FS#6202 - Ineffective Dark Way Spells
The following Dark Way spells do not have an affect on monsters:
Darkness
Fear (PS#6167)
Lesser Plaque
Tire
also Freeze, Mind Drain, Shadow Form, Icy Ground, Mephitic Haze, Water Barrier, Icy Blast, Mind Paralysation, Incredible Weight, Rock Armor, Armoured Skin, Psychic Darts, Psychic Blow, Sound deprivation, Choking Gas, Phantasmal Voices
Please check all of these at various skill levels and power levels for effect.
All the spells released affect the NPCs as well as the player’s statistic. As for triggering specific behaviours, like having the NPC flee when casting the fear spell, it was a broken functionality which is now fixed in testing and will be available in production at the next release.
Also please note that not every spell will trigger a specific bahaviour, for example the Lesser Plague, Tire, Freeze, Mind Drain, … are not supposed to trigger any “special” behaviour. Setting fixed pending release.
Since chilling the air has no effect on mobs (or anyone really), perhaps actually halting the target in place with Freeze would be better. Duration and success based on caster skill, power slider, and mob strength to overcome the hold?
