Re: Change/fix Giant Scorpion Resistances
There is room for error. I see your point, so how about this-
-20% Fire
-10% Impact
50% cold
20% Pierce
20% Blade
20% Arcane

Re: Change/fix Giant Scorpion Resistances
Somehow giant arthropods don't strike me as being particularly "normal" or "mundane". Maybe arcane resistance should be lowered a bit? I agree they probably shouldn't be vulnerable to arcane as they're not overtly magical, but still. Scorpions just don't get that big on their own.

Re: Change/fix Giant Scorpion Resistances
On the point of Scorpion balancing, isn't its MP a bit high?

Here yeah. In a fantasy setting, why not? It doesn't have to be a magical reason.TL wrote:Scorpions just don't get that big on their own.
Also, i don't think it needs that much cold resistance. If it must have cold resistance, give it like 20% or 30% at most.
Re: Change/fix Giant Scorpion Resistances
It don´t NEED that much cold resistance, But reallisticaly it SHOULD have that much resistance. If normal scorpion survive freeze why not wesnoth scorpion? I think 50% resistance is perfect. no more, no less.Neoskel wrote:Here yeah. In a fantasy setting, why not?

Yeah, I think that´s very good. But MAYBE I would make lesser arcane resistance. 10% or 0% would be better imo.F8 Binds... wrote:There is room for error. I see your point, so how about this-

The ones living in freezing temperatures are the exception, not the rule. Note the use of the word survive rather than thrive. Just cuz the Echidna lays eggs doesn't mean that all mammals do. 30% should cover it fine.Wikipedia wrote:Scorpions prefer to live in areas where the temperatures range from 20°C to 37°C (68°F to 99°F), but may survive from freezing temperatures to the desert heat.
Re: Change/fix Giant Scorpion Resistances
I didnt mean that scorpions thrive in freezing temperature. I did mean that they can be frozen and survive. Their metabolism is "just" slowed. they arent damaged and after few hours they are defrosted, healthy, and ready to kill .
Re: Change/fix Giant Scorpion Resistances
Yeah, try that with a human. (you could probably do it with mice, but first you'd have to put them in suspended animation (80ppm H2S), then fill their blood with antifreeze , unfortunately, humans don't seem to react the same way, they just die)
Re: Change/fix Giant Scorpion Resistances
Hmmm... An freind of mine wrote a short story in a book calle Polarus, or something like that. It was science fiction. In the book a girl survives in a freezing situation because a certain bioengineer did experiments on her, and she could hibernate through ice like frogs do, so when the detective found a sample of her blood frozen in the ice and anyalysed it, it told him that she had died before the blood had been spilled, and that she had died of hypo-glysimia (to much sugar). This confused the detective allot because she coul not have been dead if she was leaving a trail of blood, and it's not common for a human fleeing for their life to die of hypo-glysimia (he did not know about the genetic engineering which was illegal). *sorry for butchered spellings*
On-topic again it makes realistic sense that scorpians resist cold (desert nights are very cold), gameplay sense depends on the campain they are being used it.
