Understanding brainlocked (specific situation)

[guy]

I read on the wiki that brainlocked (and similar effects) should occur when the attacker's Mindpower is in a higher tier than the defender's mental saves.
So I just fought "Nerybeth the drem" and first thing I got hit by his Warshout. This confused me for 8 turns (even though in the description it said 7 reduced by 0) and brainlocked me for 2 turns. Now his Mindpower was 11 and my mental save was 21. Why did I get brainlocked there? Because from reading the wiki it doesn't make sense to me, isn't my save in a higher tier?

Am I looking at the wrong stats, did I misunderstand the wiki explanation or are there additional factors?
Also I was blocking at that moment in time if that matters in any way.

From what I understand from the code:

Code: Select all

power_check=function() return self:combatPhysicalpower() end,
resist_check=self.combatPhysicalResist,

Warshout attacks with Physical Power (against Physical Save?) to cause a Mental effect. The Power and the Save used are what counts with regards to Brainlock.

I hope I'm not totally wrong here.

Thanks that might be a possibility. Is there a way to see an enemy's physical power? Can't find it right now, or is damage used for that value?. Only thing I know is I had 41 physical save at that point.

mouse over the enemy, and check with all other saves and powers.
(powers are on the right side i believe)
also, you can right-click and "inspect creature"
