Power Word spells. Quick questions
If I cast Power Word: Fatigue (Races of the Dragon) twice at the same target, does that target become exhausted? Likewise would casting Power Word: Pain (Same Source) two or more times stack up the spell's damage every round?

Re: Power Word spells. Quick questions
I'm not sure that quote applies Prinny. The OP is talking about stacking tiredness, not applying the same effect at different strengths.
I seem to recall that tiredness-stacking works like fear-stacking - e.g. casting Scare over and over at one target can lead to panic.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Oops. I was only talking about Power Word: Pain. Honest.

Re: Power Word spells. Quick questions
I always wondered about the fear stacking, as it seems to be the only exception to "Things from the same source don't stack".
Well, that and Morale bonuses, which apperently stack as well.

Re: Power Word spells. Quick questions
@Private-Prinny: I dont know if it applies there either. Multiple Acid Arrow (for example) spells deal their individual damage each round.
I lean more toward the "they do stack" side of the issue, but I wanted some opinions from the playgrounders before I start Exhausting party members for shiggles. Oh and using it against monsters too I guess.
I'm playing an Invoker, so I get them at will.
Fear and exhaustion specifically state that they stack, but I wasnt sure about when it comes from the same spell.
Edit: Along those lines, I wish sickened stacked to produce Nausea, that would be sweet. This Character could use 2 rounds to make people puke on command, since he also gets power word: sicken.Last edited by Jarrick; 2010-12-12 at 11:19 PM.
