* Creatures immune to Death Magic (Death Ward, Deathless Frenzy) are immune to this spell. Phantasmal Killer shares this bug with Weird, which is also stopped by Death Magic. In NWN1, both spells bypassed death immunity, because the descriptor in both cases is "Fear, Mind-Affecting," and not "Death" (as in Slay Living/Finger of Death).
Unlike stock NWN 2 the Protection vs Alignment Spells do not offer immunity against Phantasmal Killer. Moreover, a target which is asleep (such as through a spell) loses its immunity against [Fear] and [Mind Affecting] and also provides a +5 bonus to the DC.
