Transform and Damage Over Time

[Armitage]

If a Transform is bought with Damage Over Time and All Or Nothing, are the damage increments added together to determine if the Transform happens, or is each damage increment treated as a separate attack?

 

I'm assuming the latter, with a Transform that takes time to possibly affect the target being better represented by the "onset time" version of Extra Time.

 

Severe Transform 1d6, Damage Over Time, Target's defenses only apply once (6 damage increments, damage occurs every 1 Day, +0); All Or Nothing (-1/2)

vs.

Severe Transform 6d6; Extra Time (1 Week, -4 1/2), All Or Nothing (-1/2)

You should add them together. It would be a pretty useless attack otherwise, I’d imagine.

 

Sounds like it would make for a great plot device to motivate the PCs, though! “Better hurry up and find the Orb of Oolathangar, heroes, or you’ll turn into toads and the world is doomed!”
