Hi,
There has been some confusion when the following types of effects come up, so I was wondering what defenses are applicable:
a) 5 Laugh (from an arrow in the dark): Can this be stopped by a Magic Armor (because of the number) and by a Poison Shield (because of the Laugh)? Or just one of them? What about Resist Poison?
b) 30 Prison Slay (from a weapon blow): Can this be stopped by a Magic Armor (because of the number) and by a Spell Shield (because of the Prison)? Or just one of them? What about Resist Magic?
I thought (a) could be stopped by a Poison Shield, but when (b) happened a few weeks ago I believe I heard that Spell Shield did not work against it. But I assume the answers to (a) and (b) should basically be the same...
I know that the Laugh and Prison effects only take effect if it gets to Body (past armor and defenses) - so does this mean that Poison/Spell Shields and Resists can only be used if it gets to body? If so, does it stop just the effect, or the damage too?
Thanks!
Patrick
