Talk:Terrorweb Dryder

Attrib point distribution
Doing the Dragon Festival missions, I'm often hit by fireballs from these things. I'm a monk with full Drok's armour (al 60) + 10 against elemental damage. Now I'm being hit by the fireball for 152 damage. According to the progression table, they'd have to have something like 30 attribute points in Fire Magic. That surely can't be right can it?
 * Go try some ele spells on the isle of the nameless, they are very punishing with stuff with low armour ie less than 80 &mdash; Skuld  04:28, 4 July 2006 (CDT)
 * See Damage. Caster level affects damage for elemental spells. At level 28 they should be doing roughly 40-50% more damage than a level 20 caster with the same attributes. That said, Bladed Aatxes probably have insane amounts of Swordsmanship and Strength since character level only factors into spell, wand and staff damage. -- Gordon Ecker 21:32, 25 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Using the same notations as in the Damage article:
 * EffDR = 3 × 28 = 84
 * EffAR = 60 + 10 = 70
 * AE = 2(EffDR - EffAR)/40 = 20.35 ≈ 1.27
 * ApproxD = RD × AE <=> RD = 152/AE <=> RD ≈ 119
 * when you look at the progression table in the Fireball article, it shows that Terrorweb Driders have 16 points in fire magic. --Funky Jah 17:59, 27 November 2006 (CST)

Lore
Can it be assumed that Terrorweb Driders are followers of Dhuum? The fact that they interfere with the work of the Reapers in the Underworld may be proof of that. They also resemble the Tortureweb Driders, which work to extract souls from the River of Souls in the Nightfall mission Gate of Pain, under Dhuum's command. --Funky Jah 07:32, 27 November 2006 (CST)
