Hexes: Dire Prophecy #630

Open CaptOcto opened 1 year ago

CaptOcto commented 1 year ago

"As long as the curse persists, the target takes a –4 penalty to his armor class and on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks.".

Seems like this is missing the important part from TT of "gives the victim a penalty equal to the witch’s caster level to his armor class or on any single attack roll, combat maneuver check, opposed ability or skill check or saving throw" (ending the Hex). Obviously this is too vague to code but what about something like if the target of the hex is targeted by a Death affect (Phantasmal Killer, Weird, Finger of Death, Wail of the Banshee, Circle of Death, Rogue/Inquisitor/Slayer capstones etc) then it triggers as per the description giving a penalty equal to Witch caster level. Would be a decent use for otherwise useless capstones at least.

Those are all save effects and this the penalty isn't applicable.

I didn't include it primarily because it is used as an out of turn effect typically which is not realistic support and generally you wouldn't want to use it in most situations anyway.

You can choose to apply the one off save penalty to anything you want right so those affects would be applicable? Generally in TT you'd use it to try to force a failed save against a save-or-die or save-or-suck. Or am I missing something about it?
