Poison spell not working

Remove all ads!

Hi, how come the enemies ALWAYS make their saves against the poison spell? It doesnt have a plus to save and i even checked it with dltcp, wtf is going on? and im 99% sure its not a mod problem.
I have patch and baldurdash and some not-changing-poison spell mods


Help me...

 

You know I too have noticed that the poison spell rarely works. No clue why though!

(isn't that just a HORRIBLE spell level as far as choice goes?)

 

You are probably just very unlucky (the random number generator isn't brilliant) or using the spell on enemies with good saves vs. poison. I tend to prefer other spells.

 

I don't think I've ever bothered with this spell. It would be a decent offensive weapon in BG1, but in BG2 it's weak and near-useless, just like Protection From Acid (and a few others).

 

I dont think its random because ive used in on many encounters and ive even tried to cast like 8-10 dooms and THEN 5-8 poison spells so i guess its a hardcoded mistake?

 

It won't be hardcoded. If you're seeing a message saying the enemy saved when you cast the spell, then that's what happened, and it should give a value for what the enemy rolled as a save. If the game isn't reporting that the target saved, and there's still no effect, then whatever you're trying to cast it on is probably immune to poison damage, or fourth level spells, or something.

If you have Baldurdash then doom doesn't stack.

 

High level fighters and monsters have good save ve paralyze/poison/death since they are tough. High level clerics and even low level ones will have a very easy time saving vs death as their god protects them. (PS:A level 1 cleric will have a save vs death:10! ) But mages will always have sucky save vs death, so use Poison and Wail of the Banshee against mages, they will fail big time.

 

i used it in soa vs some enemies in the docks that i cant remember probably some thiefs and im'a just fix the doom spell so it does stack

 

How can you fix doom spell to stack? I loved the power of the spell!

 

I used dltcp, baldurdash does so when you are hit by the doom spell it makes you immune to the doom spell for the duration of the spell, i just removed that effect

 

Wow, wish I knew that much coding.

 

it's not much, i could guide you through it if you use dltcp
