Hey everybody,
Today I played a session of Pathfinder, and my Lvl 1 Sorcerer had the spell "Color Spray". But everytime I used color spray the fights became extremely onesides because the enemies hit were usually stunned for 6 rounds, leaving us a long time to kill them. Now my GM said that something's not right about that, and we checked the spell.
If I understand the spell correctly the enemys are stunned for the whole duration, which is (assuming 2HD or less) 2d4 + 1d4 + 1, but they are only made unconscious for the first 2d4, and only blinded for the first 2d4 + 1d4. So that means if I roll a 2 on every roll, they are stunned for a total of 7 rounds, which to me sounds a lot like "save or die". Of course I understand that the stronger the enemies become the worse the spell becomes but I just want to make sure if I understand it correctly.
What I also did not understand why the enemies are stunned longer than they are blinded. Because if they are stunned anyway then what use has it to blind them, since they can't take any actions.
