Warding Gesture (Undead) may not be working
« on: May 10, 2021, 10:33:57 PM »
I took warding gesture (undead) on a lvl 7 sorcerer cleric 1 (total lvl 8 ) character, and it does not seem to be working. According the feat description, with my boosted +7 CHA modifier, I should be able to fear undead that fail a DC 21 will save. I tested this feat 9 times on groups of skeleton knights in the crypts; so far it has not worked.

Since it doesnt seem likely that all these skeleton knights passed a DC 21 will save consecutively, I think that this ability may not currently be working.

Warding gesture works in a cone, so if they are behind you or to the sides they wont be effected.

I’ll try again tonight, and make sure it was not because I was facing the wrong way.

Yeah, they have to see you make the gesture. That's not a bug.
