[QUOTE="Demon Knight, post: 958696, member: 10115"] Ways to counter Color Spray I'm just curious, since I am playing in a 1st level arena. Color Spray is a nasty spell (and I'm sure ome of you would agree), and being a dumb fighter doesnt help me in the least. So I was thinking of ways to combat this, and I came up with some ideas. Unfortunately, I wasnt sure if they were legal, so I decided to bring it up here before getting myself in trouble in the middle of a fight. Since Color Spray is a Pattern spell, it relies on your target actually seeing the spell right? So, could I turn my back on my opponent and treat him as an invisible opponent, closing my eyes to avoid the spell's Patterns? I've seen people go this against Gaze attacks, and I wonder if this could also be used for Color Spray. Now, dont accuse me of metagaming, please. IC, I have seen some of the mages use Color Spray, so I know which ones cast it often. I am willing to take the risk of closing my eyes to a mage, as it's much better then being knocked out. On a different note, assuming closing my eyes DOES help against Color Spray, can I open my eyes at the beginning of my action, move, attack, then close my eyes before my opponent's action? ---------------------------------------- Kneeling On a completely separate note, which should probably be in a different thread, but Im lazy, and dont want to clutter the boards up with a lot of posts. What kind of action is it to kneel down to gain the +2 AC vs ranged attacks? When can it be done, and how often? Do I get a penalty to my attacks when kneeling? [/QUOTE]
