I've been FTS by an elemental!!!! AAAGHHHH :(

[bandyman1]

I saw it happen somewhere once. In the Vale I think.

And it was mentioned in Mod 7 release notes I believe.

I think only the super duper elder earth ellies can do it, and it is supposed to work on WF (according to the devs, but I think they are wrong and should change it)

The release notes mentioned renaming it to something other then FtS to not confuse WF who are immune to FtS.

Cheap if you ask me.

Why would you say that? It's a petrify attack. War-forged are made of metal, stone, and livewood. Wood can be petrified as easily as flesh.

Why would you say that?

Probably because people with little experience with Eberron lore assume warforged are like sentient golems, which is not the case.

As much as I like to call them it, "robots" are definitely not the word to describe a warforged.

Then why do they dance like robots?

To confuse the flesh folks.

Then why do the female flesh folk hide us in a box under the bed until their male flesh folk leave?

Uhmm.....
Well....it's because it cheapens an immunity if there is no reson to have it.

We have no medusa'a in DDO.

I don't think we currently have any enemy casters that even try to use FtS.

And then they come up with this new power and decide that they want it to work on WF, so they rename it something else just so it will work on WF and call it justified.

Currently Prot frm Evil is 99% worthless in DDO, becaues it does not work on anything used in this game (the mental immunity part).

The See Invisibility spell is even more useless. Everything just hides in plain sight and does not use invisibility.

Why have a spell, when nothing is Invisible? it doesn't even work on Invisible Stalkers if I remember right.

So they just ight as well remove the WF immunity since it serves no purpose in this game.

IMO.

I mail ordered a female WF.......imagine my surprise when I unwrapped it! ..........................................




jk.
Really.

Beholders
Elder Beholders
Patrick the Maniacle (Foundation of Discord)
Aspect of Cunning (Offering of Blood)

Those are the only ones I currently have logged, but there should be more lurking around.

Earth Elemental Petrification has been around since Module 3, in case you might like the history of when it came to be (Maruad the Mines, Elder Earth Elemental).

I can at least attest that True Seeing will make an Invisible Stalker visible. Also, it is partly humorous that the drow casters in Searing Heights do cast invisibility as an opening spell.

Doh!
Shows how much I pay attention.

I just didn't remember being turned to stone more than a couple times until Mod 6.
Knew about elder beholders though.......
First time being turned to stoned was in Invaders.
I had 10 neg lvls, Cursed, turned to Stone and telekinesed til my nose was in a corner........the group finished the quest, looted the chest.....and I was really worried that this was a permanent condition.....

One of the few times I've begged for help in DDO.

Yet another reason Warforged "do the robot". To taunt the flesh folks.

There needs to be a "Point and laugh" emote.

[totmacher]

you all must bow down before your warforged masters

die fleshlings die

[dragonruler]

ok i may be wrong about this but..the "fts" aka petrification effect that the earth eles and stone scorps do sounds like it would be a will save but thats just me. i mean think about the word "petrify" to become immobile cause of fear....isn't the spell cause fear a will save so therefore making pretrification a will save effect. like i said i could be wrong but thats what i think. if you could kick check your will save im sure yours is high but thats the only thing i can come up with that sounds reasonable.

[Allice]

Yup eles do that sometimes. Waiting for fire elementals to get flesh to fire so i can see the human torch =P

[Atax]

Elder elementals hit you with Petrify rarely, not flesh to stone. This accounts for why it affects warforged.

That's already been covered.

Naw bro. It's not being " paralyzed with fear ", it's actually a natural process in which organic matter ( in this case wood ) is replaced by minerals.
Like what happens to dinosaur bones after millions of years. Fossils aren't actually bones anymore. They are rocks that have the shape of the bones that formed them.

[dragonruler]

lol so in other words its an ageifier :P it fossilizes you hehe....

[Turial]

I've had this happen to me before and the part that was confusing is that I was a Warforged.

*Shrugs*

By the way, do you know if your reflex save was 10 at the time? I think that may have been the save that was used.

I guess the ability is now called petrification rather then flesh to stone to keep down on forged confusion. Seems a bit weak.

[transtemporal]

There are few things as funny as seeing a WF petrified or stunned by a rustie.

Wheres your big tough immunities now punk?!!
