Question about Demoralize sigil

Post by Chicken Slayer »

I know that for some similar effects (e.g Turn Undead), a level 25 spell will affect all levels. So why is it that at sigil stones for Demoralize affect levels below when they are found? Doesn't that mean the effect is already obsolete when you get it?

Because programmers are human, prone to mistakes, and QA bebuggers are lazy.

Yup.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Taht sux. I couldn't find it mentioned on the demoralize or the sigil wiki page.

Your profile says that you play on PC, am I correct? That should mean that you have the Construction Set, so you could change those values to just about anything you want . . .

The wiki page on Sigil Stones has a table that shows the spell strength of the Demoralize stone is half of what it should be. The Transcendent is set at 50 instead of the 100 points needed to establish that "Level 25" effect.
