Jeez, you scared me there for a second. I was gonna say, you're not meleeing that thing, are you?

Hi, Caaws!

Actually, I killed one in melee with Anabasis...once. Never bothered to try again after that. Those things are ugly.

You actually went toe-to-toe? That's hazardous.. Their last melee is a 100d100 attack so a potential max of 10,000 damage. Still a 5,050 on average, and even then I doubt a high AC can stop you from dying, is it?

Say what?! Holy wow was I just lucky? Hang on...

Well the spoiler at oook sure agrees with you, but my monster memory doesn't seem to. This is what my memory shows on the attacks line: "touch to drain charges, touch to disenchant, touch to reduce all stats, touch to drain mana force." That means I was in fact hit by the touch to drain mana force, right? In which case there's (almost) no way I could have survived. Mistake on oook, super-lucky, or does the damage part of the attack not have to hit to drain mana?

Oooo, or did I see Caaws hit something else and drain mana force? Can it enter the monster memory that way?

Doesn't "drain mana force" only drain your mana? Because white jellies only drain SP when they attack you...at least I've never seen one do actual damage to me. Of course, 100d100 of drain mana pretty much wipes out your SP in a single blow...

That would make a lot more sense than all my other ideas. I did see the Caaws wipe out some high level monsters before I killed it, but my fight took several rounds and I didn't suck up a 5000 dmg attack. I award leafsrock2k a silver star for sensibility. :)

Hm, would make sense. I'll have to test that later (with a wizard savefile! :P)

Hmm, that could be. Do other monsters with a "drain mana" attack do damage with that attack? Plenty of monsters can do it, so it shouldn't be hard to test.

A Caaws can definitely do damage with something, as one helped me killing Thuringwethil and a pack of Elder Vampires, once (good positioning for teh win!).
