Doom is a 1st level priest spell. It impairs a target, reducing their THAC0 and saving throws.
Description[]
| “ | This spell causes a feeling of doom to overwhelm the target. For the duration of the spell, the target receives a +2 penalty to all their rolls, including THAC0 and Saving Throws. There is no Saving Throw for this spell. | ” |
Gameplay[]
- While the description implies there are other effects, the only rolls that this spell affects are THAC0 and Saving Throws.
- In the original Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal, this spell is cumulative with itself. In the Enhanced Editions, it does not stack with itself.
- It will stack with other saving throw modifications such as Greater Malison. It will not stack with Spirit Fire, as that spell uses the same status effect as Doom.
