Ethrealness and Traps
« on: February 18, 2020, 07:38:21 PM »
I've noticed that traps take me out of Ethereal Jaunt when I step on them.  Of the two, one even damaged me with frost damage.  This seems like a bug.  I shouldn't even set them off while ethereal, let along take damage or be taken from etherealness by them. In both instances, it said attempting to interact with the physical world causes me to break etherealness... I assume because I rolled a reflex save; however there's no reason to dodge at all if you shouldn't even be setting it off and cannot be hurt by it.

I have had similar problems with this spell repeatedly trolling me. None of the information I've been told about this spell IC has been accurate, and nothing I've read online has helped me understand. This will be an enlightening read for me when a developer comes in to explain that something is or isn't wrong.
Insatisfait permanent, c'est ça l'apanage du champion.

Just to be clear, are you talking about Etherealness or Ethereal Jaunt? These are two different spells and you use both terms in this topic.

Also, can you clarify which type of traps and where?

Ethereal Jaunt,

I don’t know about the first trap because it did 0 damage. The second was frost damage though. I’d be happy to test.

Thanks; I'll fix it so characters in Ethereal Jaunt/Empty Body/Vampire Gaseous Form do not trigger floor traps.

This should now be fixed.
