Undeads and Zigur

[Mankeli]

I can't find Zigur when playing undeads, right?

Thought about playing a skeleton mindslayer for ultimate shielding (bone armour + mindslayer shields) but I don't think I'll go that route if psi-blades are not quaranteed for undeads.

Undeads are inherently magic characters and thus cannot be antimagic.
I also think that they cannot gain any wild gift talents and thus will not have psiblade.

[Mankeli]

Too bad.

Well, it was a fun idea while it lasted

To expand on ghostbuster's answer:
Undead start with runes inscribed on them. Runes count as spells. Any character with a spell cannot find Zigur. Thus Undead, Shaloren, anyone else with a rune, and magical classes all cannot find Zigur.

It just checks whether you're undead or have an arcane resource pool when you first enter the world map.

Code: Select all

if not game.player:knowTalent(game.player.T_MANA_POOL) and not game.player:knowTalent(game.player.T_VIM_POOL) and not game.player:knowTalent(game.player.T_VIM_POOL) and not game.player:knowTalent(game.player.T_NEGATIVE_POOL) and not game.player:knowTalent(game.player.T_POSITIVE_POOL) and not game.player:knowTalent(game.player.T_PARADOX_POOL) and not game.player:attr("undead") then defineTile('zigur', "TOWN_ZIGUR") else quickEntity('zigur', ')') end

Wasn't aware that runes count too, thanks.

[stinkstink]

They don't. Having runes will prevent you from betraying escorts to Zigur, but not from going there.

[Mewtarthio]

The same thing's true for Shaloren racials, by the way. The rule is that if you have any spells (include runes and Shalore racials) when you meet an escort, you can't betray them, while if you have any arcane resource bar when you first enter the world map, you can't get to Zigur. And undeath locks you out of everything remotely related to antimagic.

Ok, thanks!
