Torment's Reach is a monk ability in Pillars of Eternity.
Description[]
This ability exploits the shared bonds of universal suffering between all beings. The initial target is hit with a powerful blow that does additional Crush damage. Enemies in a cone behind the target suffer Crush damage and have their Might reduced.
Effects[]
- Foe AoE: -2 Might for 20.0 sec, 15-25 crush damage
- User: Full Attack, +50% Damage as Crush
Mechanics[]
Torment's Reach is composed of two separate effects - a single target Full Attack and a conical foe-only AoE. The former is affected by all modifiers applicable to melee attacks, the latter uses more complicated rules - refer to the listing below for more details. As per description the recipient of the main blow is not affected by the cone and vice versa.
Effects not applicable to the AoE:
- Damage modifiers from talents[1] and weapon enchantments[2]
bypass from any source[3]- Unarmed damage and accuracy bonuses[4]
- Lashes from any source[5]
- Single weapon style bonus[6]
- Any type of proc[7]
The only ways of improving the cone damage are Might, equipped weapon accuracy and Crit damage multiplier.
