    [​IMG] I have a very annoying problem, my cleric's evil spells (slay living, harm, destruction) does not function normally!He has 28 wisdom, spell focus necromancy:2 so his DC for the destruction spell should be:
    10+7+9+4=30!
    I don't believe I am wrong, right? But everybody saves soo easily! A wimpy goblin saved my ultimately horrible destruction spell with a fortitude save of 13! WHY? Everybody saves my spell even they roll a 2 on the dice and no matter their fortitude saves are. But if they get a natural 1, it is like a critical miss, and the spell works.(it happened only ONCE.)
    SO my uber powerfull spell have %5 chance of working?Why and how can I make it work?
    Harm is even more confusing, victims roll a fortitude save TWİCE and not affected unless it is a natural 1.
    Destruction Sometimes have the graphic effect of a dying rose, but do only 10d6 damage.(even it was 20 or lower on the save.)
    Wizard spell Lich Touch doesn't work like all above.I am utterly frustrated and furious! I wonder the reasons for this:

    1-My character is a multi-classed cleric-wizard. Can it be the case?(NAY, my pure wizard's Lich Touch does not work either)

    2-He is a Silverstar of Selune,a priest of good alignment, so he can't cast evil spells properly?(NAY, a Stormlord of Talos's spells are also useless.)

    3-Are all necromantic spells bugged in my game?(NAY,Finger of Death and Wail of the Banshee works,thank the Gods.)

    4-Old version?(NAY,I have the latest patch installed.)

    I hope you understand my problem,I am from Turkey and if I have grammar errors, please forgive me!
    I am looking forward for your replies! PLEASE HELP ME or I will have to abandon the game! IT is soo annoying to see my powerfull spells not be able to do anything...
    Thank you all in advance.

    I realized now, This also happens to spells Darts of Bone, and Black Blade of Disaster! They are saved easily and automatically, unless its a natural roll of 1!

    FUNNY, my necromancers Finger of death must have a DC of 30 too, but enemies fail even they get a 32 on fortitude save???
    (he has 29 int, spell focus necromancy:2)
    What's happening?The game has gone mad?
    Why all DCs are acting strangely?
    PLEASE HELP ME!
    I can do nothing!
    I will hate this beautiful game, it makes fun of me!
    Am I completely wrong in somewhere?
    Or is it a bug?

    OUCH,I realized enemies spells ar bugged too! Isair's Black Blade of disaster and Madae's harm have %5 chance of working even fortitude save is weak.
    WHYYYYYYY?

    [​IMG] NO NO NO it is not something like that, I can see monster's saving throws via battle dialogue(enabled it from options) so even my spell's DC is 30, monster saves easily even on a total save of 20! or less! They only fail on a natural 1!
    Spells are bugged!
    Though other spells such as Disintegrate, Finger of Death and Wail of the Banshee DO kill massive groups of enemies even in HOF! (and I did finish HOF TWİCE thanks to those spells.)
    But, slay living, harm, destruction, black blade of disaster, darts of bone, lich touch are utterly bugged and do not function properly!(their DCs are bugged and very very low.)
    But whyyyy? Do those spells work properly in your games?
    I want to cryy.... :(
