View Full Version : Protection from magic
Spudsquisher Thu, 31st May '01, 7:47pm ok here's the deal.. i went to see kangaxx, to find out what the big fuss is about.. i killed his 1st body quickly..then when his 2nd one popped up, i cast protection from magic on him..the blue sphere went round him, but he still cast spells that wasted my party in about 20-25 seconds! i thought that with the PFM thing on him, he couldn't cast...whats going on?
Nobleman Thu, 31st May '01, 8:02pm You are supposed to protect Yourself against magic.. :D Ehh. That's about it. Protect the character who has a meelee weapon that can hit him. And start hack him down. IT would be best if You have a beserker that can "rage" and get immune to imprisonment
Spudsquisher Thu, 31st May '01, 8:08pm but in the decript it says that someone in the sphere can not cast magic!!!
Nobleman Thu, 31st May '01, 8:12pm Have I said something stupid again?
For Once I haven't time to check up on it this time. sorry. Guests coming by.
Christian Thu, 31st May '01, 8:13pm Are you sure you have learn to read???
read and understand
try this
:)
Shrike00 Thu, 31st May '01, 8:16pm You need to cast Protection from Magic on the person (preferably someone with a low thaco) who has a weapon that can hit the lich, i.e +5 or some such.
It shouldn't matter whether they can cast magic or not. They will be protected from the lich's magic while they bludgeon, slash, pierce him to death.
Hold the rest of your party back if you must.
Any other questions?

Spudsquisher Thu, 31st May '01, 8:23pm what is the average rainfall for the coalstal lowlands of venezuela?
Slappy Thu, 31st May '01, 8:38pm Tsk, don't you know anything :rolleyes:
Oh well, basically all you need to know is that the northwestern coastal regions experience descending air, and the resultant aridity can be severe, some places receiving less than 20 inches (500 millimetres) of rainfall annually. La Guaira, for example, receives an average of only 11 inches. Rain shadow areas behind coastal and upland ranges also receive little rain, while their corresponding windward slopes are generally well watered. Inland, the Llanos and the southern interior of the country generally receive sufficient rainfall to support tropical savanna, lush tropical rain forest (selva), and cultivated cropland and grassland pastures.
tsk some peopl just don't seem to know even the most basic of information ;)

toast Fri, 1st Jun '01, 8:12pm Otiluke's Resilient Sphere
Type: Defense, hindrance
Strategy: This spell has many many uses. Creating a sphere around the target that lets no damage pass through, this spell can be used offensively and
defensively. Assuming the spell is not resisted, it can be cast on one creature out of a mob to let you deal with the others first. This spell can be cast on enemy spellcasters to prevent them from casting on you. Also, this spell can
be used to shield an ailing party member. The possibilities are endless.
from some guide I got somwhere....

Blackthorne TA Fri, 1st Jun '01, 8:35pm Ah, but if you used that on Kangaxx, you couldn't damage him either...
Spudsquisher Fri, 1st Jun '01, 10:00pm ok, i have been trying 2 kill him for ages now!! i don't have that pallys only sword...can i hurt him with anything else? i keep hitting him and it just says 'wepon innefectave'
Zorac Fri, 1st Jun '01, 10:09pm You neeed +4 or better.
Lothar Fri, 1st Jun '01, 10:34pm Spudsquisher is quite right to be confused. The protection from magic scrolls should prevent an enemy from casting spells, but should still be able to be damaged by weapons (once protections wear off). Anyway, I have no idea why that didn't work. It works on other liches, although I've never tried the tecnique on Kangaax himself.
Spudsquisher Fri, 1st Jun '01, 11:17pm +4.. i tried using the daystar ( +4 vs evil ) but just says no effect) :(

Blackthorne TA Sat, 2nd Jun '01, 12:31am The enchantment level must be +4 or better; normally a weapon that has different bonuses vs. different monsters has an enchantment level of the lowest bonus...
Captain Spud Sat, 2nd Jun '01, 12:36am thats it? cast protection from magic on a liche and then hack away with carsomy? i cant wait until i import my thief into BG2...
Tyresian Sat, 2nd Jun '01, 12:43am Maybe its cause kangaxx's spells are special abilities such as the illithid stuff. His imprisonment is long ranged and he has the demilich howl. Maybe thats why the protection from magic scroll didnt work. I dont really kno, i just used it(gasp) on myself and beat him with a stick i bought from ribald.
zort Sat, 2nd Jun '01, 5:18am I just killed him by using project image with spell trap and malf's minute meteors + timestop and ring of ram. Eventually the image dies so cast another one since it casts so quick. Repeat until he dies.
Spudsquisher Sat, 2nd Jun '01, 7:08pm yay! i just killed him! got the staff of rhynn ( i think i got that wrong ) from ribald. gave it to jeheira and cast PFM on her, then had her kill him :)
thanks for all the help!!
Firestorm Sat, 2nd Jun '01, 8:34pm I always use Protection from Magic on my chars and that works the way that no spells can affect them/harm them. And take a look at the name of the scroll/spell: PROTECTION from Magic. Protectoins is a thing that helps you not a thing that harms you. So if you cast it on Kangaxx, you wouldnt be able to harm him with spells, and thats almost needed when fighting him.
Spudsquisher Sat, 2nd Jun '01, 9:42pm i didn't use ANY offensive spells when i killed him. PFM was the only one i used. just hid everyone other than jeheira in the corner and let her kill him.
i think he should have had some gold with him...
