[QUOTE="Garrett, post: 2141879, member: 6295"] Having a discussion on this power (XPH p.99), I'm not convinced that the DM's ruling was accurate or not... Situation: room full of Evards Black Tentacles (PHB p.201), evil wizard at the far end. My character (not that its relevant) is a 10 Psychic warrior/ 2 Dread Champion~ I get grappled by one of the tentacles, and figuring they have health (and I'm missing a lot of health) decide that I want to pay the augment for the manifest and use the area drain on the tentacles. so heres the power in a nutshell~ [B]Telepathy school, mind affecting. saves and stuff are irrelevant. touch attack I basically give someone else my 'hurt' "transferd damage is empathic in nature, so powers and abilities the subject may have such as damage reduction and regeneration do not lessen or change this damage. the damage transferred by this power has no type, so eve nif the subject has immunity to the type of damage you originally took the transfer occurs normally" The augment applies this to all things in a 20' radius (but says nothing about needing the touch attack, also confusing, I assumed it was auto hit)[/B] So I wanted to drain these tentacles. The DM ruled that the tentacles are mindless, so they are immune to the damage, and so I wasted an awesome ammount of PP for nothing. The spell description says nothing about the tentacles being immune to mind affecting stuff. Tentacles have HP, I think 1 per caster level. I'm not convinced, but I see both sides of the argument. Thoughts? Secondly, Dread champion gains me the undead template, would this power even work on me? Since I'm immune to mind affecting things~ The other weird thing about this, is the friendly one, where you take pain from someone else, and apply it to yourself, is Psychometabolism, where the hostile one is Telepathy... I dunno I'm looking for some input here. [/QUOTE]
