Normally animate dead is suppose to summon skeletons but I'm summoning ghasts instead. Was the spell changed or is this a bug? Anyone else experiencing this?

    I think the spell scales with level. In BG2, you can summon Warrior Skeletons and other nasty stuff. I don't know whether ghasts are intended, though.

    I am experiencing this. If it's a bug, it's the coolest bug in the world XD

    If it is a bug, let's hope they don't know about it, I'm tired of skeletons - so shhhhh.... ;)

    I get Ghast too, seems abit overpowered! Maybe Ghouls, but not Ghasts!

    This seems to be a bug.
    The internal file in BG2 representing the skeleton is named "ghastsu".
    Despite this internal name it's still skeletons.

    Now things seem to have gotten confused, I guess.

    @Aegir_Fellwood Yes, let's keep this on the down-low. You used to be able to summon one skeleton per caster level in vanilla BG, so summoning one or two Ghasts is an even trade in my book. :)

    In fact, they should add a 5% chance to cast Koraxx the friend in conjunction with Ghasts! :D
