LAst night my two comrads Sasha and Brandin both succumb to a Weird by the Drow Wiz in the troll dungeon on Dragon Isles.
The odd thing is they both had lesser mind blank cast from my character Alandric. Does this not negate the effects of weird? Mind Blank has worked for everything else thus far.
Additionally even with Shadow Shield (protections from necromancy spells and neg effects) I was suffereing from strength damage in the Storan Crypts from the Shadows. THis never used to happen a long time ago.
Secondly I also suffered from a Horrid Wilting from the same Drow Wizard above. Is this a bug?
Cheers,

As Pibemanden already have stated, you need to beat the first save of the weird, or the second, to avoid being killed by it. So you basicly have two chances. Alternatively you need to have true sight up, which negates the spell entirely.
Also shadowshield, does NOT have negative energy protection, so suffering penalties like str, con and so on will have an effect on your character even with shadowshield up.
And lastly with the horridwiltering that you took damage from, all I can see if that the spell wore off. Since Shadow shield have immunity to necromantic spells, the spell will and should not have effected you.
