I guess it's because I'm posting from my camera roll on my iPad? They don't run in the photos app either, but the run in messages if you send them to someone. I swear it was a gif. http://i.imgur.com/RHlhXwi.gif But now I click "save image" and upload it, and it's a JPEG: Wtf?

Hey guys, about my Half-Orc Kensai, I just thought of something...
I rolled a 93 and went with 19, 18, 19, 11, 8, 18. I figured I would get 3 tomes bringing my Wisdom up to 11, a tome to bring my int up to 12 (+ pot of genius = 16 for mind flayers), and I would sacrifice a wisdom point in spellhold bringing it back down to 10.
I thought these stats were all that I really needed, or else I would have spent more time rolling. But then I hear from someone on the internet that Wisdom affects Magic Defense - I was almost certain they were wrong, so I checked, and sure enough, THE MANUAL STATES IT - "Mag Def Adj". It affects saving throws that attack the mind (which is huge). Penalties start at 7, and bonuses start at 15 and stop at 18 (+4).
Would it be worth shooting for higher wisdom with a fighter so I can get a +2 on my Magic Defense Adjustment?
@Stormvessel I think the manual is lying. There are actually many errors in the manual and I assume this would be one of them. I don't think wisdom affects your saving throws.
@Stormvessel All wisdom does for non-clerics/druids is boost lore. That's it. In P&P it probably has a whole slew of effects, but it doesn't in the game. Nice work on your kensai, btw. That's a strong character right there.
Would having 100% physical and magical resistance make you essentially invulnerable, and is there a way to do this? Not necessarily all the time, but whenever you're in a hard fight.
Hmm, now that's a good question. I wonder if it works at all like thac0, whereas you can have a thac0 of 100 (not possible, but still) and they could have an AC of -100, yet if you roll a crit there's a guaranteed hit. Perhaps something like that is true for resistance, as well.
Tell you what you can do, Elrandir. Go to EEkeeper and edit a character w/ 100 resistance across the board, and then console in some beholders and sword spiders, take a 30 minute break, and when you come back if your character is still standing you will have your answer .
Edit: Using the console that way might not work. Later I will try it when I get deep beneath Durlag's Tower. I will EEkeeper my character and go start a fight with you know who. I will get back to you to let you know.

Some spells bypass MR but other than that you would be immune to most things. I am not sure if there is a reliable way to get this... Anyone can get 100% MR fairly easily with 2 potions of magic protection. It is much harder to get 100% physical damage resistance...

Don't use the BG1 or BG2 original manuals. They suck.
(I could have put that more delicately I suppose but there are far too many cases of them just copying text from PnP that isn't applicable in the game)
In the topic linked before, there is a guy saying that a charname greater werewolf is immune to non silver weapons. I never saw silver weapons, but I guess he is probably referring to the fact that you need a weapon with an enchantment comparable to the one you use to beat the greater werewolf in the isle of balduran?

Sorry which topic link?
it seems I posted in the wrong thread. I apologize.
Well, antoher question will do, I guess. Am I wrong, or the higher your reputation is, the higher the blow on your reputation is if you commit an evil act?
You are correct.

Could you get magic immunity like kangaxx or a rakshasa where it just says "spell ineffective"?

That's te effect opcode 'protection from spell level' or 'protection from spell' or 'protection from spell school/type' not from the MR.

I know it's not MR. I didn't know the name so I said magic immunity.
You could just give yourself an item (made in Near Infinity) that gives you immunity to every spell level, though that won't protect you against every spell/ability.

All the spells/abilities in BG have their levels from 0 to 10. Not sure about mods. So it should be blocking everything, besides that when the byte where the spell level information goes is treated as a 0 when empty.

Edit: I am also interested in finding out the answer to Elrandir's question.
