Empathic Assault (1110)
Mnemonic [EMPASSAULT]
Duration Instantaneous
Type Attack (bolt spell & warding)


This spell allows the Empath to target an enemy with a bolt spell that does initial damage and then establishes an empathic connection between the caster and the target. This connection then causes a series of warding attackings which can further damage the target. The Empath's mental lore training significantly affects the potency of this spell.

Factors that affect Empathic Assault


Using Empathic Assault

An Empath who wishes to utilize Empathic Assault as a primary hunting spell typically trains diligently in Mental Lore, Telepathy in order to increase the number of warding cycles the spell offers.

The bolt spell portion of Empathic Assault adheres to the following bolt spell table:

Spell AG Cloth Leather Scale Chain Plate
AsG 1 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Empathic Assault DF .750 .500 .405 .400 .265
AvD ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

Empathic Assault will work on all targets, but some targets may be immune to the empathic connection and subsequent warding attacks. Those immune to the connection include the undead and constructs.
