Fun with Cloaks

Post by Nighthawk »

Not very useful, but fun anyway.

Equip one character with the Cloak of Mirroring and another with the Cloak of Reflection. Fire a lightning bolt from one at the other...making sure the rest of your characters are well out of the way.

They will now contiually 'reflect' lightning back at eachother. Since the bolts will actually continue past them, this creates a "lightning bolt cannon" which fires about once a round. If you put more bolts into the circuit it will fire more often. The bolts will also travel a good way off the screen.

Adjust the positions of the characters until the bolts fly off the screen into your target. Even if you can't see it, you'll see it taking damage or making resistance in the text window.

Also, the reflection range is apparently infinite. I had bolts flying from one end of Saughain City to the other and they even seemed to ignore obstacles although they would damage creatures they passed through.

Warning -- occasionally the character with the Cloak of Mirroring will get hit. Also, to stop the cycle one of the characters needs to remove his cloak and will get hit.

So far the only use I can think of on off the screen dragons or other large targets that hold still.

I had a fire arrow shot in between my two front blokes who both had cloak of magical mirroring on and it was bouncing in between them for nearly half an hour, during the time the reflection animation was going it was getting me rather wooried so i took off my lead guys cloak and all of a sudden he was hit with 18 damage from a flame arrow this has to be some form of record.
I'd have to get drunk every night and talk about virility...And those Pink elephants I'd see.
