The part with the door is Section 214 in Castle Death. The "combat" in question is Lone Wolf trying to lift the heavy iron door. Nexus applies because the telekinesis it gives effectively increases the amount of "lifting power" that Lone Wolf has. Neither Psi-surge nor Mindblast should apply because the door doesn't have a mind to attack. Whatever quasi-physical force Psi-surge has wouldn't help in this case. It worked for the door in The Kingdoms of Terror because that was a matter of blasting/scouring away dirt that was jamming the door shut. There's nothing like that here. The door is just really, really heavy. So, Nexus will help you but neither Psi-surge no Mindblast will. And, honestly, neither should a Shield, since Shield's can't ward off gravity. The Silver Helmet probably should help you, due to its magical nature, as should potions/berries of Alether, since they specifically enhance your strength. > Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 11:35:09 -0500 > From: krefetz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: projectaon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > CC: ch.honza@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [projectaon] Re: Editor's Companion Submission > > No, this is in Castle Death, but based on the door in Kingdoms of Terror > (sect 259), I think it would be reasonable to say that Psi-Surge is > effective here, but only if you don't have Nexus. > > Ben > > On Thu, 2 Dec 2010, John TFS wrote: > > > > > If this is the door from The Kingdoms of Terror, it should be immune to > > Mindblast only, since if you have either Psi-surge or Nexus, you can clean > > the dirt away and raise it without a fight. > > > >> From: pamail.cgi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >> To: projectaon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >> CC: ch.honza@xxxxxxxxxx > >> Subject: [projectaon] Editor's Companion Submission > >> Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 03:49:16 -0800 > >> > >> The following was sent from the Editor's Companion form > >> From: Jan Charvát <ch.honza@xxxxxxxxxx> > >> Date: 11:49:16 on Thursday, December 2, 2010 > >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > >> > >> (ft) 07cd 214: [jc: Tunnel Door should be immune for Mindblast and > >> Psi-surge, as you are not attacking it, only trying to raise it off (and, > >> apparently, the Discipline of Nexus could help you).] > >> > >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > >> > >> ~~~~~~ > >> Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon > >> > >> > >
