Dark Flame Discussion Thread II

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. My question was really more of a philosophical one. I was thinking, If I were a druid in amongst a bunch of adventurers, and I knew that a big battle against unknown foes were coming up, what would I be doing, and what group strategies could be concocted before hand? I know that I would personally put up any defenses I could, (I would also be 'passing a brick' as it were), but how would a group cooperate? In BG single player, its easy to have your cleric cast bless while everyone is still in range, but I haven't played much multi-player. Does the cleric shout out "Hey, everybody! Don't go too far if you want to be blessed!"

But really, this is more philosophical, not a serious question.

Well, I have moved up to the roof. That way I can avoid to a certain extent many magical blessings or such.

I was wondering about the battle though, my character will not be much good for support(ie bows) as he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with them. So, if there are any enimies to appear on the rooftop, I could take a little of the heat off of Aegis and Mysteria so they can gets some shots off if that is what you have in mind. If not, just let me know and I will move my character accordingly. I am really inerested to see how this plays out.

That could work. BS could be Mysteria's and my hired goon while we loose the arrows. Thats my basic plan, though I intend to get some melee going near the end.

5 cookies a day, plus the added protection of Buzzy the Bear Drinking bear. You might have to wait for that one. He's kind've hung over right now...

Sadly, yes.

Unfortunately the ladies locker room was conveniently placed beside Gwally's bedroom - and subsequently destroyed at the Dawn Ritual

But Ysh, the greatest pleasure comes in the face of peril....you know that....I have seen the leather.

Somehow, I never seem to be around when some posting is going on

I need holidays so I can stay up later

I posted in the DF thread and, as I said there, I suppose that somebody (I'm thinking of Gwally) already had an idea about what will show up, so I didn't want to invent an interruption.

@BS and Aegis: if you don't want to be where I put you, just PM me and tell me how to change my post.

Mysteria: There is absolutely no problem with posting late. We do it all the time. "Back before the party began, Gwally had this interesting conversation with a mouse....," or "This post fits between Thantor's and Nippy's posts three pages back..." It happens, and we can deal with it. Don't worry.

Nah, it's all good.

Nice post Gwally

I also will add that dracoliches can't be turned, even though they are undead

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Tue Mar 26, 2002 2:39 pm

@T'l what kind of magic resistances do they have?

T'lainya · Post by **T'lainya** » Tue Mar 26, 2002 2:50 pm

Shadow Dragons5-60% depending on age.I'd say these are 30-50% and immune to level draining.
The dracolich is immune to charm, sleep,enfeeblement,polymorph, cold(magic or natural),electriscity, hold, insanity,and death spells or symbols. They can't be poisoned, paralyzed or turned. Magic resistance is as the original form (green in this case)45-55% I'd say since I imagine this was a big and very old to ancient dragon.
Once the body is destroyed the spirit must be killed too, whicjh can only be done with a power word, kill or similar spell.

Thanks T'l
