Planar

Natural odd non-spell strike rolls miss a Planar Character.

War Room mechanic implemented

How it works

Rule explanation

A natural odd roll from a melee or ranged strike misses a Planar target even if its modified total reaches AC. Strikes generated directly by spell effects, including delayed strikes, ignore Planar. A strike from an ability merely granted by a spell is not itself an effect of that spell. Advantage keeps the highest even result if one exists; disadvantage keeps the lowest odd result if one exists.

At the table

Example

A spell that schedules a strike on your next Order produces a delayed spell strike that ignores Planar. A spell that grants a new Order to perform a ranged strike does not make that granted Order’s strike a spell strike.

Watch for this

Common mistake

Planar does not protect against a strike produced by a spell effect, including a delayed spell effect. Merely having a spell as the source of a granted ability is different.
