Missile storm immunity item

Tactless mages.... I miss playing a wizard.

Definatley not ANOTHER immunity item. That's the last thing there needs to be in the inventory. 5 damage is too much. What's so great about being a level 15 cleric/ paladin? I say 3 magical DR on every type of armor aviable except padded and full plate is suitable. That'll keep some rogues, clerics, paladins, fighters, whatever away fromthe DR.

If most classes want to wear it, they will suffer natural penalties for it.. like less AC, or far less hide/ms. Give the breastplate/chainmail -25% to bludgeoning. So if barbarians depend on it, a mage can ice storm, or whack them with a flamed staff.

Can't have magical DR.

Anti: mages were always hurting themselves, but in this case they don't suicide. I don't think they could hit themselves with igms anyways.

No magical DR peeps. If IGMS is fixed, to be counted as one spell.. it should be fine. But the mage that only spams that spell is doing much less damage the one casting.. oh say.. DFB.

I put a reflex save for half on igms and ilms. Lets see how that goes.

I think it should have a will save. Reflex is too easy to get.

Will saves deal with the mind though, not dodging missiles persay...

Well it get's pretty lame when a mage resorts to just spamming IGMS/ILMS against drow.

A few good mages (drunken) know how to take down a monk, but all the other high levels fight like a level 10. Spamming spells that will always do some damage.

It would be nice to limit casting of those types of spells to once per turn (missle storms horrids mantles)

aslong as they have a save i dont care if they spam it or not atleast you know you have buy the gear to try and do a save :S lol because then its down to you not the mage for being annoying in casting spells with no saves to them >.< shame my dfl got deleted

it would pawn mages to a certian degree now

Does that mean we can limit you from casting grease to 1 turn as well?

*Shrugz* nosave spells are a necesary evil especialy for mages since they can't melee at all.

Those build for it, perhaps but those build for casting can't, they are either all int or all charisma(wiz or sorc) now if you gave immunity to those spells+the immunities that are already in and evasion (there is a evasion shortsword and you can simply dual wield it with a +5 waepon) they couldn't do anything.

an evasion short swrood +5 wouldnt you think that would cost alot of money?
