Halfling resistance

[bassball]

I was fighting today(couldnt get a log of it, sorry) and halflings are supposed to be resistant to harm, right? Well I thought so, and the harm spells, from a human shaman, one rank higher than my halfling, were mangling, doesnt sound right, is it?


Through sanc, that affects spells not just physical, right?

[Phostan]

Harm is an afflictive spell, halflings are no longer resistant to afflictive, just poison, plague, and negative(energy drain, vampiric touch, etc)

[bassball]

Oh, I thought I saw Dav say harm too

[Altheripper]

Someone is getting their information mixed up here and for some reason I don't think it's Dav. Harm is a negative spell I believe.

[bassball]

I think so to

Then, can anyone tell me why it hurt so bad?

[Jamus]

You didn't have very many saves vs. that kind of spell, maybe? Maybe sanc. doesn't affect it...? Maybe they were really proficient in that skill, maybe you weren't protected by magic very well. Maybe they were under the affects of some kind of magic - improving spell. Maybe thier save breaks were really high (most likely your answer). Maybe a combination of all of those, so the overall affect was huge. There are a lot of factors.

Wis/int affects it too.

Those are my guesses.

Flame arrow is an afflictive too, duh.

[bassball]

Alrighty, so can anyone tell me if I should have been getting mangld by a spell I am resistant to?

[Davairus]

Should be working fine now.

It is I think, today I fought the same shaman again, hamr spells were only massacreing at most, and not very often, so thats nice Thanks
Stupid justices need fixed too though lol
