Can you post screenies of the weapon used to hit Vrebel [STRIKE]and of the Mithril Scalemail[/STRIKE]? I'm vaguely recollecting piercing greatswords...
I have a theory that certain weapons, including creature weapons do both slashing and peircing damage...even though it says that the weapon only does slashing i.e. tralek's greatsword. If thats the case, as in a maybe a halberd that does both slashing and peircing...you would need to have both peircing and slashing resistance on at the same time to get consistant damage resistance. If you have a higher slashing resistance than the peircing resistance, as in my case, the game goes with the lesser resistance.This is why I wasnt getting any resistance to the greatsword when I took off the piercing resistance belt.
- The following weapons have had their WeaponType changed to 3 (Slashing) in the BASEITEMS.2DA in order to bring them inline with 3rd edition D&D rules (and their NWN in game descriptions): Longsword, Bastard sword, Greatsword, Katana, and Double Axe.
The armor seems to work inconsistently against creatures. In the haven mines against the gnolls I get the full -10 slashing resistance. But against other monsters with slashing weapons I only get -5 resistance.I have a theory that certain weapons, including creature weapons do both slashing and peircing damage...even though it says that the weapon only does slashing i.e. tralek's greatsword.

However, I think that the damage resistance is taken from the slashing part of the resistance. The game just halves the -10 to -5 like the piercing. That is why you dont see the peircing immunity come into play on the log. The peircing resistance gear has to be worn at the same time as the slashing gear to get the benefit from a slashing/peircing weapon but the game engine is using the slashing resistance as mentioned above.
