Page 103 states that the attacker has to pass a MR check to hurt you. Failure to pass means that you take no damage, and that the attacker becomes paralyzed (via mind bLast), if I read the spell correctly. The MR check is made tougher if the caster's astral level exceeds the casting minimum.

My observation of replays shows that most attackers become snacksicles.

Your memory is faulty. Try checking again. Skratti are in the other two themes.

The only chance is that a Norna gets a Blood with her 1 random. And the Norna is most likely to increase one of the 3 paths she already has, though I have seen Nornas with a Blood.

Say, when does the poor, neglected Bdvar finally get the love and attention he deserves, anyway? Or does he remain forgotten all the way up to the current turn, T18?

Are you going to continue doing a report for every single turn? This is going to be an awfully long report if you do. An Orania game will Last for at least maybe 100 turns or so...and at the present rate of post accumulation, we've picked up about 90+ Posts over the course of about 10 turns. At about 9 Posts per turn, this is going to balloon into a monstrous, 900-post megathread before you finish that game.

I'll continue in this fashion until the consensus is that folks want something different.

Is there a thread capacity limit? Do we care? Seeing as many of the Posts have your name in them somewhere ...

Hey, anything worth doing is worth doing with excessive force, that's what I always say. Let's see if we can't beat out the game bug thread, at 395 Posts!

No sweat.

Now hush for a while and let me finish typing up turn 12. I had it almost done (doing it all in the forum editor) and my machine crashed. This time I'm typing it in a text editor, with frequent saves, and will just cut & paste it in. I loathe losing over an hour's hard work.

WellI just created a game with Utgard theme and Skratti ARE IN IT

Guess who's memory is what ?

Or is it a problem of game Version ? or mods ?

Urk, my very, very bad. I was looking for a human-sized caster and the Skratti are giant-sized, so I'd overlooked them. I profusely apologize.
