15795, Telluric surge and metal creatures.
Posted by Druidic on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Expected: Telluric surge harms metal creatures.

Happens: It doesn't. Just says they don't have any metal armor.

Examples: Iron golems, lead golems, drolem, etc.
18080, FNCR. Mostly.

1) This works correctly now if the victim is entirely made of metal.

2) This relies on the area author assigning the NPC a material type, which is not done by default. If you see a specific NPC where this logically should work (but doesn't), file it as a typo, and someone will look at it. Note that this should be the predominant material-- an NPC with some metal armor in a description doesn't count. Iron golems and the like do.

3) Telluric currents are inspired by, but not identical to, magnetic fields. Please do not assume real-world physics applies-- for example, Telluric Surge works just fine on copper items and the like.
