What can harm me ?

Leslie · 12-11-2003, 03:18 AM

There is a special helm that comes with Item Upgrade which is called Tower of Iron Will and it is supposed to protect from charm and psionics.
I don't know how to check this but I believe that it has the same protection as Chaotic Commands. (and not sure that it protects against maze - but that is also a psionic thing - with Improved Mind Flayers)

So - if my character wears Cloak of Mirroring (which takes care of all damaging magic including AoE spells), Tower of Iron Will (all mind disabling or confusing or charming spells) and Ring of Free Action (all disabling spells - Slow, Stun, Hold, ...) - what am I vulnerable to ?

swords, sticks, rocks, arrows...

seriously though, as far as magic is concerned, wouldn't you still be vulnerable to horror or power word:fear? And I don't remember if the cloak of cheeze reflects things like ADHW or finger of death, or power word:death. And if the enemy casts AoE spells at your party instead of just at you, then you'll still easily take damage.

if you have ToB; equip "Hindo's doom", upgraded, and be immune to death magic [img]tongue.gif[/img]

edit, forgot to mention "Hindo's doom" is a katana.

Yep, fear is one the spells that can still "hurt" me.

Cloak of cheese protects against ADHW even if the spell is casted at my party.

Yes, death magic is also going through my defenses.

And upgraded Hindo's Doom is much to late for me.

frankly what is the point of all those protections? you should disperse them around all your fighters so that they dont die, try the amulet of power aswell... dont be afraid of the fear thing (that wasnt intended) just equipt yourself with an anti-fear device im sure there is one out there

imprisionment will still kill you.

and i believe some stat drains (int most likely) will still kill you as the helm does not protect from that.

Any stat that is drained to 0 will kill you.

Soloing a non magic character who has a realistic chance of finishing a no reloads game.

Keep away from Death magic and anything that makes you run around in circles ^_^
