Saving throws vs CORRUPT

[Buns]

Playing my Ranger last night and saw that my under my saves (posion, magic, fire, cold, disease) I have Corrupt 15. Cant remember seeing that their before, so maybe a TSS thing or im bugged?? dunno!! Can someone confirm what it is for me, EQTraders is the one of the few gaming sites I can access at work without getting blocked by websense, and ill only forget to check tonight, so any help... ta much.

Yes, "Corruption" is a new resist introduced in TSS. Everyone gets 15 in it, and gear with this resist will be rare to start.

Beware the snow bunnies roaming Eastern Wastes.

Years ago, when Velious was brand spanking new, I had a level 13 necromancer on Lanys T'Vyl named Adastra. It was my first character, and I was in a guild with a few friends who corrup^H^H^H^H^H^H convinced me to play EQ.

When I asked where I should hunt at 13, a guildie told me that the snow bunnies in EW were about my level, could drop quest items, and could be hunted safely as they didn't aggro. That sold it for me. I took the lengthy boatride to Velious, remembered to bind at the docks after the trip - thank goodness - and following /ooc guidance, crept timidly across IceClad and zoned into EW. Lo and behold, a bunny sat at the base of the bridge, casually watching the sunrise.

I crept up behind it, and began to cast my snare.

Half the zone converted 12 stones of necromancer into a fine red mist.

Thinking it a fluke, I ran back to the zone, bound at the bridge, and went for my corpse. Again, half the zone particpated in permanently altering the psychic imprint of that area.

I returned to bind - within aggro radius of the lingering mobs.

My 12, no, 11, no, 10 necromancer faded into pixels and lost carrier as I franticly tried to yank the power cable out of my router.

I logged into a new alt a few minutes later, and asked if it was normal for such high-level mobs to be near the zone-in in EW. Gales of laughter and, later, gasped apologies were the result - she thought I knew she was joking about the snowbunnies.

A friendly cleric and a warrior cleared out the area and multi-rezzed me, but since then, he never did get past 13, always dying ignobly at the hands of some strange coincidence.

They are adding politicians into the game. They added the corruption resist because all politicians are corrupt, so that gives you a way to make a saving throw against the politicial BS they toss at you.

Note that the saves are strictly for flavor...as, even if you resist, you are still affected by their actions.
