Default Re: Awe? Glamour? Displacement? Mirror Image?

Quote:
Awe says people will not attack you -- so they will attack other units, right?
Actually this is wrong. What happens is a unit decides to attack a unit with Awe, the Awe check is rolled, if Awe wins, then the unit turns yellow for a second and doesn't attack the unit (or anyone else since it already tried to attack).
Quote:
Glamour says they'll have trouble facing you -- does this just mean an increase in Defense?
Glamour gives a stealth rating as well as a modification of stealth that has slightly different effects when you are in your own provinces as opposed to other player provinces. The difference isn't huge but there are minor ones between stealth/glamour in your own provinces. Also Glamour during combat acts as Mirror Image.
Quote:
Displacement says you're shifted from your apparent position: again, just a Defense increase?
This is defense only.
Quote:
Mirror image -- they'll likely hit your image, not you, right?
Mirror image has a # of images and an attack has X/n of images of even striking the target certain spells/effects can bypass this. (8 images = 1/8 chance)
Quote:
Ethereal
Correct
Quote:
Mist Form
Misform lowers damage to 1 from whatever it's damage count. This can be broken with a magic weapon or high strength attack.
Quote:
Luck
Correct.

I don't know which sequence they are tested in. Except that Mistform does not apply until there is damage done, Luck is during the attack, so is ethereal. Mirror Image I believe is during the considered attack (I don't know if it rolls to hit with defense before or after the Mirror Image roll). Awe is during the attack roll.
