Chalice and Amon Hotep

[Joonie73]

2 questions:

1. Does the Chalice heal wounds during battle?

2. Does Amon Hotep make you invulnerable literally? It says it protects you from both physical and magical harm...

[Teraswaerto]

The Chalice heals afflictions outside of combat, and Amon-Hotep gives protection 30 and some magic resistance (IIRC), or that's the way it was in Dom I.

Just a slight clarification: Amon Hotep gives base protection of 30, not +30.

It also gives 50 fire resistance, and ability to create mummies (undead commanders that spread disease on the battlefield). It is also unremovable.

I put Amon Hotep, Aseftik's armor, Barrier shield on the Earth Mother and she still has only 34 protection. How come? The protection items don't stack together?

High protection suffers from diminishing returns at high values.

See for yourself: Strip her down... wait a sec... you can't do that! They're cursed! Oh well, guess you have to be stuck with *only* 34-prot trampling, regenerating, fire resistant, lightning resistant, magic resistant Fat Lady. Add Boots of Planes (to see places), Stone Sword (to petrify many interesting species, risky) and cold resistance and reinvigorating miscs... "The Battle's over when the Fat Lady sings!" sounds about right, right?

That armour & shield combo is too heavy for the pretender you are putting them on:
After trampling a few rounds you will go unconscious, become a sitting duck & even soulless will waste you.

The plate is unnecesary if you got the crown, even harmful.

The crown is already giving you 30 prot, drop the shield & equip a charcoal instead, equip reinvig stuff (boots, rainbow plate...) & you will do much better. If you want the lightning prot get a ring instead.
