Description¶
When uttered, this spell turns the priest into a bridge between his deity and the Prime Material Plane, allowing him to funnel magical energy to smite all creatures of good alignment in the area of effect. The effects differ depending on the target’s Hit Dice:
– Fewer than 4: Death – 4 to 7: Stunned for 1 turn – 8 to 11: Slowed for 1 turn with a 75% chance of spell failure
– 12 and up: Deafened for 1 turn with a 50% chance of spell failure
There is no Saving Throw; the effects are instantaneous and last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. Unholy Word can only be cast by evil-aligned priests.
