Bob the Vastness..... Dead to rights?

[Nauquan]

I watched the fight a few times. Some things I noticed:

The guys that you had weapons of sharpness died much faster. That was obviously due to by-passing etheralness

Most of your troops had MR of 10. They were summoned after the anti-magic so that didn't help them. Bob has blood vengence at
+2. So the typical guy had 1/8 chance of hitting (etheralness and luck) and then had to pass a MR check at -2 (~30%). This means that only 3.75% of your attacks would land.

I think you were unlucky even so.

Good points. I did not realize the check was at 12. That also explains a litle better my 24MR air queens dropping like flies to boosted MHs.

It was pretty cool to watch BV pop them like ripe fruit. Image if Bob had slots! .

Interesting so each of your guys had about a 2% chance of hitting. This leads us to the cliche'

"You couldn't hit the broadside of a paralyzed vastness"

No, weapons of sharpness does not make the weapons magical or bypass BE in any way. (I actually tested it to be sure, sometimes the game mechanics can surprise you)
Weapons of sharpness must make them die faster in some other way.
