Horn of Blasting

The Horn of Blasting is an item that can be found in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition game editions.
==Description==
General desctiptionIdentified description
== Gameplay ==
The item is placed in a character's "Quick Item" slot {like a wand or scroll is used), and the player selects the item with the game interface cursor to select a targeted area of effect.
The horn launches a fast-moving projectile that explodes centered at the point selected by the player, in exactly the same radius as a fireball - in fact it looks just like a fireball.
The projectile can be aimed so that it doesn't affect the user and has a listed range of 50 feet.
Despite the description, and mention of "poor Julius" being blown apart, this horn's sonic attack only affects hostile creatures in the area of effect of the shockwave. These effects are:
* Suffer 2d10 Crushing damage, Save vs. Death for half.
* Save vs. Death or be Stunned for 2 rounds. Failure means the creature is Helpless, and a text is displayed reading "Stunned".
* Save vs. Death or be Knocked backwards from the source of the explosion, which has a 2-second duration, and the force moves the victim up to 10 feet distance.
The horn makes a unique sound effect as well.
All of the horn's effects are non-magical and have 0 Power level, and the sonic attack is "school less" with no secondary type.
There are no defenses against the effects, other than crushing damage mitigation, or immunity to Stun and Wing buffet effects.
== Aquisition ==
The horn can be found in Firkraag's Maze, a dungeon level reachable from the Windspear Hills map.
