Actually, Unleash IS available to the player. And no, it's not the spell.[/QUOTE]Surely not without Ascension?

Oh... I misread your post, than. No. Unleash is not available to the player without Ascension, no.

I think so, at least... I also never played without it.

Alright then. It's ToB-only, it's unusable by players in the original game, it's a special ability rather than a spell, it pierces MR and it ignores the Cloak. Besides it being unavoidable, and the fact that I don't even know if it exists in the original game, it does almost fit the description

Siren's Dire Charm. This was my second choice after INT-Drain.

[Rataxes]

That one checks for MR I'm quite sure, you are talking about the sort the Alu-fiends in the WK flings at you, right?

[Dundee Slaytern]

Well, while I have never tested it, they seem to ignore Magic Resistances with ease. *Shrug* I am just basing this on observation.

And we have a WINNER!


I knew I should've allowed you more than one go. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Indeed, the Sirens - and, as Rataxes pointed, Succubi & Alu Fiends - have a special Charm Person ability, which ignores Magic Resistance, bypasses The Cloak, and allows no save.

However, I stated it IS avoidable... how, you ask? Two ways:

1. True Charm immunity. Helms of Charm Protection, Equalizers, Cavaliers & Inquisitors... you name it.
2. Femalism. Yes, being a Female will protect you from this special ability, hence the statement that it's actually the LACK of something that'll save you. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] This is probably the only powergaming issue concerning the gender of the PC... but it matters. Never play a male in a Solo-No-Reloads game!

Well, kudos to you, Dundee. Good job. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Score one for observation skills.

ADD] I just ran a list of ToB spells through my head and slowly eliminated them one by one. One reason why it popped to mind was because of a particular nasty incident in Watcher's Keep involving Sarevock... and the Ravager +6... ...

Well .. Just give me a broom and some other cleaning materials then ... and maybe once in a while you'll let me edit stuff ?
I wanna feel needed [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

EDIT: Never mind looking Alson . .I'm pretty sure there'll be a spell in shadowkeeper that does that .. 'll just add it to my special abilities or something [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't cry, daan. We love you, daan.

Besides... someone needs to come up with new questions. [img]smile.gif[/img]
