Silencing don't work?

[LordSith]

Hi,

In the room where a girl is hold hostage by Yanos I used a Silence cleric spell level 2 but then, the enemies could move and be free to cast their spells. The game tool tip wrote "silenced" on all enemy npcs.

Is silence a area spell which dispell when you leave the area?? In no other game does it work like that so I find that really strange.

Edit apparently it works like a area spell... that's really not what the spell describe.
(Sorry for no further report, I'm going back to pathfinder kingmaker until next version which remove the CTD's.)

Yes, Silence is a terrain-affecting spell. The enemies lose their silenced condition when they leave the Silence area.

Silence is an area spell in 3.5 too. For the silence that sticks to a particular caster, you want Mute or Mass Mute.
