Damage Over Time, NND, Applicability of Defense

[Nolgroth]

In the Bestiary and Fantasy HERO, some of the poisons are written up as NND RKAs with Damage Over Time, NND (appropriate immunity), and Defense Only Applies Once.

 

Does this mean that the Immunity only protects versus the first Increment or is this just an unnecessary addition to the write-up?

 

Thank you for any assistance.

It means what NND always means -- the defense negates the entire attack. As noted in the Rules FAQ, if you buy any type of AVAD with DoT, you have to pay for the "damage only applies once" modifier for DoT because of this.
