tell that to all the poeple i just watched fail to cure that poison over and over and over again in that tourney. im sure they will disagree with you. and im case you've lost your mind, i just wore a full suit of invul in that tourney with a vanq hammer. so.............
in case it wasn't obvious enough..............................
in case it's not obvious enough, this forum is a UO FOREVER FORUM just in case you are lost. who gives a shit about other shards. were not in here to talk about UOR or uoforever now are we. kk thx.
But we are talking about the way T2a duels are supposed to be.
My point is, that if you want change to occur, you will need to bring more facts than you played other T2A shards. Uo.stratics.com from around 1999-2000 will be your best source of data to support yourself. And like I said, keep in mind that many things changed over the course of the T2A period of UO and if you choose a period at the beginning of that era, then there will be items that are different near the end.
Correct, poisoning does not affect hit chance.. nor does it on UOF's T2A ruleset.
These both are also true... and are not active in UOFs T2A ruleset.
These are all false. Magic armor is ALLOWED but runic armor is not. Magic weapons are allowed, runic weapons are not. Poisoned blades are always allowed in T2A.
[/QUOTE]Halygon, I'd like to actually be productive here. Hopefully this will help settle some arguments and contribute to the accuracy of the t2a era.
I do not believe the functionality of the mind blast spell to be accurate for t2a. Below I have posted a link to an archived stratics essay of spell descriptions. The date of the snapshot does fall within the t2a time period.

I also have these which may be helpful.
I can only assume that in your above post, by hit chance, you mean chance to inflict poison. If I am correct, than this is true. The poisoning skill was used for nothing more than applying poison to weapons, food, and drink. No "chance to inflict / defend" bonus mentioned at all.

The fact that in certain UOF, t2a, tournaments participants cannot use cure potions but dp weapons are allowed, is a preference of the individual who created the tournament. Personally, I believe that cure potions should be allowed in duels where dp is allowed. However, this is just my opinion. This is not an accuracy issue.
I would also like to add in something about magic reflect. Forgive me if this is something that has already been taken into consideration. During the t2a era, magic reflection's durability was limited to one single spell, regardless of circle. There was also no limitation to casting frequency. (this statement was also true for reactive armor and protection) I only mention this in hopes that when the t2a lands are opened, reflectl will be used in this fashion once again.
Protection is another spell that needs to be looked at as well. During t2a it provided a temporary increase to AR. It did not allow mages to cast any amount of spells undisturbed. Please refer again to the essay written on the archived stratics page.

I wish to conclude by saying that I am very happy with the experience that UOF provides. I am also, and always was, a huge fan of the t2a era. I am happy to productively discuss, research, or contribute to any effort involving UOF providing a t2a experience to its players.
^^ this.
