succubus AC bugged?

[Mike]

I ran into a succubus in a house in the bottom left corner of the city in chapter 1.

The AC kept going up for no apparent reason. I saw it was invis so I kept glitter dust on it and it still had 29 AC and all my attacks were missing. It had fire resistance so and DR 10 so even when I did hit it I wasn't doing much.

Not all my characters can use cold iron weapons yet. Hopefully I get a cold iron axe and dagger and bow soon. I mostly just found swords and I don't have a sword user.

There is a certain talking weapon nearby that can turn into any type of weapon while being +1 cold iron and ghost touch.

Inspect her, she is way over your level. ^^

Yea like everything else they are forcing us to fight she's buffed buffed out the wazoo for no apparent reason. I can only assume she has some magical buffs? but they were not displaying--- succubus are only suppose to have a 20 AC as per the monsters manual sooo i dunno what was going on here.

Best answer? smite evil... it gives alot of bonuses to hit and damage that was the ONLY way i could hit her reliably. Ember can remove her damage reduction and immunties so burning hands will at least deal damage, but all in all she's annoying as all hell to deal with--- again she's not difficult as her to hit is on the low end. It just takes forever to kill her because of the stupid AC they gave her.

I think she has mage armor and shield up, which is increasing her AC by 8 points.

I agree that it's really way over the top. Succubi are already extremely dangerous with level drain and high DC dominate person (Woljiff would need to roll a 20 to resist). +8 AC on top of that is just excessive. The only way I managed to beat her on core was save scum until she failed a will save against slumber then coup de grace her. :/

I have it, and I have used it but I need 3. I managed to dup it by activating it mid combat on all 3 of the characters that needed it but when I quit and load again it stops being duplicated.

While beating her was not that difficult i am very confused as to how she inflicted lvl drain on my Dampyre

She's difficult to hit, but she also doesn't do much damage.

I managed to wear her down with occasional critical hits. I wasn't in any danger of dying, but it took a while.

[Soul]

try tripping her or hit her touch ac with something. use Y identify weakness exploit it.

[Silhouette]

The game wants you to attack her Touch AC, but she's got high Spell Resistance, Immunity to a bunch of Sure-Hit abilities like Magic Missile, Immunity to two elements, Resistance to the Rest, DR against almost everything, she's 5 levels above you, with nearly 30 AC, and has high-DC dominate and can bestow negative levels.

You encounter around level 4.

The devs want you to fluke your way out of it.

[Insanity_184]

Ya she’s like a mini boss. You need protection from evil to stop dominate and you can be cheap and save scum till embers sleep or web stops her just within lans reach (though he only hits on like 18-20 I think)

Dampyr isn't Lvl Drain immune, he just not suffer the penalties. Your character can die from LvL drain.

I'm stuck on this completely....She has an AC of 29 ffs, Immune to magic missile and spells do nothing because of spell resistances...I don't see the point in doing this

I'm enjoying the game but the encounter leveling is bizarre. You fight through moderate enemies then hit a massive wall....

If you have to go level up and come back it makes the encounters before trivial so what's the point in the enemies in the first place before the f you bosss

[canuck250]

Use ember’s sleep. Use pots/scrolls like bless. These games are meant to be a challenge so they will have fights close to the main path that will force you to use extra tools to beat. It is more of a puzzle game then an arpg game, you need to figure out how to beat her, not just smash attack.
