what are rakshasa?

[Falonthas]

and why cant they take damage like anything else

[Krell Himmler]

Rakshasa are magical tigermen styled things, they're immune to all spells 1-8th circle. They're an "outsider" and something of a noble tigerman......they're sposed to die instantly from any blessed crossbow, not sure how that translates into NWN though.

Generally their AC isn't too high and neither are their HP so with summons as a mage you can kill them relatively easily *shrugs*. Fighter types shouldn't have too hard a time either and for a cleric it should be a walk in the park.

[Falonthas]

noble tigermen that are immune to flaming cheetah paws it seems too

ive got screenies where they cut into me without wiping out my stoneskin

so they are far from a walk in the park

[Krell Himmler]

iirc you are level 12, so your stoneskin would be 5/+2 which isn't too hard to breach *shrugs* I guess they're just equipped with magical weapons. I daresay they are modified in Layo, not sure on if their level 1-8 immunity would mechanically effect the flame weapon/darkfire, but I think they have DR too, if that's the case the cheetah may not be the best bet, adamantium something would help you a lot there.

How big are the spawns? Mind you wouldn't be a good idea to solo those things until you're approaching 20 at least.

Clerics can cast the Bless spell directly upon a set of crossbow bolts and they will get the temporary On Hit Slay Rakshasa property.  The creatures mechanically just have to have the Rakshasa appearance.  No save, you just have to hit.  Very effective and lots of fun.  This came in very handy for me once on a quest.

[Falonthas]

three of them and my flame paws are from merging not spells

are these more then meets the eye rakshasa?

when they cut me almost in half i snuck away and healed and stoneskined and bulls and cats boosted then elemental shield and shifted when i looked at them they said easy

boy does my cheetah have a different definition then those things do

and my stoneskin was still in place after they wiped me back bleeding to death

[Krell Himmler]

Remember only stops the first 5dmg and from +1 or less....

[Falonthas]

so they have at least +2 blades to hit me without touching the stone

[darkstorme]

Rakshasa usually carry very good weapons, in D&D.  No reason for Layonaran Rakshasa to not have the same oomph.

[ShiffDrgnhrt]

Want me to handle them for you Khuren

[lonnarin]

They also have creepy hands where the fingers bend the opposite direction.  Shaking their hand is always awkward because you instinctively extend the left hand for their right and mess things up.

[Falonthas]

i just know to avoid them for a while longer since they popped up out of nowhere
