NWN2 Explain the spell Combust to me.
This is for the NWN2 version.
Why am I asking.
Both wikis for the nwn1 and 2 spell description state that:


It deals a random 2d6 fire damage + a constante 10 fire damage, average 16 damage at level 10 initial damage + 1d6 every round until a save is made..
This seems to work as intended in NWN1 and NWN1:EE.
HOWEVER!
In NWN2 when I cast it (vanilla, no mods whatsoever) the spell deals a whooping 60-70 (initial) damage!
If I cast it maximized I get a secured 80 damage with no initial save, only a touch attack - which is insane damage for such a low level spell (especially with Scholar of Candlekeep PRC).
Why is no one talking about this?
I haven't tested it in NWN2:EE, but this is an insange bug if so.
And the only reason I use the spell is because it comes in Qara's spellbook upon recruiting and I got this much damage at one point. And my casters also get this much damage in single player mods.
I can't be the only one who nticed it.
I know is an overlooked spell because it's not that attractive for a second level spell. But someonelse should've seen this at this point...
The NWN2 wiki stats that the spell is bugged in terms of not using metamagic feats correctly? Could that be it?
