Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Phantasmal Killer

Doesn't necessarily need homebrewing, somewhere a long time ago I found the following such effects for those spells:

Phantasamal Killer level 4 - Constitution save for damage, if failed Wisdom save for death
Improved Phantasamal Killer level 7- Wisdom save for death, damage on save
Weird level 9 - mass IPK

The were basically rewritten as such to be Wisdom save death alternatives for FOD / Wail in necromancy which were constitution saves.

The catch being if you specialized in either Illusion or Necromancy for improved DC, they were opposing forbidden schools so you could only have either.

Necromancy also had Circle of Death at level 6 which was made a 2 save mass kill with negative levels on the first failed save.

These spells were correctly used in Dungeons and Dragons online, minus Improved PK and Weird, I think it was one of the 3rd edition rulesets.
