| |  Finger of death sucks
Anyway, I just finished Senai and was feeling kinda nasty upon my return to Ankethlan.. So I noticed three cows walking about and cast finger of death on one of them with my 21 level Sorcerer... Oh my.
Hold your breath - the cow saves and i read that i did 12 damage to the cow and now it runs circles in fear!
So much for the 8th level death spell.. If you can't manage to kill a cow with it what use in it at all 
Anyway, I laughed my pants off  |

LOL! Go cow go!
Finger of Death does indeed suck, though I did kill something important with it once. Woo! |

Well, Maharlika, definetely i believe it was just pure luck for that poor cow, since it rolled 18 to save.. But the fact was really funny |

| I guess Mr. Sleep's cow was darn lucky too!
He must have fed his cows with one of his placebo stuff he uses for his pipe... |

FoD can be a very effective spell. It's like any of those which engage a save for spells: just lower the resistance of your opponent, first.
Frequently this is time-consuming, but it's amazing how effectively and quickly it will work on occasion. I once lowered the resistance of a big demon while doing the Planar Sphere Quest, and cast that miserable level 2 aging spell on it. Believe it or not, the thing took! A summoned monster gave it a tiny cut, about 3 hitpoints of damage, and it keeled over. Probably cholesterol-clogged veins, IMO.

Well sure, everybody knows that, and some nasty casters kill dragons this way (time stop, improved alacrity, 7 lower resistance, time stop, improved alacrity, lots of nasty damaging spells  ) -- but the COW!!!!! |

| That cow probably survived and resistant from that Mad Cow disease... 
Hey, Rentgen! Better get a DNA sample of that COW. You'd probably get a Nobel Peace Prize for that! |

Any spell that depends on a failed save should better have something to make up for it... In the case of Finger of Death, this is a -2 save penalty, insta-kill, and a bit of damage if the save passes. This is not worth a level 8 slot, IMO. Polymorph Other also insta-kills on a failed save, but is only a level 4 spell. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
