Posted: Sat Oct 01, 2005 1:56 pm Post subject: Upcoming Change: Resist-Based Powers |
|
|
A long overdue adjustment will come in soon for magic and mental resistance and attacks that use them as defenses. This includes psionic fear attacks, drums of fear, blood siphon, etc.
Resists will change from a percentage to a flat numeric value. The higher the value, the better protected you are.
The factors you'll need to consider (no particular order, here) are --
Mental Defense:
- Your profession. Bonuses for Psionic, Performer.
- Factors that added % mental resist previously such as gear, spells, etc.
- Intellect.
- Mentality.
- Your level.
Mental Attack:
- Your profession. Bonuses for Psionic, Performer, Guardian.
- Charisma.
- Mentality.
- Intimidation skill. For Spellsongs, the music skill required instead.
- Your level.
Magic Defense:
- Your profession. Bonus for Mage.
- Factors that added % magic resist previously such as gear, spells, etc.
- Intellect.
- Mentality.
- Your level.
Magic Attack:
- Your profession. Bonus for Mage.
- Intellect.
- Mentality.
- Persuasion skill.
- Your level.
We've been due for a skill re-training anyway due to the combat updates. This change will necessitate that retraining even more, so yes, everyone will get to retrain skills very soon. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

A T/F re-selection will be permitted too, yes, as well as stat re-training. Profession, race change will NOT be offered. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

I've modifed the skill used for mental attacks for spellsongs. With the number of skills Performers already need to train, adding another skill to the list didn't seem fair. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

Psychic Hammer is not a resistable spell, it's defended against like a normal physical attack, so you don't need intimidation. Same for lightning bolt, etc. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

can you explain the new range on the resistance? seems like 182 is a big number for my level 12 char.. unless the range is to 1000. |

A character with 100 in their stats, 200 in their skills and 100% in combined resist items/spells/etc would have ~1250 resist. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

My apologies if it's been stated.. but I've obviously missed some things.
We need intimidation to resist certain psionic/mage attacks? |

No, you need Intimidation to make Psionic and Spellsong Attacks. |
