Save the Trees! [Fire Susceptibility]

[Truper]

I wonder if its worth testing whether the bug is in the fire resistane, or in the displayed FR%?

IOW, can you, say, incinerate a unit with a hell sword and a dragon helmet?

lol

funniest thread of the day

so i guess, as things stand, the only rule is that there is no rule

anyone want to check cold, poison, and lightning resistant items/spells?

(btw endoperez, the "resistance bug" shouldn't affect the suggested method of putting the one commander in a group of units - the spell should still work on the whole group. maybe )

Boy, Norfleet is the Master of the Game. I wonder how he comes up with this stuff! Trogdor!

Back to the subject, it reminds me of bumper sticker that I saw:

Kill The Beaver, Save The Trees!

(sorry, could not resist )

Here is my understanding of the Fire Resistance Bug:

Burning Pearl is worth 100% FR.
Ring of Fire is worth 100% FR.
Red Dragon Scale Mail is worth 75% FR.
Elemental Armor is worth 50% FR (as well as 50% CR and 50% SR).
Three of these items work correctly. All will add FR to each other. Burning Pearl has an additional bug, see below.

The following items will offer 50% FR individually, but will add no additional FR if added to any other one of these items ["Norfleet's rule" = two or more 50%'s will add nothing -- with the strange exception of Elemental Armor, above]:
Fire Brand
Flambeau
Dragon Helmet
Charcoal Shield
Fire Plate
Staff of Elemental Mastery
Sword of Justice
Ember
Rober of Callius
Amon Hotep

If any of these items are paired with Burning Pearl, they will add nothing -- another strange quirk.

God help me.

This is so confusing.

I thought Elemental Armor was supposed to offer 100% immunity for Fire, Cold, and Shock.

But my testing shows 50%...

Thoughts?

Elemental Armor was reduced to 50% like the Spell Elemental Fortitude for the sake of balance, not allowing a single piece of armor to protect you from every element.

Elemental Resistances on Armor types do not stack if they are the same type if it's from an Item, however, if the Item's resistances are not coded to a spell the spell will stack with the Item.

The Burning Pearl is wonky. If you have some inconsistancies with it, it's because it's bugged.
