Q about Wizard S.

Aside from the MR you gain for playing Wizard Slayer, his abilities states that each successful hit applies a cumulative 10% magical failure or something like that.

So I wonder if anyone actually knows how this ability works. If I hit a mage with 10 hits, will he be unable to ever cast a spell again? Is it temporary, like time limited, or does it stay? And does a successful hit means punching through 10 damage of the FoA though his stone skin or must it be a "clean" hit, so to speak?

Not too sure, so I'll just go on my thoughts...

A clean hit is when you roll enough to overcome any armour (AC).

As such, a little bit of damage would show this, as was 'enemy is immune to this kind of damage' as both mean you hit.

I think it would mean 10 successful hits would make 100% failure, though perhaps it is only for a few rounds/turns... as I say, I'm not sure.

Hmpf

A 10% chance of failing means that each hit, if you roll a dice with ten sides with different numbers is and the getting one perticular number is the chance of interupting the spell

1:10 of making the wizard fail the next spell.... it is not commultive

What Punkkat said, it isn't a cumulative effect or a condition incurred upon the mage in which there's a temp. or perm. chance of him failing a spell every time he tries to cast. Every time you hit the mage there's a one in ten chance his next spell will fail: that's it.

As per GameBanshee Site:
[quote="GameBanshee]- Spell disruption (each hit results in +10% [cumulative] chance of spell failure) [/quote]
[url="]Here[/url]

It seems to say there that the 10% is cummulative...

Huh. :confused:

That makes absolutely no sense to me. Lemme see what it says in the actual game here...

The game says cumulative, that why I said it. And if that's the case, it's not half as good as I thought it would be. No one who have actually played any and can tell out of experience? That was kind of what I was looking for. Thanks for the answers so far!

My answer will also not be completely what you are looking for, but still...Particularly, since I dislike Slayers (I am more for Iron Maiden :D )

Even if it is cumulative, adding 10% to previously 10% does not mean that with 10 successful hits opponent will be unable to cast magic. (10% of 100 is 90, additional 10% is than calculated from 90, that is 81, I guess).
