A puzzle
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2013 5:34 pm
Here's a weird puzzle for everyone here.
I just got one-shot. I have found out how, by looking at the log. I just can't figure out how. Here's the situation.
http://www.te4.org/characters/10195/tom ... ecd42b030f
This character was wandering around a corner, when an Elven Mage proceeded to one-shot it.
Now, Ghoul, even wearing Flowing Current, can have that happen, so I wasn't particularly shocked, and started to write it off. But I got curious when the damage didn't add up to a kill, and looked in the log.
Apparently, with the current Daze handling that doesn't rob you of turns, mind, I was dazed and hit by three Earthen Missiles. So that's not...too weird, I guess. It can happen.
What's even more puzzling is that, while I can't find the Elven Mage's stats afterwards, an Elven Mage would need to be L25+ to actually have L5 Earthen Missiles. Which is required to hit three times.
L26, to be exact(base level is 2). Enemies in Rhaloren Camp were L15~; While I didn't get to look at the enemy's stats, I don't see how an enemy can out of depth 10 levels over normal, unless their base level is that far over the average level for the dungeon.
So which part am I wrong on? Can enemies use Earthen Missiles extra bullet faster than a player can? Can enemies jump 10 levels without it being an out of depth that has hit there level minimum? Or is there another factor in skill construction that I'm missing?
