OK - I have a Dreamspitter which has Life Stealing - Life Stealing is defined as
I have two questions, if I create a Heavy Repeating Crossbow that has Enervation, do the 1d4 negative levels from Enervation work the same as Life Stealing IE: reduce the victim's saving throws?"This weapon has a small chance to drain 1d3 levels from its target on a critical hit."
The negative levels inflicted by a critical hit from Dreamspitter reduce the victim's saving throws, and that effect stacks with itself. If an enemy has been hit with a spell that grants auto-crits (like Hold Monster or Flesh to Stone), then attacking with Dreamspitter can reduce saving throws so he breaks out of the spell more slowly.
And, why is it that on my Monk using Dreamspitter people ooooh and aaah when it crits for negative levels and then you talk about making a repeating crossbow that does the same and it's like your talking about yesterdays stale fish?
This weapon will be used for a "In the rear with the gear." Bard that buffs and CC's with spell and song then switched to several repeaters for debuffing mobs - my thought is adding a Enervation repeater would help that much more.... this Bard is a static group Bard also that (obviously) only plays with the same group playing the same toons on Friday nights - so his roll and survival is already established.
So am I missing something? Or is this a viable weapon?
