It works on nearly everything in SoA and very much in ToB...say that u r going through Athkala and u get jumped by bandits while going between Areas...a Deathspell kills all except 1-2 of them

I don't know; maybe my game is buggy?

All I know is that it's never worked for me. As it is, I get by with Holy Smite, Cloudkill, Death Fog, Finger of Death, etc...I've had no problems, so I haven't missed it.

Sazerac, did you fully patched your game (although i never heard of such bug)?

And, i'll join Dundee and LennonCook by saying, YES, Death Spell is worth it, especially when you are soloing and you save your spells.

Nothing like killing 20-30 spiders in one spell... Go to the graveyard, you'll see what i mean...

You know there is this one time you had to save the Drow lady from the Mind Flayers? I casted Death Spell once and killed them all, Mind Flayers and Umber Hulks.

De'Arnise Keep was a pushover, since Yuan-Tis, Umber Hulks, Spirit Trolls and Trolls are all affected by Death Spell. Only the Giant Trolls and Torgal are not affected.

I was laughing my way through Tradesmeet too, because of Death Spell.

See a Mage summoning Mordenkainen's Swords? Cast Death Spell! Nishruus? Death Spell! etc... ... Only gated creatures are immuned, like Demons and Devas/Planetars.

Death Spell is party friendly, area-of-effect and very useful. Not to mention that it can quickly tip the odds in your favour in just one round. One spell, so much goodness.

Oh, and in Watcher's Keep... there was this one battle when you had to keep on fighting Orcs. With Death Spell, my Xp level busted the roof. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I chose to get the death spell and since then its working great for me too but hey im still in chapter 3. One more thing i used this spell in a place with 5 unber hulks and 2-3 minotaurs and boom 25000+ XP in just one spell !

Good ol trusty deathspell...you GOT to love it...

I did for fun once and CLUAConsoled in 50 Minotarus just to check...one deathspell took them all out !

Lots of corpses around my sweet little Char !
It works on like EVERYTHING !
Trolls...topple over instantly. Acid thingy poff.
Took out 20 Trolls with a Deathspell and a fireball

That's odd, as I know Torgy is vulnerable to Cloudkill. I cleared out the Umber Hulk room, and tossed a Cloudkill into TorGal's room to do some hurt & bring them to the doorway, but instead I instantly get the message:
TorGal- Death
He didn't even take any damage. I was laughing for a while....

Hey how long have you and "torgy" been pals. And yes it happened to me too, with a swish of my magic cloudkill wand "torgy" was no more.
