I thought foe was a synonym for enemy?

But I see a lot of spells which has "Foe aoe". There are other abilities and spell descriptions that has "Foe" in it as well. Yet "foe" word does not have any description to it. Just wondering what exactly the game considers foe to be? Does the game simply mean "enemy"? Or is it something else?

English isnt my native language maybe I'm missing something or overthinking it :p

Foe = Enemy

"Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin.

"P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle

FOE means whoever is hostile to the party at that moment (ie red circles)

 

so yea basically enemies

 

There's a saying, "Friend or Foe"

The Unofficial Pillars of Eternity Wiki - Community/Fan Maintained!

Foe AoE damages only your enemies. Plain AoE will damage friendlies if they stand in the red portion of its target area.

It means the aoe (area of effect) spell will only hit foes (enemies) and not allies such as you companions. They can stand in the blast area and not take any damage.

Wait, no, never mind. Wrong game.

If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time.

Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general.

Not all those that wander are lost...

In Danish we have the word "fæ", which I assumed was related to "foe". Problem is, the Danish word means "livestock", so I think you can imagine my confusion. ;)
