Is playing SoA without NPCs possible? - Page 3

Dundee Slaytern · 08-02-2002, 06:16 AM

With ToB installed, the Cloak of Mirroring gets nerfed, and only absorbs spells, not reflect them. That said and done, has anybody successfully soloed SoA-ToB on a minimum of Core Diffculty with a Diviner?

What??? In ToB, the Cloak of Mirrors doesn't reflect spells... Awww... How am I suppose to kill Beholders without doing anything... That is so much fun... Anyway, does the Cloak of Mirrors in ToB absord the spell "imprisionment"?

There is still the Shield of Balduran, and Imprisonment plus all mental spells still bypass the Cloak of Mirroring.

Does it bypass the Shield of Balduran? Ah screw it, I'll just turn into the Slayer while dealing with imprisionments... he he

Doesn't Death Ward guard against Imprisonment? It's an easy enough spell (level 4 Priest). Since I had a berserker, I just had him go "Enrage" when facing Kangaxx the Demilich so that he'd be immune to the Imprisonment spell.

Death Ward does not protect against Imprisonment. Spell Immunity:Abjuration does though.

The high level Spell Protections protects from it, too.
But, lets not go over it again guys... There are (too!) many topics on this subject... And you can always check Dundee's Kangaxx Guide for all the possible methods.

Just a note though. Kangaxx's form of Imprisonment is different from the normal version of Imprisonment, in that it is a ranged attack for him when it is supposed to be a touch attack.

Thank you, Dundee. I knew there was a spell that would ward against it, but I couldn't remember. Death Ward was the only thing I could think of.

Spell Immunity:Abjuration should be castable by level 12 Mage (6th level Mage spell).

Cheers,
