Does Soul Mate still damage a linked undead?

[Alan Sylver]

I want to use 2 undead characters side-by-side, one casting soul mate on the other and then healing himself via poison or necromancy. Will this still damage the other undead, do nothing or heal him?

[Samael]

As per the skill it should heal him.

You would need to game first tho because you do not own it.

You do know, It's entirely possible the OP has it on GOG, but uses the steam forums since they are much more active...

Possible. Not entirely 100% is it ?

GOG or you know where.

Sorry, I don't differentiate much between the boards. In case this is important as to whether or not you reply to my question: I bought this game on GOG. I do own other games on steam though, so I don't see why I couldn't ask questions here, it's not as if I didn't pay them through other games.

I plan on checking for you when I get a chance... Still at work here just browsing the forums on breaks...
Kinda a pet peeve of mine when someone starts off with dumb stuff like go buy the game before you ask questions... (worse is the whole "git gud" instead of offering advice first)...

I did answer his question and i don't help people who pirates game so i had to ask.

What did you do exactly in this thread except telling me crap ? Nothing.

I gave him his answer. Which is what he wanted.

Alan,
These are the results of my little bit of testing for undead to undead soul mate:

Poison potion heals both.
Heals (restoration, health potions) hurt both.
Interestingly, if the target normally heals from the spell or potion (like your incarnate) you take damage and they heal
Cast necro spells that heal, transfer
But fortify, frost armor, bone cage etc. doesn't transfer... Despite the tooltip's description of any armor restoration you receive transferring...

If you need me to try any other specific spells out on this I'll give them a shot... I hope this answers your question.
And personally I have no issues with where a game gets bought, or what forum you ask your questions on... Steam forums at a lot more active than GOG not of the time, so I fully understand asking here...



Samael,
You guessed at an answer biased on it's tooltip description... Not exactly an answer since we can assume the OP can read it themselves...
You didn't ASK if he owned the game, you told him go buy it... All I did was point out there was no reason to assume he didn't own a valid copy from another source...

[Revolucas]

No. They removed this because it was an exploit to cause infinite damage on a shakled soul mated enemy.

[Alan Sylver]

Thank you two, especially killerproblem for testing all that out.

There are a few edge cases that interest me, but I can find them out myself - I needed to know if the healing works to decide whether I make number two undead as well, which is something I can't change in the game if I did it wrong.

Samael, please keep in mind that you can only check if I own the game because I explicitly allow you to, via my privacy settings. If I had a pirated copy, what's to stop me from putting my game library on private and then ask? Are you going to ask everyone with harder privacy settings to change them so you can check before answering?

The reason why I have my game library visible, by the way, is because of GOG Connect.

HE PIRATED IT


Or he is family sharing the game.

Perhaps he is watching twtich and is helping a streamer.

[...]

The skill description states: "Bind yourself to target character, copying any healing and Armour RESTORATION that you receive to them. Clears Frozen, Stunned, Knocked Down and Petrified."

Which means, Fortify, Frost Armor and Bone cage won't transfer, because they PROVIDE armor, as in you get bonus armor, even beyond your max. Wheras the Skill "Arcane Stich" for example states it restores, so that skill should work.

[killerproblem]

Nope it didn't... I tried everything that I could find that adds armor in any fashion, the poly spell, the geo mend metal, the hydro OT one... Basically nothing transfered armor that could be cast...
It might be a bug? I dunno... Just that I couldn't get it to work in or out of combat, with or without armor damaged already...

[Pottum]

@killerproblem
I just tested "Rallying Cry" and "Cannibalise". They do transfer the armor as intended. Physical, as well as magical.

Edit: "Arcane Stitch", "Mend Metal" does work as well.

I think I stop testing now, seems to be working as intended.

[killerproblem]

Huh, perhaps I'm bugged?
Was your test undead to undead also?
I had the armor transfer with living character's (loshe to Ifan), it wasn't working undead to undead (fain to undead player character)..

[Pottum]

It wasn't undead to undead, it was Undead to Human; Human to Undead and Human to Human. Maybe it bugs with Undead to Undead.
