Chaos spell may cause the Confused Status Effect.
Description[]
| “ | The effects of this spell are identical to the 4th-level spell Confusion in all respects. The victims wander around as if in a daze, sometimes wandering away, sometimes attacking either friend or foe. If the victim is 4th level or lower, <PRO_HESHE> does not receive a Saving Throw vs. the effects. However, if the victim is 5th level or higher, <PRO_HESHE> receives a Save vs. Spell with a -4 penalty. The spell lasts for the duration or until a successful Dispel Magic is cast. | ” |
Gameplay[]
The caster selects a target point on the map to direct the spell towards, and the spell has a 35' range from the caster.
When cast, a sparkling projectile travels to the designated targeting point and expands in 30 feet radius circle area of effect.
Enemy creatures present in this spell's area of effect are potentially adversely exposed and must roll a Saving throw versus Spell with a -4 penalty or suffer the effects.
Low level Non-party creatures get no saving throw if they have only 4 hit dice or lower.
Victims who fail their save will be afflicted with a Confused effect for the spell's duration, as calculated by the caster's level.
Player characters affected by this spell will show a "Chaos" special effect Icon (No. 47) on their portrait.
Any creature that fails its save also triggers a text display on the combat log reading "Confused".
For defenses against the Confused status effect, see the linked article.
The Chaos spell specifically can also be blocked by Spell Immunity: Enchantment or magic resistance.
The spell is similar to the lower 4th level arcane spell Confusion; however, this spell has a larger Saving throw penalty.
