Power Word Kill
You utter a word of power that can compel one creature you can see within range to die instantly. If the creature you choose has 100 hit points or fewer, it dies. Otherwise, the spell has no effect.
Easy to make misstake, butit was Power Word: Pain,not Kill.You speak a word of power that causes waves of intense pain to assail one creature you can see within range. If the target has 100 hit points or fewer, it is subject to crippling pain. Otherwise, the spell has no effect on it. A target is also unaffected if it is immune to being charmed.
Thats what ended up being used yes, but the meme pretty obviously is referring to someone being scared they're going to be Power Word: Killed
Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing that out.
Crucio!
Crucify!
I would not give an NPC a spell like that so I suggest this:
Power Word Incapacitating Tickles
You utter a word of power that can compel one creature you can hear within range to fall over squirming and laughing, begging you to stop the imaginary tickles until you choose to end it's effect. If the target has less than 100 hit points it takes effect, otherwise the target enjoys the sensation that feels like tummy rubs and is charmed for one round.
When they put you against someone using it in Baldur's gate 3 the make it a three turn ritual, so you just need to break the caster's focus and you get a few goes at it
A word that takes 18 seconds to say must be impressive. No wonder it's a 9th level spell. By the way which character has power word kill in bg3? I beat the game without encountering anyone with that spell.
I don't recall which encounter it was, either late act 2 or early act 3, probably underground
