A Remorhaz described as cute? How quaint.
I think I've had involuntary panic attacks around them ever since a good half dozen took out my entire party, (including Vala) with chompy critical hits once in the AD&D goldbox game, Secret of the Silver Blades on my C64 years ago.

Seeing them again in the flesh for the first time in HoW brought chills to my spine.
I pepper them pointy kindness and flamey goodness now and stay away whenever possible! [img]smile.gif[/img]

btw...preliminary research shows that if we discount the War Chant of Sith, then the highest possible resistances from items alone seem to be 100% vs slashing, 85% vs crushing, and 60% vs piercing.
There is a certain Amulet that you can obtain were you can do TotLM with before losing it to boost these even more I think by 15% to 20%. I can no longer remember the exact stats or exact resistances for the amulet.

Question Mark

That's what I meant by "preliminary", because I was doing that research at work [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] and didn't have my Near Infinity or Infinity Explorer to view the TotLM items. I know Tiernon's Shield give 10% resistances, with a special ability to add another 10% once (or thrice) daily, which could really help.

@CerebroDragon. Yes! I always hated the purple worms, though--very tough and there was no coming back from being swallowed. Once--only once--I had managed to charm a purple worm; it attacked its neighbor, scored a critical hit, and swallowed another purple worm whole!
