Horror spell (fear)

Does not work? Anyone else? I mean they do get yellow circles and it seems they start to flee, but they then turn around and attack. Anyone else?

They will run but if you're close enough they will lash out. They will just not persistently attack because they're panicked.

Its a level 1 spell, low save roll and they roll to break out of it basically each turn, it wont work after a while with stronger creatures, you better switch to Confusion later on, not only is it harder to save against, enemies can also attack their allies :)

Ehrm , a level 2 spell. And the Horror effect is tied to a number of other spells, like the Clerics lvl 4 Circle of fear spell. What changes up and down the level line is the save it allows, and what it affects.

If you cast it and use it to regroup and buff or heal, it works as it says it does, monsters will move away from you IF they can. If they cannot they "might" retaliate. The Clerics have a similar effect on Undead that are turned. If backed into a corner, they "might" retaliate.

Yes it not working the same as in Bg2. In Bg it almost usefull as web but in IwD it not as good.
