and now one such arrow has killed my pretender god.

Enchantment 3, Seeking Arrow. Ritual Air 3. Cost 4 Air gems. The Sniper Rifle of the Gods. Get missile protection ASAP.

IC, thx.
what about robes of shadow? do they suffice?
and what about robes of invulnerability -- are those better than robes of missile protection when it comes to fending off missiles?

That depends on whether the arrows are considered to be magical weapons or not. If they are only normal weapons, then those robes will have a 75% chance of protecting you. If they are magical, then the robes will do nothing.

The robes of invuilnerabilty have the same effect as the invulnerability spell. They set your base protection to 30. This means that it will only be an extremely lucky arrow that manages to get through that much armor.

But you'll still get a chest wound for your trouble. At least it's only one arrow per round. I've felt the love of having my pretender struck by 17 arrows in one round. Don't piss off Caelum.

You might also want to throw up a dome or two. Domes of Solid Air stop incoming spells 80% (but break when a spell gets through), while a Dome of Flaming Death will show the enemy caster what you think of him (hence, the 'flaming' part).

I am a bit confused by these two. Is there a difference between Basic Protection and Armor Protection? Does a weapon with Armor Negation pass through the Robes of Invulnerability, but not the Invulnerability spell?

The difference between natural protection and armor based protection only matters when adding the two together. As both get larger, they do not just add straight together, but are reduced slightly before they get added. You get more total protection that with either by itself, but not a straight addition. This makes it extremely hard to get your protection over 30.

Armor negating damage goes through any kind of protection.
