Default Re: Fire Bola vs Thunder Bow

Doh! I shoulda seen the whole ammo thing. Certainly makes a huge difference in all but the shortest battles. I'll save the Thunder Bow for situations where lighting is more effective. On that note, looks like I need to design a team of 'caddies' - gophers who can carry the correct 'club' ("hmm, facing Abyssia today, looks like I'll need the Thunder Bow", or, "eh, Formoria? Pass me Vision's Foe, please!").

On a side note, can anyone tell me if the spell Aim stacks with an Eye of Aiming (if not, I'm really going to regret slapping that Eye in his face)?

Aim and Eagle Eyes are spells that grant the same benefit (+4 precision), so they don't stack with each other. Eye of aiming may either 1) cause one of these spells to be cast at the user or 2) grant precision directly. 1) doesn't stack, 2) stacks. I don't know how Eye of Aiming works, but the manual lists if it acts as a spell IIRC.

Eye + aim don't stack.

Also, I thought aim and eagle eyes don't stack either but not 100% on that one.

Aim/Eagle Eyes grant +5 precision. Eye of Aiming grants +8 Precision and an affliction (One Eye) which gives -3 Precision and -2 to Att/Def. They're certainly not the same effect even though the net effect is pretty much the same. I don't know firsthand whether they stack with each other, although Aim/Eagle Eye almost certainly does not stack since one is just an area effect version of the other.
