narf, I took the skill at the end of my last play-through because it sounded so versatile without the 25% HP restriction ^^

There never was a general health requirement for skill execution. Not in Loren nor in SotW. The requirement always was only for the special effect.
Target requirements are the same for AI and Player Characters, aside from equipment requirements since AI characters have none.

seriously? ha, I misunderstood the concept of instakill skills all the time and never chose them because I believed they are nearly unusable (HP limit, no bosses) - time to start LtAP again, this time with a more complete skill tree :D

Actually no, Jack added a line to the skill targets after I wrote the new AI. The skill only works when the HP are low enough. But it will work against bosses, just not the instant kill.
So unfortunately the moment you noticed reality, reality changed.

I'm fairly sure it's practically instakill anyway. I don't think there's a boss yet that could survive a 450% attack from Vaelis at 25% health, unless Vaelis has been softened up and the boss hasn't.

Yes exactly, in Loren always worked, but the insta-kill only for non-boss targets below the threshold.
Here I put the requirement, otherwise it was like a super skill (450% damage!? ) and while doesn't give insta-kill in practice does so far since no boss has a very high HP (time to try that). I guess maybe I could raise the HP % to make it usable more...

I sure would like to see a very high HP boss without heals (or at least without % heals) and infinite mana. And ridiculous speed... so that Kick and Slumber make the speed normal instead of depressing.

They'll be coming but having a single boss enemy and making him hard is always difficult to do. But with the new AI maybe I can...

Galanna BattleMages don't have very good communication skills. Yes, I understand why the first one used Life on their teammate, but then the next one did it, too...on the same teammate! Resulting in healing for 0HP.
Is this minor or major silliness?
