Default Re: False Horror

AFAIK (and as the devs told sometime ago):
Special weapon properties (magic, poison, etc.) do not work for repel - it does only and exactly 1 point of damage.

This is purely physical damage. If etherealness or luck helps - it's a good question, I have never seen it mentioned by the developers!

But keep one thing in mind: For a repel to hit the attacker, the defender must
a) beat him attack vs. defense
b) beat him damage vs. protection (obviously capped at "1")
So you'll have a hard time hitting the FHs due to def of 16.
