Feign Deathis a very strange spell with a very recess habit . bluffly put , the spell ’s effect places an ally into a magical , protective comatoseness , where they then becomeresistant to all harm except psychic . The patch also stops any disease or poison effects and can be removed with the help action .
Feign Deathis well used on NPCs that the game stratum as an ally in situations where they need protecting , and the NPC AI just is n’t helpful . However , it seems that mostBG3players appear to be using this magic spell to pickpocket merchants once their attitude with them is maxed . Whatever use the political party feel forfeign death , it is more than a little foreign that there is a spell to put allies into a comatoseness .

Polymorphis a classicDnDspell beloved by histrion and cursed by DMs for the chaos it can bring to the tabular array .

Now , instead of any wight the spell caster can ideate , the target will now metamorphose into a sheep .
Polymorphwas such a funnyDnDspell to start out with , but somehow limiting it to only sheep has made it ten times funnier . This , of course , has led to some uproarious uses , with various bosses withinBG3giving their evil monologues to the company as sheep . Even well , as a Trickery Domain churchman , Shadowheart will mechanically learn this while at grade seven .

Greasecovers the solid ground in a deep greasy means , get that area to become unmanageable terrain with a opportunity to makeevery creature who attempts to take the air on it fall prostrate . That alone is extremely useful for controlling the battlefield ; however , another benefit of usinggreaseis that it is exceedingly inflammable .
When a tool in the grime or the grease itself is targeted with flack , either from a weapon flak or trance , the whole puddle will ignite . This does a decent amount of damage and the pool will keep on to burn for a couple of rung , damage any who pass through it . As one of thebest small spirit level enchantment inBG3,greasecreates a lot of selection for the company , even if the spell itself is a piffling peculiar .

The magical spell make a cloud of gas that smells so sorry that targets within it must make Constitution preservation throws every turn or become nauseating . When nauseous , the type can not take any actions , only fillip actions , reactions and their motion .
Quite what the swarm smells of is perhaps best left to the imagination , but just as withgrease , one can only conceive of the reasons behind creating such an unusual tour . Stinking cloudis so curiously specific and disgusting that whoever make would have had to have been very strange person indeed . no matter of its descent , stinking cloudis a fantastic spell for knocking enemy spellcasters out of a fight inBG3 , as they tend not to have very eminent Constitution stacks .

This makesOtto ’s resistless dancea howling way to immobilize an opposition during a scrap , as the only way to stop them losing a turn would be to use counterspell . The spell was create by Otto , a equal of Bigby and Melf , and an ally of the Circle of Eight . That such a powerful mage would create such a foreign , whimsical spell just adds to the charm of this fantastically useful ascendance tour .
The Circle of Eight was a collection ofDungeons & Dragonscreator Gary Gygax ’s characters , from his original Greyhawk home cause .

They say that quarrel can smart , andvicious mockerytakes that idea and bunk with it . This strange cantrip is ill-famed withDnDplayers and a raw material for bards everywhere .
