Ouroboros226 46 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited April 19, 2015 by Ouroboros226 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PBJam 128 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 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" Quote The Unofficial Pillars of Eternity Wiki - Community/Fan Maintained!

Lady Evenstar 103 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Foe AoE damages only your enemies. Plain AoE will damage friendlies if they stand in the red portion of its target area. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaultDuke 21 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general. Link to post Share on other sites

Serdan 113 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
