PI won't throw MMM's

Lord Ludtke · 01-09-2002, 05:49 PM

Just got ToB, don't know if that has anything to do with it but one of my favourite tactics was Cast PI, he casts Time stop, animates dead 3 times, time stop again,and then start chucking Melf's around like there was no tomorrow.

The problem is he won't throw them anymore. EVER.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Hello Ludtke!

As far as I can gather from the spell's description, the one failing of PI (vs. Simulacrum) is that your Image cannot attack physically in any way. Probably MMMs were once allowed due to a bug, and now you have a patch installed which fixes it.

Yeah, you are right the description says no physical type attack, but for some reason let me do it all the time in SoA.

Thanks for the reply.

Out of error. Melf's Meteor is a physical attack with magical energy, a little like the spell that summons a fiery sword. It was intended to be viewed as a physical attack--and only got repaired in ToB, and (I think) the last SoA patch.
