Even though I have played this game several times, I am uncertain what the messages in the caption screen means during a fight. For instance:
"John does 2 damage to golem. John-golem was immune to my damage." So, did John do 2 damage to the golem or not? It seems that he did, because eventually the golem dies. What does the "immune to my damage" message mean? Thanks |

As far as I know, this type of message applies to weapons which do "++" damage (i.e. 1D8+1, +1 cold damage), like the Flail of Ages or Frosteaver. The first part of the message refers to the "1D8+1" part, while the immunity was to the "+1 cold damage"). If I'm wrong, someone will be along in a minute to correct me. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes, I think you are right. It is either the elemental enhancement, or the (+x)part that does this. For example, even tho the golem is immune to weapons, maybe the (+x) part still comes into play. Oh the intricate joys of intricate enhancements [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yep it has to do with any magically inflicted damage....If it was just your weapon then the message would say "john-Weapon In-effictive".

Remember that this swings both ways.
Not only are some enemies immune to some elemental damages (e.g. hitting a Fire Elemental with FireTooth will only let the physical damage through), Some enemies are immune to the primary (physical damage) and only let the elemental damage through. This makes elemental damage extremely powerful and is one of the main reasons why the FoA is such a kickass weapon. Stoneskins e.g. only absorb the physical damage, so as long as your weapon does elemental dmg too mages are still unprotected

Are there any enemies which, without casting Stoneskin, are completely immune to physical damage?
