Bug, Oversight, or Intended Behavior?

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.

Atral 2 won't allow you to cast Teleport but you need a Lab to cast it anyway and if you have a Lab that defeats the whole purpose of the suggestion in the first place (to re-equip). However, Astral 2 _will_ allow you to cast Returning. Attack anything with Returning scripted to return to Capital, re-equip and head out again. Maybe.

According to Kristoffer... poisoned armor spikes are length 1. But experience gives a different story...
