Questions on epic feats!

Unread post by the_flame_of_anor »

Does Epic Dodge negate a spell attack (be it warlock invocations, or mage RTAs like Polar Ray, or auto-hit like Isaacs)?

Is Mass Fowl blocked by death immunity? How about immunity to attribute decrease?

TIA

Epic dodge does not work against melee, or ranged touch attacks.

https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Mass_Fowl wrote: The casting duration of this spell is shorter than the casting duration of standard spells, so quickly using this spell on enemies will interrupt them before they finish casting their current spell. This can be useful if enemies are casting dangerous spells like Death Ward that would grant them immunity to ability decrease/death magic or Gate.
By this logic it would mean Death Ward blocks it. Your choice what you want to believe, I'd recommend testing everything. Good role-play for spellcasters, to test their spells.

Mass Fowl is a forceful polymorph effect not a death effect. So it can bypass death immunity

Did you mean both melee touch attacks and range touch attacks? Got a little thrown off by that Oxford comma there lol

Noob question here -- how about spells like Isaacs? Can epic dodge evade an Isaacs at all?

How about immunity to stat decreases then? I'd imagine the stats of the enemy will be dramatically lowered after being forcefully polymorphed?

If mass fowl bypasses stats immunity too, then can I presume this spell works against undead too? (Albeit medium-sized and below undead.)

Re first: Works against neither melee or ranged.

Re Isaac: Nothing can block isaac's, except for spell resistance, counter-spelling or spell mantles.

re Mass Fowl and undead: it works against undead.
