Storm Queen with -2 strength?
 

Hey, didn't see this in the bug thread. In a MP game i'm playing my fully-equipped Air Queen (the Storm one) has -2 strength at the moment (out of battle). When I click on her it says "magic bonus +/-18," which is what I presume is what is causing the low strength.

She has a stinger, marble armor, burning pearl, starshing skullcap and a couple other items i can't remember off the top of my head.

Also, I believe she's in heat 3 territory.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Good question, but no, not that either.

Re: Storm Queen with -2 strength?
 

"+-18" does not mean "+/- 18", it means "+ -18". Dominions automatically puts the + in some fields, so when you get a negative modifier, sometimes you see both a + and a -.

Presumably she's suffering some kind of odd effect draining her strength, but I couldn't list many options off the top of my head.

Some critters like shades drain strength. Maybe they do so permanantly?

Ardmon's Soul Trap? Drains -2 strength IIRC.

Total shot in the dark: is she in drain dominion? I dont *think* that drain should have any effect but when I read "magic" listed as a reason the lower strength its the only thing I can think of.

Did she get hit (repeatedly) by an Evening Star, mace that drains strength?

Re: Storm Queen with -2 strength?
 

Hmmm. That last might be a possibility, DonCorazon, if Abysia forged one. I took over the game from someone else, and they've been fighting against Abysia, so I suppose it could be a possibility. Does the Evening Star cause permanent drop in strength?

I think so. And it ignores shield defense so it can be a bit wicked.
