also, I noticed some creatures are using a bolt ( no save) level drain negative energy attack ( at least I think it's a bolt, it might just be a spell??? )
anyways, there are only two spells capable of negating level drain -
Shadowshield ( by scroll for 7 turns ) , and of course Negative energy protection ( cleric only ) ... not sure how long that last by scroll or casting ...
There is no negative immunities for effects via forge , ... and I was wondering exactly what good protection from evil does, if it doesn't block negative energy attacks when active ( In second edition, the spell did just that ) , in fact when it's active , I don't see any real effects it does do on the character sheet.
Was that changed at some point? Or is it one of those , you just can't see what it does?
Back on the level drains ... it's not so bad if you are carrying greater restore scrolls i had a few I used for Jess , I have no idea if regular restoration works on that , but I do know lesser restore does not work for that spell. Neither did remove curse ... ( Took me a while to figure out what was causing the drain ) ...
The only drawback to that is, there are no greater restores you can buy ... , you either have to be a cleric of some sort , or get lucky and accumulate them from drops. I don't think I have ever found one in a chest ... only from remans drops here and there and Jess has had that small collection from day one ...
Anyways, I used them up , and got almost to the end, when NWN suddenly crashed on me again ... so now, I have to redo the area , and have no greater restores left ...
Hopefully restore works , I could only attain one shadowshield scroll from the magic shop to use.
