If only you could predict when open rolls were more likely to happen...

Heh. I feel your pain. About a month ago I spent over an hour carefully juggling mind lock states over multiple hunting grounds and out of combat tasks to get a greater than my average number of skills at or near mind lock simultaneously without reaching murky. I was really quite proud of myself. I then decided I'd run up from Langenfirth to my usual hang out and drain spot in Theren. But, as I arrived at the gate, one of those fleshreapers(?) did its AoE knockdown/rt ability the instant I walked into the room and the crowded room decided to whomp my arse good and dead. :(

But it doesn't end there... To add injury to insult, I decided to DEPART ITEMS and really quickly run out and get TM at the very least back to ML. However, not two rooms west of the church where I departed to, I was arrested, found guilty because I assume my charisma was tanked from the death effects, and had to pay a fine of 4 plat. All within a couple minutes after dying. Double :(

At least it was just once.

I definitely feel your pain. I went from like, 10 favors to only 3 in just a few days from open rolls. I had 30-34/34 in about 10 different skills and as SOON as I was typing in retreat to leave combat, a very heavy hit blew my chest out.

It kept happening just when my combats were mind locked. I've never hated open rolls this much before.

Happens to me in cave bears of all places. Usually just gives me a mod bleeder and nearly vitality kills me. Of course, then Im stunned on the ground and safe from being hit for a good while. It does seem to happen a lot more of late though.

It might just be my perception but it seems like when I first start hunting i'm evading/defending block or shield a good even mix. by the time i'm done just about every attack is getting through to be absorbed by armor or inflicting damage with no burden changes. It's was usualy forces me to leave because the bleeders start to stack up.

Also, put shear up for the mages. Dosn't fix the open role problem but it will fix the DO killing you problem.

You hear your mental voice echo, Axiarra, are you still around? We had um... an incident on the third floor.

Your mind hears Vermire thinking, "The screaming, angry souls of the damned count as an "incident?""

Could always get a pfe scroll and unleash it, or a pfe rattle thing. Pfe absorbs some of the damage done by the adan'f dinazen olcar. It used to be to the extent where it'd reduce it from doing severe damage to either zero or a dodge. Not sure how effective it is now though.

There have been a few other people mentioning this is various other folders.
