Ummm, I've had this type of thing happen often to me in Aetolia... which is what I used as an example. I've been raped by things here, it happens to everyone, but why does everyone have to go OOC and demand to know the cures/defences against such when this is supposed to be an RP realm.

My guess: powermask

This is the only defense I have that I never put up on the basis that it is worthless.

It's not powermask.

Nightsight?

I don't have any experiance with succumb... so its prollynot that. But if it is, sorry to give it away.

Well, we can always use the process of elimination:

If it isn't trans magic, then I'm guessing it has to be powermask or love potion (which technically isn't a defense). I always have everything else up (and what I don't have up typically is bolded), and when I was hit with succumb, it was drain 1k mana a tic.

HAHA it would be GREAT if it was Charismatic Aura, the defence for mana drain is a skill.... which constantly drains mana


Edit:Over looking over that list, it's got to be Nightsight, cause... isn't it in the NIGHT skillset? meh, maybe not but that makes most sence to me.

That beats powermask: 10p just in case someone uses Succumb, which is rare

Everyone should always have nightsight up, though. It doesn't drain anything, is more or less free to put up (maybe some mana), and EVERYONE has it.

see, it's the inept skill, I always thought it was a passive defence, seeing as I've never been blind in natural darkness.

I've been in other Muds where you need a Torch or something at night or you can't see outside at night, I thought that was Lusternia's way to make up for it.. I geuss it's not a passive defence then, seeing as I keep spaming it on *inno* no way to turn it off though, well dieing I geuss. It seems to fit the bill for me.
