How to deal with enemies with retort?

[rAaR]

The fight with the shar followers and now this random imp i found on a boat full of dead people have retort, which with my monk i cant do anything against as i kill myself in one turn. is there a way to remove retort from an enemy? a way to mitigate it other then just pushing this imp into the water?

can you shove him in the water? Does indirect damage like telekinesis, or explosive barrels, trigger it?

yes i can, but i cant do that against i think 12 or more shar followers in another fight with no water around who have radiant retort, so my chars are killing themselves more then they are doing dmg to me

No resistance potions? I tell you, a lot of stuff becomes ridiculous easy with resistance potions.

would that work? a potion would cut the reflect dmg in half but the reflect dmg is x3 so if u dealt 50 dmg, you get 150 returned to you and the potion would cut that to 75. sure would let u deal dmg in some way but its far from ideal. unless im missing something?

radiant retort only works on radiant damage. Don't do radiant damage against the shar people and it is easy peasy lemon squeasy

So, how do i do no radiant damage using paladin after level 11?
I see no option to turn improved divine smite off, so it seems like i need to respec the character just for 1 encounter which is stupid, especially considering that i just got oathbreaker and wanted to try it out.

nono, you have a menu for abilities where you should have toggled to ask you. Look at the menus

When I met that imp I just accepted I'd need to do some healing afterwards and beat it to death anyway. My party had a total hp of more than three times it's total hp so while some of us were downed by the blowback we killed it before it killed us.

I used throw and chucked the imp into the sea. The retort was x3 for a total of 3 damage. I threw it near the submerged area of the docks so I could loot it but it had nothing. Just for kicks I lured it to the other side of the boat and threw it next to the watchers at the bank docks but they didn't attack it.

that facepalm moment :D

Is that even a DND ability? Because it looks like something straight out of DOS 2.
