Requires items derived from the fourth schematic of the Chemistry Discipline and the fifth schematic of the Therapeutics Discipline plus an expertise level of seventy in the Chemistry Discipline and eighty-five in the Therapeutics Discipline, corrosive acid is sold in Inventors' Shops.

Actually, the effect isn't a fixed number. What the Inhibitor does is halve the opponent's Willpower.
...
t works on all non-animal non-mechanical NPCs regardless of their aptitude, though it it obviously most useful against mages.
...
In other words, it is effectively the tech equivalent of Drain Will, but has one major advantage over it - it ignores immunity to willpower halving coming from WP 20+.

The Mental Inhibitor seems to work only on the base value of Will Power, ignoring eventual bonuses, so, for some NPCs the drop in Will Power can be inferior to the usual.

Vendigrothian War Gauntlets
Mithril

The schematic requires Vendigrothian Sheet Metal, not Mithil.

Iron Key
Mithril can be purchased from Dwarven armories at the Wheel Clan or found in the Dredge, at the Stonecutter Clan or in the Vendigroth Ruins.

Bronwyck's Gun
Mithril can be purchased from Dwarven armories at the Wheel Clan or found in the Dredge, at the Stonecutter Clan or in the Vendigroth Ruins.

There's no Mithril in the Vendigroth Ruins. There are two sheets of vendigrothian metal there, though.

Confusion in both cases probably caused by both sheets using the same graphic.

Well my observations are based on the floating number over the target's head, so I can be wrong.

So are my own. On that and how many HP various NPC with no damage resistance lost when walking into my traps.

Balanced Sword
Charged
Envenomed Sword

A personal rediscovery: One of the thugs attacking *someone* under the Sobbing Onion wields a Balanced Sword. You might want to mention it in the entries above.

I don't think your stats for the medium machined platemail are right. There are several in the game and they're all called the same but they have different stats. The one you craft should have higher DR.
