Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

On the mind blast info screen, it says:

Additional damage (1 an+mr)

What does this mean?

Re: Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

an = armour negating

mr = magic resistance

But I have never played R'lyeh so I could be wrong.

Re: Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

hes right. You take a mr test for the paralyze and, afaik, if that gets through you take another mr test for 1an damage.

Re: Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

Sorry, still a little confused.

So this 1 an damage is in addition to the damage value of 10 listed at the top?

Re: Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

10 (or 12 depending on unit type) is paralysation damage (number of turns the unit will stay paralysed).
On top of that , if a unit fails another mr check, it suffers a small amount of physical an damage.

SO, basically mindblast is two separate attacks on the victim, both of which can be resisted with MR. One paralysation, and one a very weak armour-negating damaging attack.

Re: Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

I believe damaging attack is additional, i.e. it occurs (second mr roll is made) only if the victim fails mr roll against the main paralysation attack

Got it. Thanks all.

Re: Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

And what is the difficulty level of the R'lyey mind blasts. I thought at first the formula was you are parylzed for (10 + DRN) - (MR of target + DRN) turns. But that isn't right. Units with high MR don't get parylzed for shorter periods of time then units with low MR resitance. They just get parylzed less often.

But to make a succefully MR roll aginst mindblast, MR + DRN has to be greater then what number? Does anyone know?

Re: Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

I think it's 10 or 11 +DRN or something like that

Re: Question about R\'lyeh Mind Blast
 

Yes. The first hit from the mindblast is paralyzation damage. The mind blast weapon just has the additional effect, which means that the target is hit by a separate weapon, in this case additional resistable an damage. If you look at the Weapons DB, you will see separate entries for them and the linkage.
