Does air shield protect against seeking arrow?
You know that air shield magic item cloak thing? Does that protect against seeking arrow? If not, what's the best way to protect from that dam annoying spell?

Re: Does air shield protect against seeking arrow?
How about twist fate? How is that resolved against rituals?

The question has been previously asked on the forum, but I don't believe it's been tested.

Re: Does air shield protect against seeking arrow?
I do not think luck protects against seeking arrow. For certain it does nothing against mind hunt.

Re: Does air shield protect against seeking arrow?
That's right. There was a thread on Seeking Arrow a while back, and I think the result was that if your commander was targeted by a seeking arrow, only the following item (including shroud bless) effects would have a chance at helping him survive:
- Air Shield
- Luck
- Twist Fate
I'm not sure if the following help:
- Ritual of Returning (so he only gets hit by one arrow out of a Seeking Arrow barrage)
- Elixer of Life/Crystal Heart
- Twiceborn
- Immortality
The global Perpetual Storm also blows seeking arrows off course I think.

Re: Does air shield protect against seeking arrow?
As supporting evidence, one of the strings in the executable seems to be a message for the blown-off-course outcome. (There's also a typo in said string.)
Code:
#strings dom3_amd64 | grep course
Mighty storms blew the arrow of course and it was not able to find any target.
Suddenly an arrow appeared out of the sky and headed straight for %s's heart. But %s's magical missile protection knocked the arrow from its course and %s got away without a scratch.

Didn't check, but AFAIK Ethereality helps, too. |
