Magic Missiles? I'm immune to those!

    [​IMG] Yea, you saw the topic. And you may try it yourself.

    Cast Shield (mage spell level 1).
    Your hero is now PERMANENTLY resistant to Magic Missiles (unless someone casts dispel magic, or he dies of course ;)).
    Rest as long as you want, you won't be able to dispose this new "advantage" your mage just got.

    Crystall Ball results:
    1. For Dan Simpson, a must addition to his "strategies" section - though MM is not so important, but still..
    2. For ShadowCheater users - nah, they don't need this besides those fancy stuff...
    3. For me, one more thing to use a rocket launcher on. *shrug*

    Hmmm... I don't think I ever had a Magic Missile cast at me in BG2. It would have come in handy in IWD and its expansions though! ;)

    [​IMG] I thought this was supposed to have been fixed with the official patch... Not that it was ever intended to stay permanent, only until the shield ran out...

    Official patch?

    Tal, you're too optimistic about Bioware. The patch is of course, installed.

    Just curious, why on earth did you cast shield and actually got hit by MM later on?
    Or are you just inside the game programming again :)

    Noble, I deliberatly casted Shield and casted MM just to see if I was right.

    There are "mucho" such things in the game, and I don't want to miss not a single one. All must be fixed.

    Of course, I will miss to spot few, I'm not a robot, right? ;)

    Curious, then - does this quirk work only versus magic missile or will it protect me from other spells? (I'm thinking lightning bolts or Melf's Acid Arrow?) Like I said, just curious.

    No, this one works only for Magic Missile.

    For other spells there are other "Dan Simpson like" stuff, but we won't post that here, right? :p

    btw, whomever buys NWN (and I won't) do check if Shield spell does this there too. I bet it was Dave Gaider's internal joke. :toofar:
