That is what the preview function is for.

VERY useful when you have a lot of coding in your post. I use it quite often, since I use HTML and UBB code frequently.

I also make use of Notepad when I need to type out a long post. Makes it more coherent to go through.

Magic Resistance will not prevent INT-Drain. Immunity to the weapon enchantment used to inflict the INT-Drain will protect you though.

If the player wants to frantically switch weapons everytime he wants a Magic Resistance boost, do so by all means.

It is troublesome, especially when you consider the effects are wildly random, often catching you by surprise.

.

I said that there are items and spells that set MR to a fixed value or raise it. Carsomyr is one of them, and a bad example (I've forgotten that Tymora's Gamble is also a weapon). A player could circumvent nullifying effect of Tymora's Gamble by equipping one of these items or casting one of these spells.

The INT drain was just a comparison, read Annatar's post again.

This is where the weapon comes into play. Each time you swing the weapon, it resets your Magic Resistance to 0%( same as Carsomyr); making it next to impossible to have any Magic Resistance when an ill-effect occurs.

Of course, it would be impossible to equip both weapons anyway, making it a moot point.

Annatar · 04-29-2003, 05:39 AM

But still, there are many MR increasing items out there in BG II SoA - ToB... but Dundee has a great point there.

When will Gamble see the light of day Dundee?

Sounds good Dundee
I'd give it a few tries at least, before I become afraid of it and throw it at someone.
And watch them BURN!!!! AHAHHAHAHAHA!!
Or become stone.
Where can I get one?

Well, I was hoping somebody else would help me make this, as I am still not familiar with item-making.

Vedran · 05-01-2003, 12:33 PM

Help you? You mean you will not create it?

The brunt of the work always falls on Ann and me...

Annatar · 05-01-2003, 02:24 PM

We will be honored to create your weapon Dundee

Though we need time to create it, because I have like 3 or 4 projects running and they all need my attention [img]tongue.gif[/img] (though it will not take to long to create it because all the other weapons/items I create need some tinkering.. yours is easy compared to the others I've seen)

We (Me and Vedran) will keep you posted.
