Poisoned Weapons and Etherealness ???

[Wuppin]

Another question about poisoning ...
Does Manikin/Mandragora attacks are poisonous?
I managed to lose 2 Arch Devils sending them in battle against a CW Pangea army. They were both equipped with Snake Ring, but soon they got 100-200 fatigue and got slaughtered.
I believed that the Snake Ring would keep them safe from that ...

The reason for this is that their attacks are not at all poisonous. PR will not help you [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]. This is becasuse Manikins and mandragoras have sleep vine attacks that cause LOTS of fatigue damage (33 fatigue damage per successful hit and 3 or 6 attacks depending on the unit). High armor can reduce this somewhat and MR can negate it, but in the case of mandragoras having 6(!) attacks per unit some of these are bound to penetrate. Then, once you are passed out, they are a shoe in to hit with their "claw" attack and kill that poor evil devil. Hope this helps.
