Bug with Maggots

Folket · #1 September 3rd, 2007, 03:14 PM

I tried usingt Maggots against a ghost king in single player and I noticed that the poison damage from maggots are capped at 110-119 damage.

I tried it several times with the ghost king having different max and current HP.

Hmm, thats bad. All those tartarians might survive.

Poison damage vs undead? Is that even possible?

It acts like poison (deals damage over several turns and is indicated by a green bar), but its not really poison. Its a little like poison that only effects undead.

The undead can also use invulnerability to get poison vulnerability.

A clever trick only used by the most experienced players

Good to know. If I ever want my undead to be vulnerable to poisons, now its possible!

Well, it would be rather strange if Maggots were bug-free...

Speaking of poisoning things that are immune to poison, how exactly does The Sharpest Tooth work? It just ignores the poison resist stat and deals its poison damage anyway?

Do poison-on-hit weapons need to deal at least 1 hp of damage to poison the target? Despite its name The Sharpest Tooth is not AN, or even AP according to the manual. Disappointing, even a cons-0 hunters knife is sharper than that.

Hey it's the sharpest tooth, not the sharpest thing in the world.

Like if it were the sharpest marshmallow, it wouldn't necessarily be sharper than, say, a pointed stick.
