Spell Question: Phantasmal Killer

[dr_nukem]

SRD Quote:
Only the spell’s subject can see the phantasmal killer. The character see only a shadowy shape. The subject first gets a Will save to recognize the image as unreal. If the subject fails, the phantasm touches him, and he must succeed at a Fortitude save or die from fear. Even if the Fortitude save is successful, the subject takes 3d6 points of damage.

So, what's the DC for the Fortitude save? Is it the same as the original will save?

If you had a spellcaster with Greater Spell Focus, an 18 base stat, this spell would have a Death Save of a 22! Holy Crikey Batman!!!

Both saves are the same...

Phantasmal Killer is nice, but if you're really out for blood, take the same spellcaster (base stat 18 + Greater Spell Focus) and cast Polymorph Other: Fish. Only one save vs. the two you get from Phantasmal Killer.

As for the question, nwn_deadman said it all.

I've never really been very big on spell casters...I usually play a run in and beat the crap out of them fighter type, so I'm not as up on good spell combinations as I probably should be...

Thanks guys

Hmm. That isn't really impressive, wait until you get high lvl forgotten realms chars: 55 is possible
