[BoVD] Soul Eater Question

[Arcturus_Rugend]

The Soul Eater PrC from BoVD has the (Su) ability to drain one or more levels with a touch. Does this include any touch attack such as that with each attack from a natural weapon or is it only usable once per round?

 

[Arcturus_Rugend]

No opinions / interpretations on this?

I don't have the book, so I'm not sure how helpful this is, but it's probably usable 1/rd. The vampire for example, which drains levels with a slam attack, can only do so once a round. This was clarified in the FAQ, IIRC. So possibly the Soul Eater's ability is similar.

Ah, like "using" a supernatural ability (as a standard action) rather than with every attack like a spectre. That makes sense. Thanks, shilsen.

Actually, the vampire can drain levels only once per action (once with a standard action attack or once with a full attack action). If hasted, the vampire can drain levels twice in a single round, such as with a full-attack and an additional attack from the partial action.

Right. Should have said "action" instead of "round". Thanks.
