Please note that resistance does not equal immunity. Thus, this is unlikely to change. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

So, Strong Bad, did you use "Give Item/Knowledge Brew" or a HEX editor? [ Sunday, October 27, 2002 17:36: Message edited by: Uranium-235 ] -------------------- PhoenixNinjas! Ninja-Moderation! What we need is Urban Wisdom! Vote Wise Man! Posts: 1277 | Registered: Monday, June 24 2002 07:00 |

How are resistances calculated, when 1140% resistance still allows 3-30 damage? Doesn't that seem just a little wierd? -------------------- DONOR Fat Freddys Drop Shirow Miwa Posts: 1112 | Registered: Friday, July 19 2002 07:00 |

Yes. Please do not do that again. It's completely unnecessary. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

that is about right. For example, your max. chance for attacking in melee is 95%, usually. probably the same for resistances. My character had 180+% mind resistance, but he still got charmed. I didn't cheat like Strong Bad either. :P -------------------- Awesome BoA Graphics MSN: bleusoulilcercatore@hotmail.com AIM: Byzantine Jones Posts: 635 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

With 100% fire resistance, one of my characters occasionally took no damage from the fire golems' breath. Resistance probably lowers the range of damage that can be dealt. A very high resistance can't guarantee immunity, but you'll take far less damage. —Alorael, whose lead character interestingly continued to take large amounts of damage from the ice golems despite having 60-80% cold resistance.

The game would be too easy if 100% resistance = immunity. Once you reach a certain threshold, raising resistance won't make a difference. -------------------- "If you held a weapon to Fwiffo's head, he would say anything you wanted him to.

Mind crystals that give Energy Pulse are cursed. Just sell them. —Alorael, who supposes that they release a pulse of energy into your mind and knock a few things loose. That's what you get for using mind-altering magical substances! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Perhaps resistance works like a curve and gets lower as your score gets higher, or maybe there's a measure put in by the programmers to stop people from doing what you did! -------------------- Leave me alone. Posts: 123 | Registered: Sunday, August 25 2002 07:00 |

Alorael, are you comparing mind crystals to Skribbane herb? That actually gives me a good idea for a BoA scenario I've been considering (called Nightmare of the Sword Ghost Demon Banshee). I was thinking of making it a bad trip on a hallucinogenic skribbane derivative, but a suped up energy pulse crystal sounds even better! -------------------- Fnord.

Define 'Joke'. I'm seriously planning to make a scenario with that name, but the name is meant to be humorous, in the sense of poking fun at generic, cookie cutter, 'epic' scenario names. -------------------- Fnord.

Yep, that's about it. Though you could argue that that's the case with alot of the scenarios. Someone would probably manage to find a metaphor in there, if the scenario were popular enough. -------------------- Fnord. (Insert your name here) is a capitalist pigdog.

Like Shakespeare (and anything else that schools make pupils study).

Well, it depends on the play in question. Some of shakespeare's tragedies are very good, and fully worthy of the reputations they have. On the other hand, most of the comedies are weak. As the reduced shakespeare company says 'the tragedies are funnier'. And don't even get me started on the apocrypha. And now it's really time to steer this gratuitously off-topic conversation back to its original topic. My apologies. -------------------- Fnord. (Insert your name here) is a capitalist pigdog.

Not many, though. Parody is an insufficiently explored area. It's not necessarily the best format for a scenario of in the avernum/exile mythos, but it can still be very funny, and at least it's better than the 'cookie cutter epics'. This is not to say that epics are bad per se. I love the good, inspired one to death. Just that ones that lack individuality tend to be bad. -------------------- Fnord.
