I'll wait for some more feedback before I make my decision, but right now it looks like I'll be going with the Hammer of Thunderbolts +3 through the main part of SoA (will probably be a huge challenge to get it at a low level with the Tactics mod on Insane) I'll get Crom Faeyr in Chapter 6, and then switch to Foebane +5 early on in ToB, which will be my final weapon. I did not know Crom Faeyr dealt electric damage, how much are we talking about here? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Actually, i would suggest using Sanchuu or Celestial Fury until you get Foebane. The Hammer of Thunderbolts is not that hot, and
waaaay harder to obtain if you have the Tactics Mod.
Crom deals 5 Electrical damage.

About FoA, with cumulative slowing effect, do you mean 33%*X slowed or 100%*(1-0.67^X) slowed? (X=number of hits)
|
Neither.
Every hit has a 33% chance of slowing the opponent - that's already written.
What i meant was that the Slow
effects are cumulative.
For example - you are hitting monster X with the FoA, and it get slowed. The slow effect cuts the monster's attack by half, and gives a +4 penalty to AC and THAC0. Now, you hit the monster
again, and it get slowed,
again.
This is were 'cumulative' comes in.
The monster will suffer the same penalties -
on top of the penalties from the 'first' slow!

Either way, it seems ridiculously powerful, not to mention very cheesy. Does the victim basically just freeze if you slow him enough? [img]smile.gif[/img]
|
Actually,
yes!
Each slow effect restarts the victim's
personal initiative round, or, in other words, messes up melee attack resolution. Every time you get a slow effect, the victim is paralyzed for the next six seconds. With an attacks-per-round rate of 3 or more, you have a chance of getting the Slow effect each round.
So yes, he'll 'freeze', in a way. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd also appreciate answers to the questions about Larloch's Minor drain if you know them, please [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'll try to find some more info about this.

Finally, does the Sanchuudoku really exist in-game? It does have wicked powers but I have never seen it mentioned in any item lists or walkthroughs, just noticed it while scrolling through the items in SK.

Nope.
Sanchuu is a part of one of the Tactics Mod's components. [img]smile.gif[/img]
