Fire Whip is a adept pyrokinetic skill in Divinity: Original Sin II.
Description[]
Skill[]
Fire Whip is a offensive pyrokinetic skill that allows character to conjure a fiery whip and lash at a single enemy in 8 meter radius. The skill deals large amount of fire damage. This skill does not create a fire surface. Characters without Magic Armour will be afflicted with Blinded and Burning status effects for 1 turn and suffer damage directly to their health.
Since Fire Whip relies on Pyrokinesis magic it cannot be cast if caster is affected by Silenced and Enraged status effects. Fire Whip skill is reflected back when the target is under Deflective Barrier skill (Definitive Edition only).
Scroll and Skillbook[]
Fire Whip skillbook is a magical item that allows its reader to learn Fire Whip skill, if they have at least 2 points into Pyrokinetic ability, and use it indefinitely. In order to be able to cast the skill, character needs 1 free memory slot. Note that the book will disappear once read. The book weights 0.5 and its base value is 500 gold. A skillbook can be crafted if a Fire Whip scroll is combined with a Blank Fire Skillbook. Since Fire Whip is an adept Pyrokinetic skill, traders will start selling the skillbook once Godwoken reach level 9.
Fire Whip scroll is a magical item that allows any character to cast Fire Whip skill, regardless of skill prerequisites, but only once. The only limiting element in casting Fire Whip this way is the amount of Action Points (AP) character has at their disposal in current turn. The scroll is craftable, weights 0.02 and has base value of 260 gold.
The cost of Action Points between Fire Whip scroll and Fire Whip skill themselves remains the same. Both the scroll and the skill itself are affected by other skills, attributes and talents that may provide additional bonuses.
Skill Modifiers[]
Damage of this skill is calculated with the following formula: (Base Damage) x (1 + Elemental Bonus%) x (1 + Attribute Bonus% + Weapon Skill Bonus %) x (1 + High Ground Bonus% + Crit Bonus%) x ( 1 + Misc Bonus %)
The damage of this skill is affected by the following attributes of the caster:
- Level
- Pyrokinetic ability
- Intelligence attribute
- Critical Damage Modifier
Out of these the most effect on the damage have Level and then Pyrokinetic ability as the latter increases damage by 5 % per point. Level provides greatest boost to the damage done. Intelligence provides the lowest bonus out of the three (3 points in Intelligence are equal to 1 point of Pyrokinetic).
When it comes to enemies they may resist fire damage if they have: Fire Immunity Status and high enough Fire Resistance (which lowers fire damage done).
Fire Whip properties can be affected by talents, consumable items (some of which may be affected by Five-Star Diner talent) and other skills.
