100% Immunity: bug or misunderstanding?

I always thought that 100% immunity meant that that particular type of attack couldn't affect me.

But a recent (1.4.6, offline) character got blinded by a Dark surprise attack even though he wore Eye of the Forrest which grants 100% immunity to blindness.

Is there such a thing as blindness resistance penetration?

There is not, but another effect could lower your blindness resistance.
Another option is that it doesn't check immunity, but the code does the check.

There's a debuff called Breach which reduces blind resistance. In addition, a few, rare debuffs may ignore resists. If you know what sort of talent or mob caused it I could tell you.

The talent was Dark surprise, the mob was Argoniel himself (who then continued to slaughter me.)

Code: Select all

			if hit2 and target:canBe("blind") then
				target:setEffect(target.EFF_BLINDED, 4, {apply_power=self:combatPhysicalpower()})
			else
				game.logSeen(self, "%s resists the darkness.", target.name:capitalize())
			end
Looks like that talent should be checking blind resistance. Bit weird, unless you were playing on Insane and the bosses rolled with Breach to drop your resistances.
