devSin Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 In the game, rakshasas have immunity to spell levels less than 8 (Level 1-7). Excepting, of course, area effect spells. Fear my deadly Stinking Cloud.

This also may not cover all spells (fuck if I know which ones will bypass spell level immunity because of their projectile); I stuck to spells that have a lasting AoE (Sphere of Chaos, Death Cloud, etc.). I don't know if this will jive with most people, but I consider the fact that rakshasas kill themselves with their own Cloudkill a bug (especially since BioWare did give them insane spell immunity). Off-topic, what is the proper plural of "rakshasa"? Rakshasas, rakshasi, or simply rakshasa? If you can answer that, then what is the plural of "djinni"? Djinnis, djinn, djen, djinni, or dJenga?

I concur. Off-topic, what is the proper plural of "rakshasa"? Rakshasas, rakshasi, or simply rakshasa? Rakshasa. If you can answer that, then what is the plural of "djinni"? Djinnis, djinn, djen, djinni, or dJenga? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Djinni. The proper singular, however, is "djinn." Link to comment

Actually, that would be TSR . Link to comment
devSin Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Actually, that would be TSR .But it's always a question on which stats, abilities, and quirks BioWare decided to implement (so, even though rakshasa are supposed to have insane spell immunity, there's no way to know if BioWare reproduced this until you look).
