Timestop question

Remove all ads!

when you cast time stop time stops for everyone but the caster and my question is, if the caster has prot. for magic weapons will the time in the timestop contribute to the lasting time for the protection? and what about when someone else uses time stop?

 

One of the anomalities of "Time Stop" is that all effects keep ticking on (poison, bless, potions...) -it only throws that gray blanket on the screen and prevents all but the caster from acting. Louzy work from the development team in this part.

Could probably even speak to them during time stop... Should try.

 

Yes the Prot. Magic weapons continues to burn up it's 4 round duration whilst in the middle of a timestop.

EDIT:- I see Virne beat me to it...

 

Another question: Is it possible to make yourself immune to Timestop? (i.e. Spell Immunity)

 

No but Ide like to think that the PC and his party should get immunity to it. At the least it shouldnt freeze my plantar summons. Time stop is very strange in BG. Powerful for you, but strange.

 

Apart from the Immunity to Timestop you can get at the end of the Ascension mod unfortunatly not, since it's an Abjuration spell then Spell Immunity:Abjuration should make you immune to the effects but that's open for debate I think.

Also how did everyone do with Ascension? some real nasty battles in that mod...

 

Time Stop might be an Abjuration spell but it's effect is not focused on the players but on the time itself. Unless you could protect time from abjuration.

 

Well my opinion on it is the complete opposite I'm afraid, Spell Immunity is a self explanatory name it is supposed to make you Immune to anything that would affect you in the chosen school of magic. And Time stop affects all but the caster but it is still under an abjuration spell and is still triggered using magic so I think it should be possible to not be affected by it because of the immunity and as i just said Timestop is magical not natural. But everyone will have their own opinons regardless of what everyone else say's and thinks.

 

Time stop is Alteration, but spell immunity won't protect you. There's some items in mods making you immune to it, though.

 

Immunity to timestop sounds to me like the immunity to the end of the world. When a wizard casts timestop, he creates a sphere where time doesn't flow, except for himself. If you could resist that effect you would have to be a skilled mage and cast a counterspell to cast the same exception to yourself that mage casting timestop does. But natural immunity. No way!

 

there is actually an effect within the game that makes you immune to timestop, you cannot get it without hacking and cheating though.
the effect is the same as the one demogorgon uses.

 

Oh.. Demogorgon is immune to timestop? Never played that far. I think it is because he is an extraplanar creature so he should be immune to all these timestop-spacetravel-quantumleap thingies.

 

Melisan is just a normal person with no more Bhaal essence in her then yourself by the time face her and she's immune to timestop but if you try the oversight mod you get the monks proper HLA's instead of the fighters which is so weak in comparison, (the fighters HLA's) one of the ability's (Lunar stance) gives you immunity to Imprisionment and Timestop among otherthings for a short while.

Look at these descriptions and judge for yourself if they are overpowered or not.

Any high level monk player worth their salt could slaughter anyone with this, the new HLA's are like putting a Fighter, an Inquisitor, a Cleric and a Wizard slayer into one package shaking it around and adding extra ability's, and I thought the Sorcerer, Blade and F/M/T was overpowered.

 

Very impressive.. Just like in Icewind Dale II describes monk: A high-level monk is not considered as human anymore, rather an outer-planar creature.

 

an outer planar creature? are you suggesting something simuler to the Sorcerer? seeing as they are thought to have the blood of a dragon or powerful blooded creature running through them and are thought to be a product of the time of troubles, the idea makes sense since they are the most powerful spell caster type in the game and they don't need to be intelligent.
