Is Chant bugged?

    [​IMG] My suspicion is that the only thing Chant actually does is add +1 To Hit, and even that might be missing at times.

    That means:
    No +1 to damage, no +1 saving throw bonus and enemies do not suffer -1 To Hit, -1 damage and -1 saving throw penalties.

    If this is correct - and I think it is - then Bless (a 1st level spell) is in every way superior to Chant (2nd level spell).
    All these years I've been using Chant and now it appears to have been pretty much useless.

    Please prove me wrong if you can! For now I'm dumping Chant from my spell selections.

    Curious. How'd you come up with this? Not noticing much of a help in combat?

    I've read on Xyx's spell pages about the same thing. I've tested it for myself, and found the +1 to hit, but the rest is indeed missing. Mayhap Baldurdash can fix this?

    Baldurdash has no fix for it. I believe Kevin Dorner replied to a post about it in April 2003 saying he would look into it, but the latest fix update on his page is from March 2003.
