Supertitious Instinct and frightened effect trigger


Rules Discussion


Some questions popep up regarding the frightened drawback for this instict:

Raw text:
While raging, if you willingly accept the effects of a magic spell or effect, you are frightened 1.
You cannot reduce your frightened condition below 1 as long as you are affected by the spell or effect.

So I'll enumerate some assumptions and questions:

Runic weapon affects the weapon, but requires a willing bearer or unattended weapon.

- assumption 1: someone uses the magic on a unattended weapon and the barbarian picks it up to use will not cause any effect on the barbarian, similar to using a magic weapon.

- question 1: what would be the effect of willingly allowing the magic onto the weapon.

- - option 1: Since you not the target nothing happens

- - option 2: Since you accepted a spell even if your not the target you get frightened but since the effect is not on you, you will be able to reduce the frightened condition.

- - option 3: Same as 2 but without been able to reduce while you use the affected weapon (effectively working contrary to assumption 1)

Spell that created an area or effect that does not has a target ex: Bless, Courageous Anthem

- question 2: Can the barbarian benefit from the spell without triggering the frightened condition?

- question 3: How could you resist those spell if the previous awnser is no?

Spell that does not require a willing target ex: Haste

- question 4: Can the barbarian benefit from the spell without triggering the frightened condition?

- question 5: How could you resist those spell if the previous awnser is no?
