Then it would kind of suck for the Gorgon to be attacked by warriors from the Ether Gate.

Then again, Gorgon or The Aegis Petrify isn't the same as the spell, we know, because it doesn't paralyze anyone... it might be missing a tag that the spell has, who knows.

Or it might be impossible to petrify ethereals. THey are kind of squishy and intangible.

Sounds right... that's the direction I'm leaning.

Haha, you have to love a game where the devs are as interested in certain occurances in game as the players.

As someone who has to maintain year old, non-documented legacy code, I can tell you that THAT isn't as uncommon as one might hope.

Developers guessing the exact meaning of a few lines of code or finding that an obvious bugfix has sideeffect in completely unrelated code literally miles away. However, Illwinter still have the code and they're the ones that wrote it. But just today I looked through and cleaned up code I wrote last year - on more than one occasion I thought 'WTH was I thinking?'. And that was neat C# code with lots of commentaries...

Everything misses.

Even spells that are 100 percent precision. Yes it is rare, but i have cast soul slay and killed my own troops with it before.

Petrify = 7AN paralyze damage. -6 for the size of the enemy (he is size 6, right?) so there's quite a good chance his roll just beat your roll +1. (and the net is also divided by 2, so if it rounds down it would just be a straight roll-off)

good information... I didn't know the size would reduce the paralyze effect.
