I believe enemy has to make a saving throw vs. spells...
Or is it death? Not quite sure, but the save must have to be with some kind of penalty because it works most of the time.

I killed Tazok as well as Firkraag with it.

Can anyone validate this? I'm curious to know what the saving throw actually is...

quiversing palm, a ability I dont like at all, cause it requires save vs death. I dislike most of the high level abilites for fighters, except hardiness and whirwind. neither are resisted or saved.

stunning blow requires save vs stun, but also has save. besides, the 9th elvel spell symbol stun is area effect, penalty to save and ring of free action wil totally protect you.

quivering palm can be made much better by lowering resistince and malisoning and dooming the victim. but really, if you sprayed a blue circle dragon, with 9 or ssso lower resist, you can kill it with abu dahzim, by same meage, or if you really want to stomp on it, you can SUBSTITUTE the monk with vorpal blade. the vorpal effect is also save vs death, do minsc with vorpal blade and some lower resist is agood monk substitute. also, jan can duplicate the magic resist with use any item ability..


my kensai deathbringer sorc beholder, has use any item, robe of vecna amulet of powre and ring of gaxx. with holy avenger I will get, after hell and watchers, 90% magic resist!! confirmed.

whack a dragon with greater malison, and hit with ravager, ravager vorpal effect is also save vs death, but its not stopped by magic resist, like I think palm is stopped.


also, use any item is BETTER than a monk, since the movement rate increase is innate, ring of free action will disable it. but boots of speed and ring of free action?

after game loads, unequpp ring, re equipp boots and equipp ring. you are free and hasted!!!


that ring is so important for any warrior, it and helm of charms will protect you totally against mind flayers except the int drain.

has not really to do with quiv palm itself, but...

what does it depend upon which abilities u have? when i started my monk, he had several things, those level/HP drain, holy might and such. now i realized, he lost many of them, all that is left is lay on hands, stunning blow and quiv palm (and now, slayer).

the only thing i could think of is that its cuz of the intelligence i gave in the dream (only 7 now), but i dont think any other changes happened. is that the reason? or otherwise, how can i get them back?
