SLOW: Baldur's Gate 2 BG2


Slow BG2


Slow is a BG2 Best Spell in BioWare's cRPG of 1998-2001, Baldur's Gate 2. Slow (Alteration, SCRL1O) is an AoE debuff that inflicts a movement rate penalty and a one-point ApR penalty as well as 4 point THAC0AC and saving throw penalties.

Haste is great, right? It confers a movement rate increase and ApR +1 on one ally per caster level. But Slow potentially impacts many more enemies with its 40 ft. radius. Ideally, we cast Haste on ourselves and Slow on the enemy in order to gain a huge advantage.

  • Slow (Alteration) 
  • Level: 3
  • Range: Visual range of the caster
  • Duration: 1 turn
  • Casting Time: 3
  • Area of Effect:  40' cube
  • Saving Throw: Save vs. Spells -4.

A slow spell causes creatures to move and attack at half of their normal rates unless a save vs. spells is made with a -4 penalty. It negates haste, but does not otherwise affect magically speeded or slowed creatures. Slowed creatures have an armor class penalty of +4, and an attack penalty of -4.

Rank: God-tier.
