All chapter quiz part 2 (spoilers!)

Oh, how I would like to fulfil your wish, Marty... but it just wouldn't be fair [img]tongue.gif[/img] You got it right.
You have my condolences...

[Marty4]

Okey Dokey...

Um...

What is the highest possible magic resistance? Tell how this is obtained. Anything goes.

For a bonus point, can someone tell me how to defeat Lysara in the Ice Temple without having to deal 1000+ damage? It's a nice challenge, but it gets tedius when I have her held and still need to pound on her with all tanks for over a minute.

Highest Magic or Spell Resistance?
Magic Reistance has a potion for permanent 2/-, a staff for 3/-, a ring for 5/- and helm for another 3/- I believe. A few items and abilities which add to all resistances, but it would be too much trouble for me to count those. Having in mind that you can carry two rings, and find two potions, you could have about 20 MR just with that. No race has any starting MR, and due to a bug, the Barbarian damage resistance is also applied to it(it should only apply to physical, but somehow it applies to magic too).
Spell Resistance? Drow/Swirfneblin gain 11 +1/level, having 29 levels of monk adds 29 plus another 2(it adds 13 +1/level, but if it is applied to a race with SR, whatever has the higher initial bonus is counted), and adding a level of Paladin, you get another 30 from the sword. Now, add in a potion and a shield, and you get some 105. I've no idea why you'd want that, cause after you hit 50 you're immune to I&M's spells, but

How to defeat Lysara? Harm maybe? Most Bosses seem to have immunities to Instagib, but not Harm.

[Sleeper]

Theres two potions for permanent spell resistance.
Both found at the ice glacier. One for 1/- and the other for 2/- . (on the description it reads
permanent magic resistance but adds to spell resistance.)

[Marty4]

I should have clarified, I'm looking for SPELL resistance. It's the same as magic resistance in BG2, which I am currently playing, so I got confuzzled

BoB, I believe you are correct. I don't recall the shield you are using, could you tell me? Still, you get the question.

On Lysara, what I meant was can someone tell me how to trigger the suicidal dialogue thing with her (I recall her doing that my first game thru). Since my first game, this has never happened, and 1000 hp is, to my knowledge, impossible.

[Bozos of Bones]

I said shield? I meant slippers.. Sorry, I had a brain fart. Chimandrae's slippers add the +2 SR.
And I guess the curse is back to me now... Oh, the pain!
What item could be involved to make a sane character take 3d6 damage voluntarily?
And I've never managed to shorten the duration.. Atleast not in the last ten games I remember.

[Marty4]

I think this is like being addicted to a lethal drug. I can't help but answer!

I'm not sure of this, but I think the "Harmless staff" (not full name) can deal 3d6 damage back at it's wielder.

I wont take the question away from you, but if spell resistance isn't taken from a shield in the above example, then the character can dual wield BOTH holy avengers for a grand total of +45 spell resistance.

[Bozos of Bones]

So now you got 120 spell resistance.. Come across any Prismatic Dragons lately?
The question I asked implied it was a sure damage, not a possibility. Nice try, but try again.

[Dragonshadow]

The sword taht, if you hit yourself with it, hals you? THough I don't know if you would be sane using it...

[Bozos of Bones]

I think you are referring to the Healing Blade, but no, that one does not deal 3d6 damage.

EDIT:
Oh, god I had a brain fart. Somehow, I mistakenly thought 3d6, but it's 8d6. My bad.
So now, the question is, bla bla bla bla 8d6 damage?
