2801, High int vs neurological disruption
Posted by anti on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Hello there.

As I take it, the higher int - the less chance to get paralysed by neurological disruption. So, resist mental spell/commune helps, too, right?

But what about svs para? Do they work too?

How it works exactly? For example, I have felar or a giant with low int, and I'm going to fight transmuter. How shall I prepare myself?

I've been trying to getting eq with - svs para, but even -60 svs para didn't work well enough.

Shall I gather eq svs mental instead?

Thanks!

Save vs. paralysis is your most effective angle to reduce the effectiveness of neurological disruption.

However, expect it to still work sometimes, just as my characters trucking around with a lot more than -60 spell still get blinded and cursed. :)

Ok, thanks!

Also, a bit more precise questions:
1. What is better for the giant to save his big butt from getting held - helm with -10 vs para, or resist mental -7?
2. Helm with -19 vs para or illithid head charm?
3. Resist mental -7 or illithid head charm?

:)

Thanks again, sorry if I'm annoying, but really trying to understand how it works. Because I always thought that low int increases chances on successful paralysis and resist mental somehow compensate those things?

To the best of my knowledge, saves vs. mental is not helpful in this case.

Resist mental isn't useless (it cuts down the damage, for example) but if you want to be held less, your best answer is always more save vs. paralysis.
2807, Thanks a lot, now it's all clear! (nt)

I don't think so, no. Maybe vs. secondary effects.
