that you can uniquely think of ways to mitigate.
That's a lot of boisterous words for "reload"
Yeah I'm reconsidering. Equipment rot abilities are a good idea in theory. In practice, the dwarven enemies have become the most hated enemy I have ever faced in a game. Utter bullshit, they cast magic armor 50 times so I literally can't damage them, and then my entire party misses until they run out of vit and fall asleep, unable to end the fight, and the miners don't even have the decency to kill me, instead just throwing out the FUCKING armor rust spells. I instantly quit and reload now whenever I encounter them.
My cleric can not get a break, after repeatedly drinking unknown liquids from fountains I come across he is not only petrified, but now a duck.
