herbs of rage & fear?

wobbly · March 4, 2014, 00:58

Just trying to clarify something with herbs of rage. The change log for version 1.2.0 says:

- herbs of rage
- now make you completely immune to fear
- previously it was just resistance, but the possibility of frightened rage was silly

However wands of self knowledge tell me I have fear resistance (+10 to check). Is it actually working as intended?

Working as intended. It also removes existing fear status, which is useful for turning herbs of terror into improvised quickness potions in the earlygame.

I believe his point is that the Wand of Self Knowledge prints information that is inconsistent with the patch notes. It shouldn't say "+10 to check" if in fact you are totally immune.

Thanks Derakon, that's pretty much what I mean.

I'm not sure if
a. at +10 I'll automatically succeed in any fear checks anyway.
or
b. Staff of self knowledge isn't displaying the correct information
or
c. It was meant to change but isn't working properly.

I'm pretty sure it is (b). Thanks for pointing it out.
