Question about R'lyeh Mind Blast

JayThomas · #1 February 17th, 2007, 06:01 PM

On the mind blast info screen, it says:

Additional damage (1 an+mr)

What does this mean?

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.

Blofeld · #7 February 17th, 2007, 10:03 PM

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.

And what is the difficulty level of the R'lyey mind blasts. I thought at first the formula was you are parylzed for (10 + DRN) - (MR of target + DRN) turns. But that isn't right. Units with high MR don't get parylzed for shorter periods of time then units with low MR resitance. They just get parylzed less often.

But to make a succefully MR roll aginst mindblast, MR + DRN has to be greater then what number? Does anyone know?

I think it's 10 or 11 +DRN or something like that
