Question about R'lyeh Mind Blast

Meglobob · #1 February 17th, 2007, 06:07 PM

an = armour negating

mr = magic resistance

But I have never played R'lyeh so I could be wrong.

hes right. You take a mr test for the paralyze and, afaik, if that gets through you take another mr test for 1an damage.

Sorry, still a little confused.

So this 1 an damage is in addition to the damage value of 10 listed at the top?

10 (or 12 depending on unit type) is paralysation damage (number of turns the unit will stay paralysed).
On top of that , if a unit fails another mr check, it suffers a small amount of physical an damage.

SO, basically mindblast is two separate attacks on the victim, both of which can be resisted with MR. One paralysation, and one a very weak armour-negating damaging attack.

I believe damaging attack is additional, i.e. it occurs (second mr roll is made) only if the victim fails mr roll against the main paralysation attack

Got it. Thanks all.

Yes. The first hit from the mindblast is paralyzation damage. The mind blast weapon just has the additional effect, which means that the target is hit by a separate weapon, in this case additional resistable an damage. If you look at the Weapons DB, you will see separate entries for them and the linkage.
