| | | Getting hit by a Bolt of Lightning
Hey, I thought this topic had been discussed before, but I couldn't find the board so I guess that one got removed. Thing is, that the person who created the topic, had claimed to be hit by a bolt of lightning, and that everybody started commenting how 'that is impossible' and 'I never heard of such a thing, so you must be lying'.
Well, I just got hit by a bolt of lightning too. It happened while I explored Peldvale, and it was raining heavily. All of a sudden, Branwen got struck by a bolt of... well, lightning. Funny is, that it happened again only a few moments later with a bandit I was fighting.
Branwen took completely no damage, and also the bandit acted very casual, so I guess it's just a little joke of the creators, perhaps to catch you in a moment your dozing off while wandering pointless through the area.
Possible that you also don't believe me, but I don't really care: it was fun

| | | It is funny.
Sometimes I would be checking/playing with inventory when all of a sudden I'd hear a terrible grunt. Returning to the game screen, I expected to be confronted with wolves, or kobolds, or something - nope, just 'Ajantis struck by lightning.'

| | | I've had characters hit by lightening multiple times. Always in wilderness areas, but not always while it was raining. Sometimes they take damage, but most often they do not. Just something fun included in the game.

| | | It has happened to all of us, though I recall that it took me several finished games for it to happen. Very rarely, but it happens. ^^ |

| | | I had Montaron struck by lightening during a rainstorm at the Friendly Arm Inn. Quite a surprise if I do say so myself.

Then click on the reply button below.
Once you're in the 'Reply to Thread' screen:
- Click the 'Manage Attachments' button under the 'Additional Options' section.
- Click the browse button and find where you saved the screenshot, then click on upload.

| | | Wow, great pic! It always seems to rain on this map, doesn't it? This is where I remember getting zapped by lightening the most. Oh, and how do you capture screenshots like that? I've never known the key for it, but I've always wondered how. Thanks to Thomas I know how to post them, but not how to get them in the first place.
