Message: <blockquote data-quote="spindlethin" data-source="post: 5841969" data-attributes="member: 84824">I was doing up a hybrid Bard warlock that mostly dominates and buffs; modelled after the Lazylord builds.I'm taking  Hellfire Soul for my 15th level attack, and I'm looking for ways to make sure that it is effective. Are there any feats or powers that reveal remaining HP, or at least if it's within the possible damage of Hellfire Soul?DM's out there - would you be opposed to a Skill check to become aware of a monsters HP (I'm thinking a move action, maybe with Heal?) Finally, I took Word Of Life for my lv. 10 Daily. what I was thinking was:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Kill something with Hellfire Soul. It now is dominated for the encounter with 1HP</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Menace the Big Bad with the Dominated Creature. get a hit or two in</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Big Bad Smacks the Dominated, he dies</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cast Word of life - creature still dies, because he doesn't have healing surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Big Bad gets -5 to all defences; cue the action points.</li> </ul>The question is, in essence, can I have a dominated creature count as an ally for a harmless healing spell? RAW this wouldn't work, but surely I can protect whomever I want to, particularly when they are unconscious/dead.</blockquote>
