I don't know for sure but wouldn't it be pretty dumb for my anti-paladin to use this sword. On each hit the target receives a cumulative 2 point penalty to their THACO. Would the anti-p hits dispell this, or for that matter all other weapons' effects? i.e. Sanchu's acid res. lowering, Gnashers extra damage, CF stunning etc.

Doesn't Soul Reaver just remove magic?

I don't think it removes weapon effects.

SpongeBobTheDestoyer 03-04-2003 05:02 AM

No, that's the Unholy Reaver. The Soul Reaver does the -2 to THACO only. The Anti-pal's special ability dispels magic on a successful hit. So I'm wondering if the dispel magic dispels everything, even the effects of weapons I'm using.

AFAIK, the 2 point THAC0 penalty is non dispellable (its 100% duration based). Your Anti-Paladin will not counter act the weapons abilities.

I don't know about Soul Reaver, but item effects tend to be undispellable. I know for sure that Fury's Stun and Ages' Slow are undispellable.

Excellent! Now I don't have to ask my follow up question of "duh, which weapons should I use then?" Because I will be Reaving Souls. ;)

Alson 03-04-2003 08:49 AM

Good choice. Soul Reaver is mighty.

Do you have the Item Upgrade Mod? ;)

SpongeBobTheDestoyer 03-05-2003 12:00 AM

No I don't, please tell me what I'm missing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Behind curtain number 2, we have....

Soul Reaver +6!!!

All you need is the Item Upgrade Mod, Soul Reaver +4, Heart of the Damned, Carsomyr and merely 20,000 Gold, and in exchange you'll have your brand new...

So is anyone immune to THACO drain? I can imagine the Soul Reaver rendering just about any boss harmless in mere seconds. Whack Ascension Melissan or Abizigal a few times with that thing and they should be unable to score a single hit on you.
