MA C'Tis, Let me get this straight.....

You need to be either colblooded or have swamp survival.

Shovah32 · #2 September 29th, 2007, 02:03 PM

Or be undead - you will get diseased but it won't have any effect.

Does poision resist help any?

If not, there are still rings of regeneration for those indie mages you MUST have. I haven't tried it, but I've heard that mostly counters the disease.

I'm about 90% sure that poison resistance does not help.

Being coldblooded, lifeless, a demon, or having swamp survival makes you immune to the Miasma. Being undead prevents you from losing hitpoints to a disease. In other words, you are practically immune as an undead as well.

The good thing about Miasma is just like when you play LA R'yleh, LA Ermor it is difficult to attack you. So troublesome that it puts lots of players off attacking you.

IIRC, undead don't get afflictions from diease either. If they do, the cahnce must be much lower. I can't ever remember diseased undead getting affliction outside of combat.

Wow. That's kind of messed up. There doesn't seem any point to giving MA C'Tis access to any pretenders that lack all of those protective characteristics.

I was trying an awake Manticore with no magic for early expansion, and 10 dominion to burn any invaders plus give my pretender awe. He had built in PR of 100, which obviously didn't help.

Thanks guys!

I thought that you had to lose HP to get afflictions from a disease, hence why I didn't mention that. It is possible that you do not need to lose HP though. In either case you are correct undead do not get afflictions through disease or it is so rare as to not be any concern.
