Bugged domains?
« on: June 20, 2018, 02:38:36 PM »
On my cleric with plant domain and wisdom 17, cha 14 it says you can turn vermin as though they were undead but I go up to rats and try it and nothing happens.
Regular turning undead works but why would it say you can do that if you can't?
I don't think that is intentional.

I would understand if he couldn't turn dire rats, spiders, etc. but regular rats should be getting spooked. That's what was advertised in the description. Huh!

Vermin in NWN are invertebrates.

So he should be turning stuff like beetles and spiders then, right?

That's what I've seen it used for.

So far not working much. I'm wondering if maybe my cha needs to be higher or what...

So rats don't count as vermin? Odd.

Rats in D&D are just animals. Iridni already provided the definition for vermin in D&D/NWN. Its a race-type.

Just trying to wrap my head around rats *not* counting as vermin was all.

The etymology of vermin is similar to "worm," so it's not that strange.

Also, vermicelli comes from the same root!
