Spell damage in town
Mage spell damage, and wands don't do direct damage in town. Why does tamed creatures with firebreathing allowed to do direct damage in town?
Re: Spell damage in town
Among other spells they cast.

Fire breathing isn't magic.

Re: Spell damage in town
People could argue that fire breath isn't a spell and have a valid point. However, I have a feeling it would fall under the same technicality of no magic in town. If I'm not mistaken I also recall that purple pots do damage in town on here. Magic and purple pots do no harm in town on the demo. This is a valid suggestion that also needs to be looked into considering this factor.
I will try to test this theory on the UO Demo when I get the chance. It probably won't be possible but I may manage to lure the dragon to town on there some how. With some luck it may very well be possible to see if this theory is true.

Re: Spell damage in town
Fire breath is just another way of saying fireball, as a GM told me yesterday, and you will also notice this on items :p

Re: Spell damage in town
The fireball on items is the same as the fireball spell. The fireball that dragons shoot aka fire breath isn't the same. It is an ability that doesn't take any mana/charges that happens while in combat based on a static timer. I still have a feeling that it is highly possible that it does no damage in town.

Re: Spell damage in town
Ey? Sorry if you took me saying Fire Breathing isn't magic as me saying they don't cast magic. Guess if a giant serp manages to bite you and poison you in town it shouldn't do any damage either? lol Both are pet abilities. Dragon's while they do cast magic also "Breath" Fire.Marcus_ wrote:So, it's melee? Lol.

I didn't think it was that difficult to figure out. Now as for them not being able to do damage in town. Guess we'll have to wait for Faust.

Re: Spell damage in town
The problem with the dragon on the Demo is that it is sticky to it's location. The only possible solution to try to get around this that I can come up with is either one herding, two taming, or three enticement. The problem here is that herding is based on taming during this era. This means you can't herd a dragon unless you can also tame it... I don't believe herding or enticement will work and it's a long shot if taming will work. We can hope though...
Re: Spell damage in town
Dragons, like hell hounds have a "breath weapon"; Dragons cast spells too, hell hounds to not. In both cases the breath weapons requires no mana and cannot be resisted, and also the damage is tied to their hit points.Marcus_ wrote:So, it's melee? Lol. I guess they have a mana base for no reason?

The explosion potion's damage in towns is reduced.
Only patch notes from 97-99 that mentions anything about Explosion Potions damage in towns.

Re: Spell damage in town
Explosion Potions definitely did damage in towns. Anyone that played atlantic and wasn't just starting during this time should remember the "Llama Bombs" that people would set off in town, which would take out half of brit bank.
Re: Spell damage in town
Explosion potions setting off other explosion potions was fixed in mid '98... The explosion potions deal no damage in town on the demo.
Re: Spell damage in town
the demo was released when T2A came out [no exp pot damage on it according to what you've seen on it], but during t2a they definitely did damage, even if it was only for a small time which leads to the answer that for this, we can't trust the demo.
Re: Spell damage in town
Didn't the llama bomb only work based off of explosion potions detonating other explosion potions which was fixed in mid '98?
