A question on Atlantis

Graeme you neglected that both cast quickness and watershield which both increase defense .

So both have to fight against a 10-15 higher def with their attack Ratings but the ice devil has 5 def more than the waterqueen .

I just posted so vague numbers because i don't remember exactly how many points extradef you get from quickness and from watershield .

...

Quickness gives +3 def and Water Shield +5.

Ice Devil suffers -3 to Attack and Defence and it also suffers +3 penalty to Encumbrance when fighting underwater.

Equiped Water Queen beats equally equiped ID without any problems.

Does he really get -3 to Attack + Defence ?
And if that is so can you "cure" it with a waterbreathing item ?

Don't know if I understod you correctly but I ment skill 20 - underwater penalty 3 = 17. Forgive my not so good English.

Ring of Water Breathing doesn't cure it IIRC.

Your english is good tka

I was just surprised because i never read from underwater penalty like you mentioned
Is there something similiar for aquatic creatures like the water queen when she goes on land with amulet of the fish too ?

Thanks!

Nope, aquatics don't get any penalties with fish amulet. (Except that lost misc slot.)
