Paralyze/Sleep Damage

Yossar · #1 March 5th, 2004, 01:51 AM

Both of these spells list damage outputs (about 60 for paralyze and about 120 for sleep) but neither one actually does damage as far as I can tell. Does Sleep do damage directly to fatigue? What does the Paralyze damage do? Are creatures with over 60 hit points immune to paralyze or they just take more bLasts to stun?

Stun damage = Fatigue Damage

Ok, but what is paralyze damage? It can paralyze for a whole battle with one hit. 60+ fatigue damage wouldn't be able to do that.

I thought paralyze damage was the number of turns the victim remains paralyzed. Would be nice if it were divided by size and/or a factor of strength, but I don't know that it is.

ha. Not even close. I don't think anyone knows if it's possible to actually become unparalyzed. When playing Void Gate, I never say any unit unparalyze after a Dispossessed Spirit had managed to paralyze them. And DSs have very, very tiny paralyze valued compared to anything else. Low single-digits I think.

Paralyze is at current, mostly limitless. If you are paralyzed, you are not going to wake up for the battle. I believe the # was intended to represent the # of turns paralyzed but at current doesn't work in that fashion.

There is/was a reevaluation of paralyze length by IW though I don't know the result of that evalutation.
