Soul Eaters Energy Drain
Can someone explain to me in how this ability works? is it a standard action touch attack usable at will? Does it kick in every time I hit something with my Natural Attack? Is it neither?
I joined the Roy Fan Club and all I got was this lousy smiley.

Re: Soul Eaters Energy Drain
For those who don't know, it's a prestige class in BoVD.
Energy Drain (Su): A soul eater gains the ability to drain energy, bestowing negative levels upon its victims. Beginning at 1st level, the touch of a soul eater bestows one negative level on its target. At 7th level, the soul eater bestows two negative levels with a touch.

Every time you're touched?
Wouldn't that mean that it works on enemies using natural attacks against you, too?

Re: Soul Eaters Energy Drain
Somewhere I got it in my head that the ability activated every time you struck with a natural weapon. It may have had to do with the fact that you need a natural weapon to qualify for the class, but the quote provided by Biffoniacus_Furiou says nothing about that.
Huh. Well that's how I use it anyway, but now I'm not sure what it's supposed to be.Last edited by Xallace; 2008-11-27 at 09:59 PM.

Re: Soul Eaters Energy Drain
It takes a Standard Action to use your Energy Drain attack. As per the SRD, using a Supernatural Ability (like the Energy Drain) "is a standard action unless noted otherwise."
