Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 When you cast spray acid on an enemy and the acid kills it, you do NOT get experience from it. Is it supposed to be like that? OR was spray acid JUST supposed to be a spell to weaken tough enemies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 It's not a bug, it's a feature. Kills by summoned monsters don't give you experience either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Rent-an-Ihrno Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 why is that so? doesnt make sense to me. you casted it yourself, didnt you? so why shouldnt one get exp from acid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Well, some monsters have acidic abilities too, and they can fight each other (if charmed or confused, for example). So, for example, if a slime killed something with acid, the game has no way of telling whether the acid is due to you or the slime -- and in the latter case, you obviously shouldn't be awarded the experience.

Ineffable Wingbolt Rent-an-Ihrno Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 sure but dont monsters also have melee attacks? fireballs? etcetcetc? one can charm/confuse those, too. edit: ah ok, i got it. acid is no direct attack, its stored in the "monsterinfo" or whatever that has been attacked. the computer can tell where the fireball etc came from, though. right?

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Exactly. Well, obviously, A3 doesn't have fireballs, but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Cloud of Blades causes this problem as well, but Cloud of Blades is a far more useful spell. —Alorael, who usually hopes to kill enemies with the first appearance of the cloud. Otherwise, just use it sparingly enough that you don't cripple your party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
