Bolt of Death
[Su, MR, AoO, Necrotic]Associated Skills: Arcane - Necromancy\nDivine - Death
Description
You attack the target(s) with a ray or area of necrotic energy. You can divide the d6s of damage any way you want between HP and SP.\nIf you choose the concentration duration, you can make one new attack (same range, area, and damage potential) each subsequent round (by spending 5 AP to redirect the spell).
Strength drain option: A successful attack also causes 2 points of ability damage to Str.\nDelay option: You can choose to delay the damage by 1 to 5 rounds. You still fire the bolt as part of the casting, but it stops at the designated point and remains inert until the delay has been reached.\nMultiple bolts option: You can divide the total damage between up to four separate bolts, each of which has the full-size area of effect.\nVampiric option: You gain the necrotic damage dealt as temporary HP and SP. Against multiple targets, count only the largest amount. If the damage kills a target creature, you also gain a +2 metabolic bonus on all action checks for the rest of the encounter.
S - The target takes the indicated amount of damage.\nCS - The target takes double damage and cannot regain HP, SP, or PP for 1 round.\nF - The target takes only half damage.\nCF - The target avoids all damage.
