Vorpal hitting dragons ?

daan · 10-14-2002, 09:03 AM

I was just standing in front of FII'Yissetat, the geased Dragon-guardian of Abazigal .. and casted Improved Haste.
she didnt like that, so immediatly attacked ( touchy gal'), anywayz, Sarevook immediatly GWWded and attacked....:

FII'Yissetat- Spell sequencer Fired
Stoneskin: FII ( i wanted to call he FiFi, but she objected)
Globe of Invulnerability: FII
Shielded: FII
Sarevok- Attack rol 9+12=21 : Hit
FII: Vorpal Hit
FII: death

I thought Dragons were immune to that sort of thing ?

Yeah I thought they were too! It only seems to be in ToB. In SoA I remember once beheading Firkraag using the Silver Sword, but normally when I get a vorpal hit on a boss in ToB, you get the vorpal animation but the boss remains alive. I'm not sure how Sarevok managed that. Oh well, mustn't grumble!

What weapon were you using?

If you have the Improved Abazigal patch, Tamah is immuned to Vorpal hits.

I was using the ravager, so no saves vs. decapatation

P.s. My game just crashed mid-fight with abazigal

Tamah and the four drakes were dead allready, only abazigal Badly Injured left

P.p.s. What the hell isnt Tamah immune to ?
I bombarded her with skull-traps, fingers of death, magic missiles, MAA and ADHW's,.. got nothing but Tamah's immune

I treated her to 3 or so RRoR.
Might be the Protection from Energy ( not magic energy), though that doesnt explain the skull-traps and total immunity.

Anywayz, the game allways srewes that fight up, i use too much spells so the game gets confused i guess [img]tongue.gif[/img]

daan · 10-14-2002, 10:08 AM

Ah, looking at her resistances and the bonusses she gets from Protection from energy,... i was actually healing her most of the time i guess

Dundee, Im curious.. things like Protection from Magic energy and Protection from energy cannot be taken down by things like RRoR and pierce shield and such. You need either Dispell magic or Remove magic for that, though i havent seen them in you SSSL, am i blind or missing a point ?
( note that I'm not considering the option of having a point

)

Feel free to correct me, which will unavoidably happen

My fault for being unclear, i answered Alson's question of which weapon i used.. I merely mentioned the no-save thing to outline why i used the weapon.
I know i cant decapitate Tamah [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dundee Slaytern · 10-14-2002, 12:46 PM

Jim's question you mean.

Alson · 10-14-2002, 01:04 PM

Indeed!

Good pick, by the way.
The Ravager is so broken it's not funny...

Actually, the game should just honorably give up when you assemble it, but so it goes...
