So, yeah... Corrosive Salt Guard....

[phalaeo]

Isn't it not supposed to work against Undead because it is a dehydration effect?

*shrug* Does it say that somewhere? I was unaware it was a.....Dehydration Effect(tm)

I was always under the impression that corrosive salt was an untyped damage. Like disintegrate.

In game it is classified as untyped. Therefore it strikes everything. In its descriptor, it comments on drawing water out of the target. The guard is supposed simulate the effect of salt exposure on the target.

Me too.

The actual description states: "This item stores a caustic, insatiable power deep within. When the wearer of this item is successfully attacked in melee, this power can come to the surface in the form on a noxious, corrosive salt that dissolves all substances."

Oh hush, you! Smart alec.....

When I was first talking to people in game about guards, they vehemently stated that it doesn't work against undead. Guess they were wrong and it is untyped.

*double shrug*

IIRC that one is dehydration damage
