Missile dmg and Zhetron's treasure

[Earth]

Are casters basic attacks counted as missile attacks or only bows, razorsdisks and javelins?

 

Those infernals guarding Zhethron's hoard are supposed to be killed to fill quest related to that hoard?

[Slawbug]

For purposes of "missile damage" bonuses, only physical attacks count. That does include things like Sharpshooter Spray, Shrapnel Grenade, and even Berserk Leap.

[Randomizer]

You don't need to kill the infernals guarding Zhethron's hoard and above normal difficulty it's better to avoid them from the acid damage and their ability to terrify foes.

[Earth]

so missile boosters goes waste as I thought.

 

I tried to avoid those infernals but since there are 2 groups I got ransacked when following 1 group from distance.

 

since acid got brought up: what's the deal with acid being superdmging? if enemy/ies throw acid bombs or create acid fields party is in desperate need of group healing.

[Randomizer]

There are two acid versions, normal and corruption which is higher and usually more persistent. Consider corruption the latest damage type that Jeff enjoys much like lightning aura from Geneforge 4 got brought over to Avernum.

well lately its been corruption when I have battled in Goldrag etc, beginning it was acid and acid fields (and fields either dmg or boost both enemies and friends no matter what description says).
