Demoralize question


Rules Discussion


Can a Lizardfolk Monk demoralize his enemy using Threatening Approach and then say a couple rounds later use Dragon Roar on the same enemy? Or would the enemy become immune to Dragon Roar once Threatening Approach was used.

The Demoralize temporary immunity is specific to the creature and the action - Dragon Roar, having nothing to do with the Demoralize action, doesn't have anything to do with that temporary immunity.

No, you are good, they would not be immune to Dragon Roar. Demoralize only makes the creature immune against you future Demoralize attempts for 10 mins. However, Dragon Roar uses your Intimidation DC, not a Demoralize, so it should still work {unless I missed something, which is possible.}

This is the same case for 'Scare to Death' if you are going down that route, and get to Level 16.


Thanks the both of you! Some nice synergy here with these two feats.


Just remember that if you make an enemy frightened 1 with some skill/feat, and then use another skill/feat that makes them frightened 1 before they've recovered, the total effect is still just frightened 1. (Unless you've got something that says "increase their frightened state by 1," of course, but AFAIK there are no such things.)


It doesn't say in the description of this ability what happens on a crit success?

Same as a critical success for demoralize, since you are demoralizing (for Threatening Approach).

So abilities that say you demoralize the enemy, would inherit the restrictions of demoralize.

So threatening approach would have the same 10 minute time limit, but Dragon Roar doesn't mention demoralize so it works just fine.
