For me I really hate paralysis as there isn't the quick cure for it. And I absolutely hate cosmic web. Why do we have web? Someone get rid of it.

Maybe but isn't tipheret like a 5 power drain or something?  happy.gif


Nope, Tipheret doesn't cost power. It's a great skill and far superior the writhe, the only thing I'm not certain about is whether it frees you from impaling so I've left writhe in my impale triggers for now.

I have to check into that myself. The lowmagic equivilent (summer) works on web, vines, etc... But not on something like Transfix, does Tipheret work on Transfixion?

Those high and low magic spells only burn away bonds. You can't burn away a sword in your gut (unless you want to smelt it into your body, heh heh) and with transifixtion, there's nothing to burn away. So it's just to counter skills that bind you.

Thanks, Roark.

Sounds good to me, though I believe the AB file for Tipheret mentions that it removes 'mental' bonds too, which would imply transfixion. Something to look into if it's the case. I'd check, but being Wiccan I have lowmagic smile.gif

I love having my archdemon with shackles on, and watching them use those tipheret stuff, then they get webbed right again wink.gif

The skill I hate being hit with the most is that G** D**** web-Whoreing. Seriously people, I use it to, but two people, a webber and a (just about anything else) can pretty much keep a decent fighter down for the entire fight. Maybe its cause i'm not a GREAT fighter, but most decent fighters never recover once the webbing starts.

Heh.. I think that was why they tried to make webs expensive for some classes through the cost of enchantments and jewelry. Mages don't have much trouble with it, but a warrior... Heh, I do feel for you.

It's not that difficult to get out of a single web. Web+Hangedman is a tougher combo.
