What is the best way to defend against blackjack? Is it based on the target race's size? Or their save vs blunt? Or random? Or...?

Thanks,
Io

Go with a dice game, possibly roulette... Or just in all seriousness, remain injured. I am not quite in the correct state of mine (thanks irish family drinking night) but there used to be this 'three eyed root' or something to that effect that when you ate it gave you a very weak poison. I know back in my day, some ten years ago when there was always about 40 people on, it made it so I neever got blackjacked, assassinated, strangled, etc. It makes the victim 'cautious'. I would go and check it out but.... Yea, I have some family members to continue drinking with. Hahah. Hope this helps though.

Above post is close...

Having a weak poison/hunger etc... Won't defend against being blackjacked or strangled or sleeped. BUT it will cause you to wake up every tick, meaning the bad guy has less time to mess with you while you are passed out on the Seringale roads.

As far as I know, there is no true "easy" defense against blackjack - the facetious posts are correct, as your best defense is avoidance - stay out of cities/thief friendly areas unless you need to be there.

Chill behind a closed and preferably non-passdoorable door as it opens you know someone is about to sneak in and while they have an "open delay" you can act accordingly. Highly overlooked tactic tbh.

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIEFS, to blackjack and steal, and run away and later on hear the bitching about stolen items.
