It was Strolling 2 but I don't remember the turn. Don't bother looking for it for my sake. I don't think it's worth the effort

Was I in Strolling 2?

Oh, I was. Old age is getting to me

Edit: Also, AARGH! That was two years ago - what have I been doing with my life??

Edit Edit: I wonder if the mechanism changed in a patch sometime?

I wonder what I have been doing with my life. I recently started my first game since then

I guess the mechanism was the same and I just got really unlucky. The open ended die must have hit that 0.5% chance of blinding my tartarian. According to the probability table in the manual a 18MR thug would have an 11% chance failing the MR check. Even with a decent MR of 20 he would have 6% chance of failing the check. So thugs failing the save will not be too uncommon.

By the way, didn't someone claim that the probability table in the manual was wrong and posted a more correct one?

I looked up the Gorgon and the Aegis in the wiki. The gorgon is listed as petrify +2 and the aegis is listed as petrify +1. I've tested the gorgon, which have pen 13. So I assume that the aegis is pen 12. I guess that they would stack, so that a gorgon with the aegis would have penetration strength 14.
