Spells in Planescape:Torment
Comments0this wiki
Leveling up The Nameless One as a Mage is surprisingly easy; not only do Mages gain levels with less XP than Fighters, but there are opportunities to gain more XP from mage-only quests. Completing the Mebbeth line of quests (once The Nameless One (TNO) actually becomes a mage) and more importantly, extracting the Teachings of Zerthimon from Dak'kon's Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon inventory item, and other quests that TNO can do only as a mage, will yield enough XP to get TNO to eighth level Mage without leveling up in any other way.
Spells in Planescape:Torment follow Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) rules in that the Mage must rest to replenish each spell used; Priest spells are gained automatically.
Resting places, RPGClassics. Incomplete, missing Abandoned House, Lower Ward, 2400, 2930, and so possibly others
During the extended animation of spells such as Elysium's Tears and Cloudkill, enemy movement is halted and the player cannot issue new commands to Player characters, but Player Character movement commands already issued will be executed; the player can used this "free movement" to advantage (especially against ranged enemies!), but beware of sending characters to potentially dangerous locations while the casting of such spells is being prepared.
During these animations, the Damage over Time of spells such as Swarm Curse will continue ticking, but then stop halfway through, for damage that is delivered sooner but reduced in total.
