Re: Death 9 damage calculations
I'm pretty sure that's what it means. At least, testing seems to concur. So, it's probably a (2+DRN versus DRN) attack if the MR fails. R'yleh mind blasts use this convention. There is a MR check for the paralyzation damage, and I think a further MR check to resist the damage. So, you can mind blast someone over and over again to keep him paralyzed and whittle away at this HP. Eventually, you'll get a good DRN result and kill him outright. I really like the EA R'yleh assassins. Out of the box, they are Personal luck/Astral shield capable as soon as you can research it. If you want horror mark suicide bombers, all you need is a starshine skullcap.
