Damage vs resistance

Post by Prosper » Sun 30.11.2008, 01:17

I tried to search the forum and look on angband.oook.cz and havent found a complete satisfying answer yet and am hoping to get it here.

How EXACTLY is calculated the damage made by monsters tha breathe FIRE, FROST, NETHER, etc..

I already know about

No resistance 100% damage
1 resistance 33% damage (1/3)
2 resistances 11% damage (1/9)

I reada bout mana storm being 600 dam, mana bolt being 300 dam but those are no elemental attacks.

I read about Elemental attacks being based on monsters HP. is it a % of monster current HP ?

But for examble I know GLAURUNG after 1 breath with no resistance reduced my health from 696 to -904 = 1600 dam exactly.

if I had 1 res it would have been 528 dam and 2 res. 176 dam.. am I right ?

Can this thread answer once and for all how its calculated so that I can stop being scared of elemental attacks please ?

I'd like to point out one important error though: 1 resist makes it 33%, not 66%. You got the math wrong. If Galthrung did that much damage with 1 resist, he would really be *dangerous*.
Anything worth being done, is worth being overdone.

Thank you for the comment Schroeder, I have edited to 33%. And note that at that point I was at 4450ft thinking that when (i)examining a piece of equipment and that it said ' Cannot be harmed by fire ' that it was the same as ' Provides resistance to fire '. So I thought I was good with the resistances and all but in the end I was there with NO RES AT ALL to fire thats why I was 1 hit overkilled.

After that episode I have been educated correctly about resitances and by knowing what you have by pressing C in the options.

I am still reading the spoiler and its quite interesting thanks again ZAL.
