NPC frozen despite 100% cold resistance

#1 Post by greycat »

I hit a polar bear (with 100% cold resistance) with an icy weapon, and it was frozen:

Code: Select all

Colin hits polar bear for 133.50 physical damage.
Colin hits polar bear for 0.00 cold damage.
Polar bear is frozen!

freeze checks for "stun immunity" not "cold resistance".

I believe the imagery is previously given is that Freezing is being encased in ice, so cold resistance can remove the damage but not the effect. If that is the case maybe the status message should be changed from "X is frozen!" to "X is encased in ice!"
<DarkGod> lets say it's intended
