Talk:Silence (spell)

From NWNWiki

This is listed as a Will save (as well as being affected by SR). If you cast this on yourself and your opponent is immune to mind-affecting (epic Monk, Protection: alignment, etc.) and walks into the area of effect, does it negate the effect?

I know "Allows a Will save" != "Immune to mind-affecting prevents it" but I was wondering if anyone has tested it.

Does a silence zone affect the Move Silently skill checks in any way? If so, how? Bromium 16:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

• Creature affected by silence cant be detected by listen check, but! Creature with silence can still use listen check... wierd. i tested it and its true. -> ILKAY

I made a few tests about casting it on yourself then walking up to the mage:

• Immunity to Mind spells do not work - enemy will be silenced
• Spell Mantles does work - but you only need to get a little away from the mage (so he will be outside the AoE) then walk up to him again. This costs him another 2 levels of spell mantle. You can do this until it eates up all the mantles. Sure it takes a little time and that can be deadly...
• Strangely, Globe of Invulnerability does NOT protect the enemy (Silence is lvl 2 spells so enemy should be immune to it)

Seems like clerics can kill mages at last? :)

A minor thing: if you cast Silence then walk through an area transition the visual effect is removed, but the spell is still on. Praetor 00:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
