I know what the single creatures are, I know what the single creatures are, nyah, nyah nyah nyah nyah...... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Certain edged weapons can still kill Clay Golems: Stonefire, Frostreaver, the Corthala Family Blade, etc. As long as it adds elemental damage that does not check the victim's MR, you can poke Clay Golems to death with it. There's also the annoying fact that the game engine won't let you whack Clay Golems with the flat of your blade. Yeah, like the flat side of Carsomyr wouldn't be enough to put a Clay Golem down.

About Carsomyr+5 granting +50% MR instead of =50% MR, I think it was one of the Weimer MODs that did this, but since I installed them all at the same time, I can't tell which. Ease of Use? Item Upgrade? Tactics? None of them mention it in the README. In my first Tactics game, I only (ab)used the stacking MR (wearing other MR items) when fighting the Smarter Beholders, so I don't feel bad about it.

Note: In the upcoming Item Balancing MOD, I am planning the Carsomyr+6 to have stackable MR: Instead of =50%, its MR becomes +60%. The sword's Dispel Magic can now also be cast at open ground instead of requiring a target (making it easier to Dispel an enemy's Invisibility, etc). I'm doing this to make people think about what to do with the Eye of Tyr once again. Any feedback on this?
