Stinking cloud, worth the effort?

[Temp]

I personally find one major quirk in Stinking Cloud, namely that it hampers the whole party. Sure, enemies are standing around being sick, but party can't do much to them either, since they'd be affected as well. That said, I don't use cloud spells, so I might have overlooked something.

Well, the goal usually isn't to cast it on your party, but to put it in the middle of the baddies and to either whack them as soom as they stagger out or to blast the area while they're still inside.

[edit:]Cloudkill's the only Cloud Spell that has to originate in your area. Maybe that was the problem you saw with SC?
