• [hackem] Fire damage doesn't have an effect on a monster vulnerable to

    From Janis Papanagnou@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 27 18:02:44 2023
    I am wearing armor that has a passive fire counter-attack, and in
    Vlad's tower I saw this monster that is vulnerable to fire:

    Status of the shadow ogre (male, chaotic): Level 15 HP 101(101)
    AC -2, vulnerable to fire.

    The shadow ogre touches you! The shadow ogre is suddenly on fire!
    Your armor does not appear to affect the shadow ogre

    How is that (ineffectivity-)message to be interpreted here?

    There are several monsters in EvilHack that do this. There are several weaknesses (just elemental?) that do not work. I think it _may_ be longstanding bug that is yet to be figured out?

    I have to correct myself; the passive fire counter-attack stems from
    the Candle of Eternal Flame that I am carrying. (Not sure the actual
    source of that passive counter-attack matters.)

    Maybe this meant that another armor property was ineffective, maybe
    that of the deep dragon scaled armor? - Is there a passive draining
    effect of that type of armor armor?

    (Anyway that message could have been made more informative, like
    "Your armor's <property> does not appear to affect the <monster>.")

    I don't know.
