(un)Holy Word


Meddle.

Recommended Posts

i have a feeling these spells should bypass magic resistance.

sadly, i couldnt find valid ad&d resources on this (other than phb and dmg), but here are my arguments:

 

- the spell is not targeted on a creature

- it is not the word that affect creatures (no hypnosis here), but

- the spell invokes kinda explosion of positive (negative) energy, which, in turn, affects creatures

- positive (negative) energy is not subject to mr. after all, vampires drain levels from resistant creatures just fine.

 

having said that, i'm thinking of (un)holy smite in a vary similar way.

I understand what you mean, but similar arguments could be made for all area-effect damage spells...

 

If I were a BG2 GM, I could be swayed to the opposite opinion: MR affecting creatures' energy drain attacks.
