 for every 5 levels the mesmerist possesses. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.
Part the first: Only the enemy triggering the effect is affected.
Part the second: there is no restriction on how the enemy has to attack. Throwing stuff and spells appear to be legitimate options.
Part the third: As the ability doesn't tell us, we look to the compulsion rules - compulsions are mind affecting, so will affect animals and low intelligence monsters, but not things with the mindless trait.
