Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 What the heck is Radiance (Undead-Bane)? Several items have it, but I was never able to see any effect from it, and Jeff didn't answer my question about it. There aren't all that many undead monsters in the game, actually.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 it's supposed to be a bonus versus undead, I'm guessing some increase in damage. I'm trying it out now on the road to the Forgotten Ones. Using all 4 items and it doesn't seem to be significantly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Eigenvalue Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 In the same spirit, what is the vampiric touch? Some kind of damage bonus to the living creatures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I thought it was sort of like Life Drain from Avernum. Drains the life of the damaged person and gives it to the wielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 It works like Life Drain, but unlike Avernum's Life Drain I haven't been able to get much value out of GF4's vampiric items. —Alorael, who thinks that this is due to a number of factors. Geneforge has always emphasized ranged combat and GF4's changes don't completely undo that. Playing a lifecrafter makes melee even less appealing. And very importantly, there is no Thirsting Blade.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 The "regenerating" life drain item enhancement in G3 actually worked quite well for a melee-based PC. I guess that's gone the way of the Emerald Chestguard, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I used the artifact greaves, thirsting knife, and gauntlets that all had vampiric touch together. You don't always get a drain. The amount seems to be the total of the numbers and it can happen when you use essence shackles and other non-damaging spells.
