Some creatures, like it or not, are immune to Vorpal Hits. The majority of these, of course, are important bosses and other creatures that are supposed to be difficult to beat, as it'd be rather anticlimactic to win the battle with the first hit. I don't see why a simple Shambling Mound would be immune, however.....unless somebody had cast Death Ward on it.

Hear that screaming in the background? It's SixOfSpades. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Hey, I only abuse the "Skeleton Warrior Machine" if I've gone through lots of other good sources for high-level spells (like the Cowled Wizards) and I think I've been swindled.

Smile, SixOfSpades.[/QUOTE]Actually, this never happened to me, but I'm glad anyway! Although personally I'd rather see Haer'Dalis straightened out.

Saemon Havarian could be killed by the player in the ship battle, and the transition text/narration afterwards inevitably said he was alive and leaving the scene (as well, he reappears in ToB)
Anime sweatdrop on head.[/QUOTE]This.....does not say what Dorner fixed. Is Saemon now unkillable in SoA? Or is there now a SAEMONKILLED flag that affects the narration and his presence in ToB?

A few mages if "chunked" on the final hit while casting Mislead would turn into a spinning chunk that cast spells
This was a hilarious bug to have. [/QB][/QUOTE][/quote]
Actually, I've got one up on that: One of the Cowled Wizards finished casting her Simulacrum scroll just as she was chunked--cue the spinning chunk. The chunk then immediately cast Mirror Image--cue FIVE spinning chunks! Woo Hoooo!!!
