PDK Brainstorming
With the new PDK changes, I feel like this topic would come up eventually.
My first question pertains to rallying cry:
RALLYING CRY
Instant Action
3 Turn Cooldown (1.5 Turns for Valiant)
Range: Colossal
The Knight and all nearby allies gain +1 AB and +1 Damage for 1 turn. The Ward, if within range, gains an additional +2 damage.
(Valiant 7): At class level 7, the Knight Valiant increases these bonuses to +2. At class level 10, the Knight Valiant increases these bonuses to +3. These bonuses cannot exceed the Knight Valiant's Charisma modifier, but have a minimum value of +1. An affected Ward's +2 damage is added on top of this increased bonus.
Does this mean the PDK's base CHA mod, or after buffs?

Intelligence is too important

Darn, okay.
Also, does the PDK's fear effect stack with other such effects? Like a dragon fear, or a barbarian's terrifying rage? And do those effects stack with taunt's?

Neat. Thanks for the timely responses.
Rallying Cry and Bard Song--these stack as well, yes?

Re: PDK Brainstorming
I think pretty much ALL of the PDK abilities will stack with anything you care to name, with the exception of the DR.

Cool, good to know.
Next question!
OATH OF WRATH
Instant Action
3 Turn Cooldown
Range: Targeted Ability
A targeted enemy loses 2 AC for 1 turn. In addition,
(Valiant): all allies within a colossal radius gain 1 + 1 per Knight level magic damage against the target's racial type.
Assuming 10 PDK levels (so +11 magic damage), is that damage applied before or after crits? Before, right?

Re: PDK Brainstorming
Before. But the 1 + 1 per Knight level is a typo in the changelog. It should be 1 + 1 per 5 Knight levels.

Re: PDK Brainstorming
Yes. It's not meant to replicate a high-end instant-action Divine Might on cooldown for your entire party. The irresistible bonus damage is a significant party boost, however.
