Killing blow strange behaviour

Postby captainbob on Mon Nov 11, 2013 11:30 am

Hi guys,
first and foremost, thank you QCFDesign for this wonderful game!

I'm still learning how to play the game but there's a particular behaviour I still dont understand. Sometime during the killing blow turn, I kill my ennemy but take 0 damage from him, while I havent first strike and the monster isnt slowed. Could someone be kind enough to explain me why this happens?
Thx.
Example here:

Players always strike first against lower level enemies. Unless that enemy has first strike as an attribute.

Here's how it works:

First Strike always goes first
Slow always goes last
If neither of the above are in play, then the higher level creature goes first
Monsters win all ties. Among other things, this means that monster first strike defeats player first strike, and player slow is more severe than monster slow.

doesn't weytwut still confer the bonus xp for killing a slowed oponnent when you are slowed. 1xp is not always insignificant and can be worth the mp difference. Not to mention its other utilitarian uses. Getindare is a always just a free killing fit, if you are slowed and getindare doesn't neutralize it then it becomes completely useless when slowed.

You are correct, but GETINDARE also provides stacking dodge and costs a fraction of WEYTWUT. Overall, GETINDARE is the better glyph 90% of the time, but not by that much.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.
