Your reactions to SpellPack Options

[Galactygon]

Anything that stood out to you? How do some of the other mods bode with SpellPack?

In B4, I have included a cutscenized spell, Deathbolt. It is meant to be a controversial component to see how people react to something that doesn't necessarily fit within the bounds of BGII. So far, considering there are almost 1000 downloads from B4 since January, I haven't heard anything good or bad about Deathbolt.

Hi again! I was intrigued why so few hobgoblins were been killed by dynaheir's level 7 fireball, and why so many gnolls was being able to take no damage at all when I fireballed them in the cave at bandit's camp. Then I took a look at the spell with NI, and figured the way it was made only half damage can be caused, and even none of it. The spell has an effect that causes half-damage (as intended by the description), but it offers a save vs. spell, meaning it can be skipped. The next effect grants immunity to damage if the foe fails the save, and then comes the effect that causes the other half of the total damage, this time without save. But it could have been granted from the immunity effect, which means some foes can actually take no damage at all if they fail the save two times in a row! Although it can be less seen when the game advances thru Shadows of Amn, since gnolls and hobgoblins have high savings (more chances to fail), this leads to a paradox with low level creatures being able to take none damage, while high levels take it only when they manage to successfully save, thus failing to get the immunity effect. In any case, you can never get the spell to do total damage, because when someone fail the savings, this actually means they become immune to the other half of the damage. I only checked the Fireball spell, but this mechanism may be present in many other spells, including the ones that create items or weapons.
