Shackles question

[sethmage]

i have 3rd level magic shackles and for some reason i can not use this ability on necromancer(of course i have enough leadership for that to work in theory), why is that?

[Zechnophobe]

Well, double check the leadership and that you are actually casting the level 2 or 3 version. Level 3 is, I believe, mass shackles.

Shackles worked in KBAP on necromancers, so I'm surprised to find out it isn't right now.

yeah i could have 35 necromancers and i can't shack one, 3 rd level spell with all the bells and whistles, that pissed on my parade. thanks anyway

It`s not how many necromancers you can lead, it size of enemy stack that matters. So in this case you have around 7K lds, but in spell description you should have amount of lds needed for spell to cast, it might be above your lds = so if enemy stack have 50or more necromancers you cant use shackles on them.

Well it’s official; I can’t shackle the necromancer if my life depended on it (which usually does). I killed the whole army left with one necro (just to test)and still couldn’t do it, is anybody else has this problem or I just have super necromancers.
For the record I have level 3 spell (mass effect)

I am wondering if this is a bug, too. I was using some Witch Hunters the other day and they couldn't shackle the enemy necros I found... I assumed it was because they only used the basic version but maybe it's that Necros are immune to the spell for some reason.

On an unrelated note, it's kind of funny Witch Hunters have shackle but most of the "mages" they would shackle with it are level 4 so it won't work. Or does it, and it just doesn't work on Necros?

Anyway if anybody has successfully shackled a necro do let us know.
