Talk:Autoimmune Reactor (3.5e Power)

Balance

Have you compared this to bestow curse yet? --Foxwarrior 01:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. In terms of straight-up action loss, bestow curse wins with a 50% right off the bat and perm-duration. I figure the degen effect made up for it though. This still puts autoimmune at 5th when bestow is 4th (sometimes), but that's close enough for my purposes. Thoughts? -- Eiji-kun 01:55, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh yeah, that 9 HP/HD or more is a significant amount of damage. Considering that by level 13 few will be able to survive the full duration, increasing the duration probably doesn't matter as much as increasing the difficulty of premature removal would.

Most powers have their augments written such that spending power points on other things also increases the Save DC. Why doesn't this one? --Foxwarrior 02:07, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

One is Very High balance, the other is High balance. You'll note that psionic powers tend to be H rather than VH for the most part. --Ghostwheel 02:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Um... "For every 2 additional power points you spend, this power’s save DC increases by 1." It's there. Though, it doesn't increase the Heal check to remove or its weakness to remove disease (or disease immunity). -- Eiji-kun 02:33, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh, do you get all of the augments at once? Look at psionic dominate to see how they phrase it. --Foxwarrior 02:40, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

That was intended for the DC, this wording is better, I shall use it. -- Eiji-kun 02:52, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
