Ok, death magic and afflictions, what's the deal?
In theory a 4D necromancer should not get age afflictions. Yet I'd swear that my 4D Thaumaturg just got a weakness affliction.
Could anyone post the DM anti affliction mechanics again? I cant find them :( |
Re: Ok, death magic and afflictions, what's the deal?
Death magic protects from getting a disease as an old age affliction.

Re: Ok, death magic and afflictions, what's the deal?
to what extent? It still occurs, I wonder if it is a significant risk reduction?

Re: Ok, death magic and afflictions, what's the deal?
My understanding is that each level of Death magic increases the chance of avoiding old age afflictions by 30% (confirmed by JK or KO), so a D4 mage has a 120% chance to avoid getting old age afflictions. And we all know that the death/growth scales decrease/increase respectively that chance as well, but I'm afraid I can't remember off the top of my head what the percentage values are for the scales (manual isn't handy, but maybe it's in there?)
At a guess, maybe D4 mages can still get old age afflictions if under a Death3 scale? Edit @ Poopsi. For forum search purposes, it might be a good idea to change this thread title to "...death magic and old age afflictions", as that way people can differentiate between this topic and afflictions from a 9/10 Death bless. |
Re: Ok, death magic and afflictions, what's the deal?
It was a G1 scale.
There was a D3 domain nearby, but at the turn I saw it, the province in which my character was was at Growth1. So at most it could have been at 0 scales for either side. It IS possible that I might have stepped into a high death province without noticing, or suffered a battle affliction before that (couldnt be on that turn or the previous one, though. Provinces fell without opposition). I know it can't be one of the "spreads disease" sites because I think they are all death, and I was making my D4 wizard search every province (so he'd have noticed) |

think there are blood disease sites?
|
Re: Ok, death magic and afflictions, what's the deal?
IIRC, Death magic gives a 30% chance per level of avoiding the disease affliction only.

I think the thematic reason for this is grizzled old necromancers don't ever seem to die, but they do lose body parts, develop a menacing wheeze, and start looking like they're already undead...
