Ok. Now that I've calmed down a bit the constructive part.
1) Is this spell capable of being saved against? Everyone in room died except Toarn who was nearing 1100hp. Tells me no one saved vs. it.
2) 875+ points damage as an area? Are you kidding??? Maybe this should be looked at.

If this is the way it is intended to be don't bother ever telling me 'Wanna do Gith' because the answer is NO!!!!

This is for all intents and purposes an area Death proc. Only 1000+ hp live through it.

Hey Salen, dunno if you saw it, but check out my post in the Logs secion about psi mobs and ultrablast.. we had people in the party hit for over 900hps, with several almost total spanks due to that in MD, and that was *before* it was upgraded.. heh

From what I understand, it doesn't use sv_spell, and there apparently isn't any other save for it judging by the amount of damage it does.

Thats also the reason why I won't go to Gith, or the psi section of MD.

Supposedly Mind Blank blocks (or reduces it), but nobody has a clue even where the quest starts.

Hey cherz, doesn't matter much if it is bashed.. I've gotten hit with psi attacks from bashed mobs before they stand up.

1) there is a save.
2) mind blank helps block it.
3) tower of iron will helps block it (tho I believe that tower is self-only atm, which I suppose should be looked at).

POWER

Power is the measure of mental strength as it applies to telepathic and
magical abilities. It governs the ability of the character to "channel"
its magic or telepathic powers and, in the case of the illithid and
yuan-ti races, also determines how much mental power they have.

Currently the power stat is only used by the illithid and yuan-ti races
for their telepathic abilities. In the future, however, the power stat
will be applied to any and all classes that have or will have the ability
to "control" sentient beings.

The power stat will determine how well the caster can hold a creature
by a charm spell, or bind and control a creature from another plane.
It will only apply to "thinking" lifeforms -- those that can actively
try to break the bonds of the spell holding them.

Once the code is implemented (and please don't ask when, you will be
notified in the usual places by the usual means), all affected classes
whose power stat falls below the miniumum requirement for that class will
have it raised to the miniumum by the code. Anyone above the power stat
will remain where they are. We will not be allowing rerolls.

All characters created under the New Character Generation Code will
have the required stats in place already and will not be changed.

See also: "RACIAL STATS", "CLASS STATS"

So you must know something we dont?! Power is also used to block psi attacks?

After talking to a lot of chanters out there, I'm beginning to wonder if the Mind Blank quest is imped yet. Nobody has a clue where it even starts.

Would be a nice spell even if it means an addition to spellups. I can handle that but would like to learn it.

Snizzle · Postby **Snizzle** » Wed Jan 02, 2002 2:13 pm

Chanter Comrade N,

I have looked for many hour for the start of the Mindblank spell quest. Alo most all my idle time goes into either solo xp or the search (I play no alts).

I am a sniffling sneezing clueless gnome.

Not even a hint!

Nebomosel · Postby **Nebomosel** » Thu Jan 03, 2002 9:50 am

I know exactly what you mean, Snizzle. I have searched far and wide and cannot find the start anywhere. I sometimes wonder if it got pulled for some reason.

I was in a group as Teyaha in Avernus once, i forget for who's ress quest (this was during summer) and ossis and I found a mob in there that we thing is part of the mind blank quest, but still NO IDEA where the hell it starts or what it's going to entail.

for a simble buff spell that is, at the moment, not as useful as say globe or gate/relocate i certainly hope it doesnt require much death and carnage to complete, or some dumbass rare item from a goodie hometown.

moritheil · Postby **moritheil** » Fri Jan 04, 2002 4:15 am

hm, you hope it doesn't require much death to complete? In Avernus? bahahahahaha.

rylan · Postby **rylan** » Fri Jan 04, 2002 12:58 pm

hmm.. yeah, I'd be quite annoyed if its in avernus. Its a 9th circle narrow focus protection spell.. I would expect the quest -shouldn't- be very difficult to do, once you find it.

Nebomosel · Postby **Nebomosel** » Sat Jan 05, 2002 12:24 am

Well, I can't speak for any of the other chanters in the game but I know that I, for one, just won't have Mind Blank if it means going to Avernus for the spell. I'll just stay out of zones with psis.

Lagging a mob in any means possible will stop them from using psionics. Bashing githyanki's will basically outright stop them from using psionics altogether. The *instant* bash lag wears off (that instant right before they stand) they can do it again. So yes they can do it while on the ground, but it's when they're out of being bash lagged. Bash is your best bet for gith. I've been in gith trips where not one mob ultrablasted us or pforced me when I was tanking cause we kept the mobs down.

And besides, squids die really fast in zones if not rescued. :P That's why their skills were upped.

moritheil · Postby **moritheil** » Tue Jan 29, 2002 9:13 pm

Well, what I meant to imply was that if it scales with level, they can downgrade highlevel mobs instead of just downgrading across the board, by changing the level modifiers for 51-59.
