Question about R'lyeh Mind Blast

JayThomas · #1 February 17th, 2007, 06:01 PM

On the mind blast info screen, it says:

Additional damage (1 an+mr)

What does this mean?

an = armour negating

mr = magic resistance

But I have never played R'lyeh so I could be wrong.

hes right. You take a mr test for the paralyze and, afaik, if that gets through you take another mr test for 1an damage.

Sorry, still a little confused.

So this 1 an damage is in addition to the damage value of 10 listed at the top?

10 (or 12 depending on unit type) is paralysation damage (number of turns the unit will stay paralysed).
On top of that , if a unit fails another mr check, it suffers a small amount of physical an damage.

SO, basically mindblast is two separate attacks on the victim, both of which can be resisted with MR. One paralysation, and one a very weak armour-negating damaging attack.
