Nowbi Scouts

[Warner]

Nowbi Scouts:
While hunting there under the new changes, i noticed a:they poison almost every time i'm hit, and b:the poison lasts forever and a day.
Now normally i wouldn't be worried about being hit (risk of combat)
but the poison basically flatlines my stats down to base scores
making hunting them totally unfeasable.
Before someone points out something rediculously stupid,
I'd like to clarify i have:
Pulse Weapons : 84 (96)
Evasion : 84 (92)
Agility : 45 (62)
Perception : 39 (40)
Mentality : 24 (25)

Encumbrance: You are minimally encumbered.
Armor Hindrance: You are unhindered by your armor.
Level 28
In the combat outlook Trevor mentioned the NPC's would have
3.0xlevel-offensive and 2.something defense per level
that would put the scout's offensive at 90ish.
and defensive at less.
After getting poisoned my stats are sacked to the point
where i cannot hit them without sweeping with unarmed,
which isn't always effective.
I am not understanding how something a mere TWO levels above me
is bitchslapping me around with skills that are onpar
with the attacker.
Would also like to know if the poison length is working
properly, it seems to last for a very long time, which means as soon as
i'm poisoned the hunting is over. I could understand poison
lasting for like 4-5 minutes, but over 20 is a rediclous boon for
being hit once. I don't think even Stilldawn's poison would last that long.

Since the nowbi scouts are my product, I'll field this one.

Regarding the poison:
1. With your publicly attested low vitality setting the benchmark, it's not too contrived to assume your poison resistance plain stinks.
2. The scout poison potency is comparable to the poison on a weapon I checked into on your character; poison that I'm presuming you made yourself.

Take this into account as you consider:
1. The poison is doing what poison is supposed to do, not to mention that
2. It's been reiterated several times that the Echak hunting mobs were custom-coded to present a significantly more challenging hunting experience beyond the vanilla >stab-search-repeat. They're harder on purpose.

You shouldn't be able to even fight these things because of the level difference, much less the poison issue.

They're level 50. BTW I had accidentally left level out as a factor in defense and corrected this. As well, the factor level creates in overall hit and miss was adjusted upward a lot this morning.

You wont work off your posion penalty by guzzling non lethal poison all day, IF any, it only raises resistance the tiniest amount, The Vial of Pain poison I believe will give you a max of around 15 percent towards your resistance with The Black Vial giving you around another 15 percent and still drinking or applying these raises the resistance rather slowly. The fastest way to raise your resistance would be to trip poison boxes. I suggest at your level of resistance doing so by tripping them just outside the hospital and only getting healed if you KNOW you will die, otherwise let it run its course. Lower level boxes tend to have a milder poisons so I also suggest paying somone to get you said boxes. Although there is an occasional mean one in there.

Again you can only raise your resistance so much by actually being poisoned the rest you are going to have to do by raising your Vit. Its not a good idea to run around with that low of Vit anyways so I suggest that method first then top it off with actual poisons.

I just went out and checked Nowbi Scouts on the Lookout Path and with 110 appraisal I'm getting that they're 30th. Nowbi archers are 50th however.

Totally ignore what I said about nowbi scout level, I thought you had said nowbi archer which is a completely different deal.

Did you say the poison lasted 20 minutes?

I havent tested my stat dropping poison to see how long it lasts but I know more black vial only lasts around five minutes. So if you ACTUALLY timed it at lasting 20 minutes than I would definatly say something is wrong.

Maybe if I get really bored I will time one of my stat dropping poisons
