It smarts a bit too.

Although it is still the quickest way of getting rid of that pasty white skin if you've got a hot date coming up. And the fluff also find it far more manly and impressive than the fake orange tan crap you get from a bottle. Just as long as you don't singe your essential functioning parts that is.

Freezing inflicts more fatigue and also att/def penalties.
This is in addition to fatigue from just being in the aura.

As Nikelaos suggested, I suspect the main reason the chill was more effective is that Neifel Jarls have very strong chill auras. They have 18, while the standard Abysian heat aura is only 3. I'm not sure how auras stack.

yes maybe the strong chill auras of the niefel jarls are the reason. I tried the arch devil with heat 7....its not enough to bother the olm while chill 18 is a problem. also had a closer look and found that no need to turn blue to gain the fatigue from niefel jarls chill and its seems to be 18 fatigue each turn anyway of 50% CR. But with a ring chill/heat is no problem at all and att/def penalties maybe only take effect when freezing (turn blue) and is counterpart to being set on fire?

100% resistance will prevent you getting frozen/set on fire aswell as making you immune to the fatigue.

High fatigue causes penalties to attack and defence, aswell as making it easier to score a critical hit on the unit. Fatigue over 100 makes the unit fall unconcious and unable to act.

Makes sense. Having your hair burn would be tiring.

You don't seem the type to get hot dates. And manly isn't how I'd usually characterize you.

Can a frost ring negate coldblood?

Gregstrom August 15th, 2010 01:31 PM

Re: Ageless Olm coldblood?
 
No, it'll just negate frost aura (and IIRC the extra 2 points of enc anybody gets in a cold-3 province).

Sucks to be coldblooded!

Indeed, even great whites have gotten the picture. Swearing not to be cold blooded like other fishes they can internally regulate their body temperature but cannot keep it constant nor quite as hot as us mammals.

I wouldn't rub it in their face though, unless you want to lose your arm/legs/head/nipples...etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are man-eaters (to hell with the 'Jaws' myth), but just because we are not a favoured food source doesn't mean they'll take our abuse.
