Title: Spell question - wail of the banshee
Post by: Boxcar on December 22, 2005, 06:24:00 PM

The spell description for wail of the banshee in-game, in the Layonara campaign handbook, and in the NWN manual all say that the spell affects "all enemies within the area of effect".

I've heard from other players, however, that the wail will affect friendly people, as well (in Layonara). I found a thread in which Tathnolu describes an instance in which he did not cast it for fear of killing another party member, which also leads me to believe that is true.

So, my question is: does wail of the banshee affect party members, or only enemies within the AOE?

Thanks.

Never used the spell in full pvp myself, but it does make sense. Why wouldn't your allies suffer the effects of the spell?

No it only hurts Hostile ememies.
Now if you cast it in town the DMs will make the NPCs save.
Lord help you then.

That's encouraging, and matches the spell descriptions. but you are the first one to confirm it. Have you used the spell (outside towns)?
