There are a few allowed defenses during the three count, though: Dodge/Phase/Resist/Return. Otherwise they take damage. I notice many defenses are not on the list, things like: Reduced, Threshold, Immune, Incorporeal, Damage Cap. I assume this means that if I hit a creature Immune to Normal Weapons during its three count with a normal longsword it takes full damage. Is that right? Also the creature can't call damage cap or reduce from damage during the three count. "Dumb defenses" and other passive traits and immunities are still "on" while rifting. For example, an undead is not vulnerable to gas just because it's in mid-rift. If you have to consciously use a game ability (dodge, phase, return, or resist), it will interrupt the rift. Defenses that automatically go off, like "no effect" and "shield magic" may be called without interrupting the 3-count. See page 85: Counted Actions [ Edited Mon Apr 16 2012, 08:53AM ] | ||

Also the creature can't call damage cap or reduce from damage during the three count. All the creature can do is perform their counted action. Using game skills and abilities interrupts the Rifting. Once interrupted, they will have to start again from the beginning. This is because Rifting is a concentrated action. This is why rifting creatures are "vulnerable" while rifting. The creature is not suddenly affected by things it is immune to, just because it is Rifting. Threshold, Immune, Damage Cap, Damage Reduction - these are continuous effects that are always up. The creature is "100% vulnerable" to things that would affect it. If the creature is in the middle of Rifting and calls Dodge, their 3-count was interrupted and must now start over. | ||

Immunity, cap, etc should work normally as it is constantly active and not a per use defense. That's how I have seen it played at some chapters, but I don't usually let my nova rift that close that it is an issue. | ||

Per the rules for Planar Gate (bolded for emphasis): A person may not be on both sides of the gate - as soon as they break the plane of the gate on one side they shift across to the other side. From one side of the gate to the other; combat is impossible; vision is limited and often completely impossible. | ||

Corey your character is not in control of the Rift action; whatever is Rifting you is controlling it. You are BEING Rifted, not using a skill, ability or power. Regardless of if you are required to actually count or not. Refusing a Rift - no you cannot refuse being Rifted out. You have no defense against it. | ||
