Anyone else getting skeleton warriors from the lvl 3 cleric spell?
Branwen just turned lvl5 and I was very suprised that I got them instead of the small skeletons...sometimes I even get 2 like in the pic below. Spell description says this should only happen at caster level 15.

    Originally when BG:EE was released, Animate Dead would summon... ghasts. They thought it was OP and nerfed it in a later patch to skeleton warriors (you get 1 or 2). But they are nowhere near as strong as what you get at lvl.15.

    They do scale up along with the caster's level, if you search the forum you might find exactly how. I think the last verison you get in BG1 (lvl.7 or lvl.8, not sure) is immune to normal weapon, which is quite nice.

    The spell was overhauled to have a consistent use at all levels, the description just hasn't been updated yet. It summons lvl scaled skeletons warriors at certain milestones (5-6, 7-10, 11-14, 15+) that slowly grow in str, level, and MR till they hit the 15+ version.

    There's a new version update that hasn't been applied yet that makes each level of skeleton warrior more visually distinct, and removes the chance for summoning multiple warriors with a single spell, since they're plenty powerful to be worth the slot with just 1.

    Nah, the 7-10 version just has a +1 weapon, and is a little higher level and stronger then the 5-6 version. The 11-14 version I don't know...the 15+ is the only one that is for sure immune to non-magical weapons. Though all version have the same skeletal properties making them resistant to slashing, piercing, and missiles.
