Guest geg_Ma3gau Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Hi. Is there any way to make bosses instakillable with vorpal, finger, flesh to stone etc in the next versions?
Dakk Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 In Soviet Stratagems, boss instakills you. (I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself)
DavidW Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Hi. Is there any way to make bosses instakillable with vorpal, finger, flesh to stone etc in the next versions? Well, insofar as SCS makes someone immune to instakill who wasn't previously, it would depend on the details. The only place I can think of where I do that is the "standardise dragon immunities" component, and obviously if you don't want the effects of that component, don't install it. If you're asking whether SCS should remove vanilla immunities, the answer is probably "no", since that kind of thing makes the game easier, and so isn't really in SCS's remit. I guess if there was some particular human/demihuman character who was just gratuitously immune to death magic, I might consider reverting it in SCS, but it would depend on the details (sometimes these immunities are needed for scripting reasons).
Guest geg_Ma3gau Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Ok. I just think that if bosses like bodhi/irenicus or maybe someone else whom i forgot (bosses in ToB included) were not flesh to stone/polymorph/finger of death/wail/fear etc immune, it would improve balance of spells: instakill spells would be much more useful for the player. RIght now, the only good times to use instakills are dragons. Anything else gets blasted away by damage spells easier i think and its a shame.
Ardanis Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Ok. I just think that if bosses like bodhi/irenicus or maybe someone else whom i forgot (bosses in ToB included)Nope, they all have scripted dialogue, so killing them sooner may skip it.

Ardanis Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 He's not a boss-fight. It was supposed to be a fool-proof measure, however much lame it was, that player won't get stuck in the plot.
phordicus Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 the only good times to use instakills are dragons. read it several times. let it seep into every crevice in your brain. lean back. exhale. life is good.
