Undead Slayer

'Repel' needs to have its effect finalized. When FH first began, the answer I got from the NPCs about it was along the lines of 'We're not really sure right now. But when you call it we'll improvise something.'

Well, often when I call 'Repel', I just get a blank look from NPCs as they ask ME 'what does that do?'

So I really need to know.

What I suggest is this:
Destroys low-level undead just as a Banish.
Causes a Fear effect against mid-level undead.
No effect against high-level undead.

I'd say it should be like a press against high level undead.

You have to hit them with a packet or sword. I'd personally much rather see it
as a fear effect undead can not resist.

[WayneO42]

It will work as an old school fear effect for undead. (Ie they will run away..or shamble away...maybe crawl away....or fly away even...sometimes they might burrow away...or.....anyways, you get the point)

[DarKarath]

I agree with Travis, i do think it should be something that undead cannot resist, but only against lower levels...i dont think me (a 4th level character) should be able to turn a major undead baddie away with repel. but im just a warrior...so i just try and kill it anyway.

Well, I'm content with that answer honestly. We can tell them to run away now.

[WayneO42]

High level undead will be immune to repel.

[Dallid]

My understanding is Repel can't be packet thrown. Is this true?

[WayneO42]

Repel undead Skill as it is in the book states:

Level 2: Repel Undead
You can repel undead by not attacking and walking boldly forth. You can repel certain undead by hitting them with a packet or sword. This skill costs a life point and you must yell “Repel” when using this skill. This may not affect higher-level undead creatures.

[cole45]

SO it actually has to be a sword or packet? It couldn't be an axe?

Any reason for that given the Weapon Focus of headed at rank 4?

[Peace420]

sword should say weapon.
