War Spells



Asked: 2001.03.28
Name: Sha-Zo
Question Title: War Spells
Category: Combat
Question: On a Q about War spells and where they hit you said they bypass armor. I don't understand this answer. If armor plays no part then why do you have protection factors listed for each piece of armor?

Answer: Armor protects against physical attacks, such as swords, claws, and breath attacks. Physical attacks come in many forms, and different pieces of armor have different protections against the various attack types.

War magic bypasses armor. (Thus, Item Enchantment spells and the Armor Self spell don't protect you from war magic.)
