Killer npcs

[luminus]

Right, so, NPCs are trained to kill ya, right.

But... if entering the cave with cursed pirates at the monkey cave (Ulgoth), you wouldn't expect a fully buffed cleric based toon of level 20 with all sorts of protections on, including elemental and death ward and alike... to get smacked like this?



Yea, I actually died after that spell.
In short what happened, I rushed in there, fully buffed, got an unknown spell on me that hit Saul for 170 (!) physical damage, no touch roll or anything. The next blow of a pirate on him, of course a 20, and BAM... 3 seconds later I was in the Fugue.

So, okay, npcs as trained killers... but guys... isn't that a little bit overpowered? 170 damage? One (unknown) spell?
I really like to know now what spell this is!!

I believe those particular pirates use drown, which could explain why you had a bad day.

Rolling a 1 sucks...That's why Valefort suggests Steadfast Determination.

[Calodan]

Also there are belts with immunity to drown spell. Very helpful when fighting cursed pirates and druids with that spell.

Why, so funny ... cleric complaining, come back when you get one shotted by a death spell

'Oh, I took 90% damage, this is sooo unfair...'
- Says the player of a cleric, who is immune to critical hit Energy Drains with your Deathward spell.

Anyhow, I think this server should have a spell called "Waterbreathing" that grants immunity to the "drown" spells. Wizards, Druids, and Clerics with Water domain should have access to it.

not to sound crass, but (#2) happens when you party naked. perhaps you will consider opponents worthy now.

and yes, steadfast is better than a fill for your extra feat.

been getting randomly smoked by casters since 2016.

There is a spell that prevents drowning from working.

It is indeed called Water Breathing.

Level 3 Wizard/Sorcerer, Druid and Cleric with Water Domain- level 2.

2 hours/ level

I personally haven't tested this spell against Drowning.... but for flavor it is supposed to give you access to "Underwater areas".
