I took a peek inside the scripts, because I remembered some funny business surrounding the stacking behaviors of ablative DR spells over in NWN1.EasternCheesE wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 4:26 pm IIRC, premonition comes first or actually overwrites stoneskin. They definitely do not stack.
Aside from that, they all offer same effect type and engine can cancel effects (not sure if it does/doesn't). Only practical testing can tell how it works, but that's a sort of thing that any CL 30 arcane caster can test, honestly.DaloLorn wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 7:52 amI took a peek inside the scripts, because I remembered some funny business surrounding the stacking behaviors of ablative DR spells over in NWN1.EasternCheesE wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 4:26 pm IIRC, premonition comes first or actually overwrites stoneskin.

The answer is a bit more complicated:
In theory, this means you can get up to 600 HP's worth of ablative DR/adamantine (300/30, 200/20, and 100/10) by casting all three spells on yourself.
- Shades/Premonition deletes Shades/Premonition, effectively restoring it to full "HP". While active, it takes precedence over the Stoneskin family.
- Greater Stoneskin deletes Greater Stoneskin (see above remark). While active, it takes precedence over Stoneskin.
- Stoneskin deletes Stoneskin.
That is correct, yes. Hence the "while active, X takes precedence over Y" in my previous post.Tsidkenu wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 9:58 pm I do not believe the effects stack concurrently, but rather consecutively. That is, you won't be walking around with 600/60 DR.
Premonition must discharge before Greater Stoneskin will take effect, and likewise G. Stoneskin must discharge before Stoneskin will commence its protection.
So a level 30 caster could absorb 300 damage at 30/adam, then 200 damage at 20/adam, then 100 damage at 10/adam. 600 damage absorbed in total. I think that's how it worked... been a while.
