Venerated Rotpriest + Bounty of the Hunt = How Many Triggers?
Asked by GorehoundABB 1 year ago
Venerated Rotpriest 's ability triggers on target. However Bounty of the Hunt wording on its oracle text states 3 instances of target creature.
Does this mean with one single spell, Venerated Rotpriest could trigger 3 times and in multiples could present a poison kill?

To be clear on the above: Venerated Rotpriest will trigger multiple times if Bounty of the Hunt (or Seeds of Strength, etc.) targets multiple creatures, but not if it only targets one creature. If you target the same creature with all 3 "target creature" parts of the spell, it only "becomes a target" of that spell one time.

Since Venerated Rotpriest says "Whenever a creature" and not "Whenever one or more creatures..." it'll trigger for each target.
It's similar to how Toski, Bearer of Secrets draws for each creature, but Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar draws once.
So yes, you could pair Rotpriest with multi target spells to rack up poison quickly.
