DC100 Web spell
DC100 Web spell
I've gotten quite a taste for using the DC100 shadow web spell while I hold melee PC's in place and wait for them to fail their save vs Death Magic. It also works a treat for racking up LOTS of xp by sticking big clumps of guards/gnolls/etc in place then nuking the crap out of them all at once.
It just seems a little unfair. I am wondering if this spell needs fixing? The "Shadow" versions of spells are Illusions? Therefore I would think that immunity:mind spells (i.e. Clarity, Mind Blank, etc) would stop people getting held by these webs. Is that the case? I haven't tested it out but I would hope that is the case.
I was thinking either the DC should be lowered OR immunity:mind spells should stop this from working. I am guessing Freedom of Movement stops this spell as well.
Having said that.... PHEAR MY DC100 WEB AND FINGERS OF DEATH + WAILS!!!!!!! Muahahahaha!
All we need now is either a PvP scoreboard or a global announcement like on Dark Sun PW where it goes "< X > has killed < Y >!"

You are probably right. Have only read that the DC's calcullated for the sub level spells like shadow web were corrected in the comming patch. Not sure if this also applies to the spell resistance or if it is intentional
Hehheee, my bard will try to stay away from you, he is scared of the bigbys. Bad experiences in his early life

Function should be more like description. Freedom doesn't apply, think of the hand like a normal NPC. Oh, banish and dismissal will pop hands as well. They still need work though.
The trick with banish is that (like all spells) you have to be standing...if the bigby's continually knocks you down, then you might as well forget about it.

Shadow variant spells are from a completely different form of magic, hence SR does not matter with them. The Shadow Weave was created by Shar as a way of ursurping power from Mystra... yadda yadda yadda
ANyways, Shadow variant spells are not normal magic spells, hence normal magic protection does not apply.

Think you are lazy?
I once coded a 1300+ line library in C++ to avoid having to write 200 lines of code.
Bringing laziness to a whole new level

yes i know using the bugged web is exploitation. yes i know i shouldn't do it, however i only cast the web on myself. that way if anyone wishes to do me harm is caught by their own hostility, then i kill them cuz they're stuck and bothering me.
when death comes for you and you are not afraid, if he asks why tell him you met me
