I remember seeing a list of spell counters and resistances. Does anyone here know where it is? If not, I am mainly looking for something that will protect against cloudkill.

It's been awhile since I had SoA loaded.

There's one, possibly two, items that will specifically protect against cloudkill and a couple of other spells. Don't remember what they are off the top of my head.

Other than that, a "zone of sweet air" or whatever the druid/cleric spell is will knock out the cloud.

Thanks, I knew about zone of sweet smelling air for cancelling cloudkill. I'm actually looking for something to protect one character from cloudkill while I cast it near him.

I would buff up that character's poison resistance - use the Periapt of Proof Against poison, a potion to raise constitution, a ring of regeneration, etc.
Someone tell me, would a pro-actively cast Slow Poison spell help here, as well?

Uhh... cloudkill doesn't technically *poison* the character, so spells and abilities dealing with poison are rather useless. I do recall there being a spell in TDD that protects from things like cloudkill, but other than that I think magic resistance is the only way to protect an individual.

MR wont protect from Cloudkill, I know this because it works because it works on golems, and on MindFlayers.

IIRC Cloudkill does Poison damage, so havint the Ring of Gaxx or something that protects against poison will protect from that as well.

I read somewhere that cloudkill is buggy: the spell does not ignore magic resistance if it is cast normally, but does if it's from the wand.

Best protection: don't go into cloudkills.

I made such a table a long time ago, but I can't find it now. here is a short new one:

* Counterspells vs spell protections *

Spell Thrust vs.
Minor Spell Deflection, Minor Spell Turning, Minor Globe, Spell Immunity

Pierce Magic vs
same as Spell Thrust and also vs Spell Deflection

Secret Word vs.
same as Pierce Magic and also vs Spell Turning

Khelben's Warding Whip vs.
same as Secret Word and also vs Globe of Invulnerability

Ruby Ray of Reversal, Pierce Shield and Spellstrike vs.
same as Khelben's Warding Whip and also vs Spell Trap

* Counterspell vs combat protections *
Breach vs.
Shield, Protection Circle (what is that?), Resist Fear, Prot from Fire/Cold, Fireshield, Prot from Acid, Prot from Electricity, Prot from Magic Energy, Prot from the Elements, Protection from Energy... Stoneskin. :D

Hope the info is correct. :)
