View Full Version : Question on ability damage

if a spell or psionic power stipulates ability damage as part (or all) of it's damage, and it doesn't stipulate that the ability can't go below '1' - what happens at 0? (for things other than Con, since that obviously causes death.)

The exact problem is with Ego Whip, and it's Charisma draining effect. As a player, I'd want it to completely debilitate the enemy when reduced to 0 - either dead or comatose. But I couldn't find a ruling either way online - hence the question :)

Thanks for cake! - I mean help...

It would complete incapacitate the enemy.



Strength 0 means that the character cannot move at all. He lies helpless on the ground.
Dexterity 0 means that the character cannot move at all. He stands motionless, rigid, and helpless.
Constitution 0 means that the character is dead.
Intelligence 0 means that the character cannot think and is unconscious in a coma-like stupor, helpless.
Wisdom 0 means that the character is withdrawn into a deep sleep filled with nightmares, helpless.
Charisma 0 means that the character is withdrawn into a catatonic, coma-like stupor, helpless.
