BIG bug (in General)

The Slayer's familiar beat Shiela's familiar [1770]
The Slayer's familiar draws strength from his weapon! [-2884]

Seems like there is a very large bug with vampiric aura.

guy casting it wearing penalty armour perchance? like % reduction to magic

Tenchi Muyo January 3 2005 10:31 PM EST

The guy wearing it is only wearing the tattoo.

What the @#$!

It's only against people with dispel magic. For some reason, DM = LOSE hp with vampiric aura, rather than reduction of the gain.

no, that's expected behavior as anyone who's used VA with high penalty armor can tell you... the upside is I thoughtfully capped how low your VA can be taken.

Tenchi Muyo January 3 2005 10:43 PM EST

But I have no penalty! The character is ONLY wearing the tattoo...how is it making sense that VA is actually killing me with no armor penalties?

AdminJonathan January 3 2005 11:01 PM EST

If it helps, you can think of DM as a huge armor penalty.

Will DM affect enchantment-like effects? (VA of MH)

I don't think so but this seemed a good time to ask.

VA at level 0 is worse than no VA.

AdminJonathan January 3 2005 11:09 PM EST

vendo: you are right, DM only affects cast enchantments, not status effects that look sort of enchantmentish.

vendo January 3 2005 11:30 PM EST

Thought so. Just seemed right.
