Viconia's Turn Undead (Control)

Post by krunchyfrogg »

How long does her 'control undead' ability last for?

Is it true that she has no chance of outright destroying undead?

If you attack a controlled undead, do they become hostile again?

Controlled undead work as a "Mass Charm Undead". You GAIN the control of undeads instead of destroying them.

After, you just have to kill them 1 by 1, like a charmed Monster. Yes, they will turn hostile if you hit them, but since Viconia's ability is activated each round, you can just kill them and they won't be dangerous since, if they hurt one of your party member, you can just stop attacking and charm them again. The best way to kill your charmed undeads is to make them fight, or use a spell as False Dawn or Sunray.

EDIT : I forget, her ability last... as long as you use the "Repulse Undead" option with Viconia. Just like a Bard Song. But if you charm a undead and then stop using Repulse Undead, they will just become hostile in X round (Don't know how many, but it's arround 1 Turn)

I started a game (I'm in spellhold now) with Viconia.

Here's my small party :

Dual-Class Swashy/Mage (13/14 for now)
Viconia (level 19)
Solafein (He'll be recruited in the Underdark as a Tank)

Viconia started with 900 000 XP while I had only 380 000 :D
Her "Repulse Undead" is WAY too powerful!!! I went in Bodhi's lair and charmed EVERY vampire (With a Sanctuary spell on). Then I just make the fight themselves, while turning undead so they stay in my control. They killed each other and only one survived, but not for long. A Bolt of Glory and : Bye Bye.

BTW : Sunray DOESN'T affect undead in your control (Party-Friendly Spell). I just discovered that.
