Burgeoning Battle Gamma EvilEye Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hostile Effect Resistance Protection from Weapons What do these do? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk The1Kobra Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hostile Effect Resistance will protect you from ALL damage, fire, cold, acid, etc. (Not sure about physical) Still, Hostile effect Res is VERY useful. As for protection from weapons, im not exactly sure, it most likely protects you from physical attacks and nothing else, I know armor will help your resistances. And when all else fails, equip/de equip the select items, and then check your resistances/armor and see what changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 That is, Hostile Effect Resistance resists hostile effects, and Protection From Weapons protects from weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Protection from weapons is usually only for melee attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 In BoA, it protects against missile attacks, too. Does it not do this in A4? Er, I should say that the creature immunity against melee protects against missile attacks, which I think is more or less the comparable protection.

Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 To summarize, no one knows anything definitive, and I would be wary to trust the given resistance percentages. I can only tell you for sure that HER will protect you from effects like slowing, and it likely reduces elemental damage as well. PWR reduces physical damage in general.

Seasoned Roamer Chilung Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hostile effect resistence is basically for every 1% HER you gain +1% resistence in all resistences except stunning. I don't know about protection from weapons, it just seemed to add to your armour (and I'm not certain it gave the other additional benefits of armour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hostile Effect Resistance doesn't protect against slowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I feel embarrassed; I have not played Avernum 4 in a while so I do not remember what new effects there are. Perhaps charming and poison apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
