Persistent damage of the same type doesn't stack, you just take the higher value.

Foretell Harm is just a little bit of bonus damage. That's why it's a free action. :)

But the aura is good because in case the enemy makes its save to end the persistent damage, you just need to hit them with another fire spell and they start taking the damage again.
I see, I see. I suppose I just expected more from the one ability that can actually inflict the cursebound condition. I would've expected it to play more into the risk vs. reward aspect of "do big thing, but now you have to suffer a consequence". Instead it seems to be a rather minor and small part of the class, at least at this level with the Mystery I've selected.

Incendiary Aura is super good, I've got a good read on that one!
Dmbrainiac says:
Some effects that cause persistent damage allow a save to reduce how much they take. But in general, once a creature is taking persistent damage, there isn't another save to reduce that amount.

At the end of the creature's turn, it rolls for how much damage it takes. Then it attempts a DC 15 flat check to try to end it. If not, it will take damage against next turn and keep taking damage until it succeeds its flat check.
Ahh, okay. It being dependent on the wording of the effect makes a lot more sense. Great, thanks for explaining all of this!

No problem. Yes, your options for interacting with the cursebound effects are limited at level 1, but you'll get more as you level up.

What's the DC for the DC for the piercing shriek?

It's 21, so Novac got a success.

Ok i guess I am sickened 1

Lol I just realized I can't take the elixir of life as I can't ingest anything while sickened ;) I love those conditions 😅

Sheeesh, this thing is brutal. Who is the best person to heal Novac here? Also Incendiary Aura will proc on any fire damage, it doesn't just have to be mine.

Well if the amount of damage that thing deals it would probably be best to keep attacking it and hope that Novac passes his saving throws...maybe heal Dalton ...if he goes down you're in trouble...

I have the Heal spell, so we have some options. Currently debating using a two action heal for Novac (extra healing) or three action to heal everyone within 30 ft. (It would also include the monster though). Either way it’s my last spell slot so after that we duke it out haha.

Honestly mechanically I am out of the fight....even if you heal me ... I won't make much difference...so the best would be to heal Dalton. We're all level one so he might be able to take one more hit. So don't waste the heal on me but on the one who can fight ;) you can patch me up later .......if i still live

Hmm, tough situation. AJ will likely still attack and use one of her spell slots for a 1 action cast of Heal. Thanks for the input.
Apr 7, 2025 7:14 pm
Lol I just realized ...32 to damage ...only 8 away from instant death ....
Apr 7, 2025 7:56 pm
That would've been 2 damage away for me, haha!
Apr 7, 2025 8:04 pm
Lol scarry I don't recall taking that much date at first level ever ....even the regular hit of 16 would have been enough to knock me out

This is a level 3 monster, so it's going to be a challenging fight. The dice haven't been too kind to you unfortunately, but this round both AJ and Dalton will hit due to their flanking maneuver. (The monster's off-guard AC is 17 so they both just hit!) And the creature is weak to fire damage, so it's going to take a lot of damage this round.

@cellarnovice may still act, and if he heals Novac, then the rogue may also act before the monster.

Huzzah! The cheat sheet I've been using didn't even mention flanking as a rule, so thanks Drifter!
Apr 8, 2025 11:47 am
I'm learning parts of P2E slowly. The status values are a new thing to get used to and flanking mattering. There is a whole bunch of debuff things in the system to, which I do not have a handle on yet :)

Sadly, you need an action to ready your shield, and that missing action from Slow 1 is really hurting Dalton on that front.
Apr 8, 2025 3:00 pm
Lol the flanking was what Novac was doing sine day 1. Because the creature has to be off guard to him for sneak attack to work 😀
Apr 8, 2025 3:10 pm
@cellarnovice thanks for the healing
Apr 8, 2025 7:52 pm
Man those rolls suck
