Range
Is there any data on how far a force bolt travels? Yidda 23:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I've seen a force bolt regularly hit 5 direct squares away, but I've also seen it reach only two diagonal squares. Yidda 05:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Does force bolt do shock damage? No One Special 11:25, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- No, it's magic damage. -Tjr 11:35, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Force bolt and nymphs
I disagree somewhat with suggestions that killing Nymphs with force bolt is a 'Bad Idea'. I think that it should be the last choice of ranged attack, but also that an awake nymph should be dealt with wherever possible. A luck penalty is much less infuriating, and more manageable than the potential consequences of a your inventory items being used against you.--PeterGFin 23:35, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
