Spirit Speak scaling#
Spirit Speak is clamped between 0 and 120 for these calculations. The values below are before the opposing-Magery penalty. Weapon damage is the companion’s configured base range, not a promised final hit.
| Spirit Speak | Base health | Base damage | Wrestling and Tactics | Base duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80.0 | 160 | 10–16 | 90.0 | 140 seconds |
| 100.0 | 180 | 11–18 | 100.0 | 160 seconds |
| 120.0 | 200 | 12–20 | 110.0 | 180 seconds |
Forms and limitations#
The summon randomly appears as a bound ossuary guardian, bound plague revenant or bound ash fiend. All three forms use the same underlying stat rules. It is immune to bleeding, disappears without a corpse and expires when its duration ends. Magery/Necromancy conflict reduces its health, damage and duration.
