TOPIC: Figurines of Power

If I use Figurine of Power: Bat in VTD, is there an option to activate it in the True Dungeon Character App? Same question applies to the Reaver.

Another query:

Is the Psyferre's ability (15 damage 1/game) an instant action? Doesn't say in the TDB.

Psyferre's is a free action as written.

I had a question about FoPs. If two or more FoPs could trigger off of a single event, can all of them trigger off of that event? Or, is there some timing restriction that would somehow prevent that?

I'd recommend posting app questions in the True Dungeon Character Generators (App) thread.

The TDb entry for Psyferre's Spectacles says:
Once per game, the owner of this item may inflict 15 points of Damage on a single target as a Free Action. No To Hit slide is required and no saving throw is permitted to mitigate its damage. However, the wearer must be able to see their target.

Thanks, will do.

Man, I would have sworn I read it. Obviously missed it. Thanks and my apologies.

Can you give me a specific example of what you're referring to?

AFAIK, there are no current restrictions preventing one action from triggering more than one event. That doesn't mean there isn't one (I'm old and losing what few brain cells I had) nor does that mean there won't ever be one.

I'm pretty sure all FoPs have to be "manually" activated by their owner. (see memory note above) They don't trigger off an event, they trigger then the owner says they trigger. I know some FoPs can only be used in certain situations, but even then, the FoP's owner must choose to activate it.

Also, I'm nearing the end of a long day, so there's a decent chance I'm overlooking something obvious. 🤔

It happens to the best of us, amigo.

Undead melee with touch attack effect hits character with Moon Beetle and Saluki.

Prevent non-dmg touch and also 15 retribution?

Careful of your wording. Moon Beetle doesn't say it prevents the attack, it says it negates 1 side effect. That is probably an important distinction.

That's why I'd assume they can both trigger.

One prevents non damage effects, the other does 15 retribution because of the damage.
