De acordo com as Regras do Haunts , há uma chance de evitar os efeitos de um local:
- Observe o Assombrar como ele se manifesta, usando a verificação de sua entrada de Aviso
- Ter uma Iniciativa maior do que a Iniciativa padrão do assombrado de 10
- Use sua única ação surpresa para aplicar energia positiva ao assombrado
- Causam dano suficiente para trazer seus HPs para 0
Although haunts function like traps, they are difficult to detect since they cannot be easily observed until the round in which they manifest. Detect undead or detect alignment spells of the appropriate type allow an observer a chance to notice a haunt even before it manifests (allowing that character the appropriate check to notice the haunt, but at a –4 penalty).
Assim, você também pode detectar um local de antemão com as magias indicadas. Suponho que isso permitiria que você "atacasse" antes mesmo que se manifestasse, ou pelo menos fizesse sua aparição não ser uma surpresa.
Abaixo estão as demais regras para este aspecto:
When a haunt is triggered, its effects manifest at initiative rank 10 in a surprise round. All characters in the haunt's proximity can attempt to notice the haunt at the start of this surprise round by making a notice check)
On the surprise round in which a haunt manifests, positive energy applied to the haunt (via channeled energy, cure spells, and the like) can damage the haunt's hit points (a haunt never gains a Will save to lessen the damage done by such effects, and attacks that require a successful attack roll to work must strike AC 10 in order to affect the haunt and not merely the physical structure it inhabits). Unless the haunt has an unusual weakness, no other form of attack can reduce its hit points. If the haunt is reduced to 0 hit points by positive energy, it is neutralized -- if this occurs before the haunt takes its action at initiative rank 10, its effect does not occur.
