Gem usage and performing ritual spells

[Alneyan]

Missile protection actually makes you immune to Seeking Arrows; at least, my mage was not hit once after a dozen or so castings.

Luck helps as well, but will not always be enough to negate the arrow; it seems to make the "for some reason, XXX managed to escape his deadly fate" occurrence much more likely. Etherealness does not seem to help however, and does not seem to make the "lucky throw" more likely.

i'm pretty sure armor works also.

so: luck, air shield, and armor all protect against seeking arrows.

Yep, I recall that it was once written ago in some thread that a seeking arrow is treated like a standard shortbow arrow, which additionally does a chest wound if at least one point of damage gets through. Amulets of missile protection do help! And I do know what I am talking about, having played caelum quite often, where those stupid-stubborn high-seraphs insist on having their labs on the highest spires! Do they ever show respect to their non-flying fear-of-heights-afflicted pretender-god they pretend to worship? I say no! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]
