Bug, Oversight, or Intended Behavior?

I think a longer weapon will avoid poisoning from coral armor.

In general, yes, I think luck and twist fate would help, though perhaps not against attacking something with poison armor using a short weapon.

The results of poison, being on fire, etc. will continue to be resolved until the situation is corrected by the afflicted units (i.e. there's a chance each turn the poison will stop having effect). Naturally, the defeat of the enemy doesn't help against poison already in the veins.

Thanks for the fast response Zen and PvK. Ididn't know that about Coral Armor but it makes sense. The weapon the Star Child was using was a Frost Brand with Length=2. Maybe the length needs to be greater to avoid poison damage.

More than likely.

Though if I was a Star Child in assassin territory I'd get a 100% Poison Resist item. Since nearly everything has coral armor or weapons and poison is annoyingly effective 1 on 1.

If you haven't, put a starshine cap on your Star Child (if you've invested alot of gems in his equipment already) and have him teleport back to labs to pick up specific items he needs for his assassin routines. (Anti-heat for Abysia, anti-poison for Atlantis, etc)

Teleport is astral 3, and star children only have astral 1, IIRC.

Graeme is right, again! For some reason I keep thinking it's Astral 2, must be because I use Cloud Trapeze too much.

However, a starshine skullcap will allow him to cast paralyze and stellar cascades, which are both decent spells for an assasination.

Shhhhh! That was supposed to be a secret. Damn Canadians.
