Nah, that's only when I start using only Chromatic Orbs to kill Dragons, Illithids and Beholders. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Good luck.
I will sit here and laugh while my
spook does a different kind of Insta-kill, but with a -12 penalty in comparision to your Orb. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Frightened enemies have a tendency of ending up dead.

Like we said many times before, and we'll keep saying in the future - a matter of playing style, i guess. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I just prefer spells that always work.
Failure annoys me. Call me perfectionist.

As I mentioned before in the other thread, my style consists of bombarding the enemy with so many spells that one way or another, the enemy will die. The stoning metaphor if you recall.
Call it success on a broader scale.[/QUOTE]I'll call it unnecessary-use-of-blah-spells, if you don't mind. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That is, i would rather throw a Teleport Field that would actually do something now than a Greater Malison that might help another spell later.
On the same logic, i would memorize Project Image, or even Power Word : Stun (yes, i know that Pw:S is HP dependent) instead of Finger of Death anyday. Pw:S means death anyway, becuase Stun causes Auto-Hits(TM).
And we both know the merits of Project Image... Right?

Greater Malison and Feeblemind are level 4 and 5 spells respectively. Project Image and Power Word:Stun are both level 7 spells.[/QUOTE]I was comparing my Teleport Field AND (Project Image OR Pw:S) to your Greater Malison AND Finger of Death.

You have to wait until the enemy is of sufficiently low HP to use PW:S.

Actually, 90HP is quite
above the HP of your average BG2 SoA-ToB monster.

I on the other hand, can render the enemy impotent PERMANENTLY( compared to a few measly rounds with PW:S) much earlier, leading to much fun as you plot ways to exercise your sadism. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Feeblemind is for perverts. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
And these "few measly rounds" are all i need, you know...
