In lower marten's bluff, at the door guarded by two t'rang sentries (the one with the number combination) if you try to open the door with the wrong combination, a paralyze spell is cast at the party. Anyone with the iron will skill will raise points as fast as you can click [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you're friendly with the t'rang, and are wondering how to deal with those two sentries without screwing up your faction rating, hug the wall opposite to them and enter combat mode, then cast asphyxiation. If they both die instantly, nothing negative happens; make sure they're neutral first though (they usually are).

Well it looks more like a bug than anything, regarding asphyxation. As long as you cast only asphyxation, and have anyone not casting it on defend, you can slaughter as many green dots on the map as you want without screwing up faction ratings!

Have fun

Great post. I love the little bugs like that in games, fine line between cheating and exploting bugs.

If its a bug at all, SirTech must have forseen the pickpocket load and save, hense the different diff settings.
