Featherfall doesn't work

[Spookworm]

Featherfall says that it keeps fall damage from becoming lethal, so I cast it and tried to use it to jump into the underdark (wanted to take a shortcut to finish the blacksmith plans.) but my entire party died immediately. I read about other people doing this, so I thought it would work. Is that not the case?

whispering depths cave? i remember being able to do it but it was a bit ago

This happened to me inside the Moonrise Towers. I didn't know Ketheric Thorm was invulnerable, & he pushed my Rogue (with 20 DEX) off the rooftop to his death.

It lasts 10 turns. It does work and I've glided down into the Underdark myself.

I suppose the question is; did you wait too long before jumping? Or were you outside the radius when the spell was cast? Or did you accidentally right click and cancel the spell?

Was it the correct giant hole? There is very very few correct holes and lots and lots of death holes.

It's important to be in Turn Based Mode when you attempt this. The clock runs very fast in Real Time mode and your spell can expire while team members are floating on their way down. Making their trip down much faster than anticipated.

You also need to make sure your entire party has feather fall on, otherwise they will die. It can't be just you.

Wrong hole.

[Spookworm]

@lain Yes, it was the whispering depths cave, in the spot with the Matriarch Spider.

I think what probably happened is what Ironwu said, I wasn't in turn-based mode, and jumped (literally) immediately after casting, but I guess it must have already worn off within a second? That's the only thing I can think of happening.

(And yes, I had it activated for my entire party. And no, it was definitely not the 'wrong hole,' I still got the cut-scene for falling into the underdark, its just that despite casting featherfall on everyone, I got the one for freefalling instead and died. Our corpses were in the Underdark afterwards, pffft. Then I got the prompt to load my game because everyone was dead.)

Wrong hole.

That's what she said!

I'm using it right now at the Arcane Tower. Works great.

Just like dating over 30.

There is a cutscene for everybody falling to their deaths?

LOL, yes. The one I saw in clips with featherfall activated, you just float gently down, but mine was like, flailing..screaming...freefalling. And then I was dead! It was actually kind of funny. I imagine this also happens if you just accidentally get knocked into the chasm too, which would probably be a funnier way to see it.

The developer made a great clip about that
