Hi, I have a rules question regarding the Zorak Zorani Berserker's tastiness feature.
Quoth the rule book:
"Tasty targets: The crit range of your melee attacks against tasty targets expands by 2 (usually to a natural 18+).
Non-tasty targets: Your attacks against non-tasty targets deal only half damage."
My question has to do with various spill-over effects that the Berserker can do (that aren't the direct consequence of an attack), and whether or not they are penalized against non-tasty subjects.
For example, the spell Touch of the Ol' Ratslaff is designed to be cast on one turn (but do nothing immediately), and then discharged as an interrupt action on a subsequent turn. So let's say you cast it during a controlled turn, then next turn go berserk, then a non-tasty enemy triggers the spell. Does the enemy take the full damage, or the half damage?
Another (simpler) example: Amanstan's Master: "Twice per day, when you miss with a melee attack, deal half the melee attack’s damage as fire damage to a random nearby enemy as a free action." If the target of the fire damage is non-tasty, is the damage halved again? (Meaning: deals one-quarter damage?)
Finally, let's look at Blood Frenzy: "While you are out of control, when you make a melee attack against an enemy, hit or miss, you also deal half damage to one of your allies engaged with that enemy." Allies are never tasty. So are they receiving one-quarter damage here?
Thanks!
