Radiating Orb

Effect

Radiating Orb

Radiating Orb reduces the target’s attack rolls according to its remaining stacks.

Stage 3 · Combining effectsEquipment and stacking

Applying it to an enemy makes that enemy’s attacks less reliable. It does not directly improve your attack bonus or reduce the enemy’s Armour Class.

Stacks diminish with time and when the affected creature makes attack rolls. Enemies that attack repeatedly can spend the duration quickly.

Attack rolls

Core rule permalink

An attack roll decides whether an attack hits. The total must meet or exceed the target’s Armour Class.

Stage 1 · Combat basicsAttacks and dice

Roll a d20 and add the applicable ability modifier, proficiency bonus, and other attack bonuses. The weapon or spell determines which ability applies.

Damage is calculated after the hit is decided. A larger attack-roll total does not itself deal more damage.

d20 rolls

Core rule permalink

A d20 has twenty possible results, from 1 to 20. It is used to resolve attacks and many uncertain actions.

Stage 1 · Combat basicsAttacks and dice

Add the relevant ability modifier, proficiency, and other bonuses to the die. Meeting the target number is enough to succeed.

Attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks use different bonuses. A bonus to one does not automatically apply to the others.

      Stacking

      Core rule permalink

      Repeated effects may grow stronger, last longer, replace one another, or fail to combine.

      Stage 3 · Combining effectsEquipment and stacking

      For conditions such as Radiating Orb, remaining turns also affect strength. In contrast, repeated resistance does not keep halving damage.

      Check whether the effect stacks and whether it has a cap. A shared display name does not mean the values from every variant can be added together.
