Ok, I noticed that it's not possible for me to use the spell Bestow Curse. When I select my target after I chose which curse I wanna use it says "Not enough time". I tried it after moving and before moving with the same result. I don't remember having this problem when I still played the 6.1 NC version of Co8. Sorry if this a known bug.
You are probably not close enough. There's quite some spells which demand you to be in close range to your target, plus needing a full round action. Cure X Wounds won't work either if you're not close enough, and once you passed into the "yellow" zone, none of your spells will work Pity my party isn't high enough in lvl, otherwise I could check it out. Though I hardly think Bestow Curse is a good combat spell...
Now I might be wrong (can't check atm), but IIRC, Bestow Curse is touch range, and I *think* it's also a full round action spell. So you have to be standing next to the target and not have moved the round you try to use it.
Bestow Curse is indeed a Touch spell. You need to be next to your target in order to use it. It only uses up your Standard Action.
Ok thx guys. But wouldn't my cleric run up to the enemy and use the spell normally? At least that#s what happens when I cure wounds... Maybe she can't run far enough. I'll have to try.
Just to clarify: your cleric has to be able to run up and still have time left to use the spell. The game can be inconsistent in applying this sort of thing sometimes. I still don't understand the way cure wounds works.
