Three Questions

Post by Christopher »

Number One. The Lightning Bolt Spell and Lightning strikes (from DM2), are they defended against with Anti Magic or Anti Fire or neither?
Number Two. Are there any spells that Anti Magic defends against, or is it just to defend against magic attacks like a Vexirk's normal attack (with its hands)?
Number Three (thought of another question). What spells does the spell shield (Ya Ir Dain) defend against?

I never really found any of the defence or shield spells to make much of a difference (if any), well not enough to warrant casting them. By the time you have spent 50 mana on defence, you could have blasted it with a huge fireball instead.

Its the relationship similar to anti-fire and fireshield, and shield spell and armour

Play around with the anti-magic stat and lightning, vexirks etc in DMute and see the effects : )

From what I've noticed anti magic does provide a good defense against lightning etc, but usually a good fireshield swings it
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

Only shield I often use is YaIr before entering melee.
Parting is all we know from Heaven, and all we need of hell.
