Major bug found in MM7 and MM8

    I just found out that not only does GM Shield halves elemental projectile attacks (fire, air, water, etc colored projectiles), but "Of Shielding" and "Of the Storm" enchantments as well!
    (Those were supposed to only half physical ranged attacks: arrows)

    GM Shield rarely shows up in a normal game (since only the knight can learn it but my knights never bother with shields) , but needless to say, using Of Shielding or Of the Storm enchantments will make the game MUCH easier for the character wearing it!

    It says it acts like the Shield spell, but that spell does nothing, in either MM7 or MM8.

    That explains why some of my characters never took as much damage as the ohers even though they had the same resistance or armor skills: they had an item with the Of Shielding property.

That is the way I always thought it worked.

    I must admit I've never had a character with GM Shield in any of my parties, but I understood that it applied to all projectiles, physical or magical.

    Indeed, in AD&D systems, the Shield spell only blocks Magic Missiles.

It's still a bug.

    1) It doesn't work as intended.
    2) In MM6, neither the shield spell nor the Of Shielding enchantment reduced fire/cold/air elemental projectiles, but both halved arrow damage.

    A good chunk of the damage you get in MM7/MM8 comes from elemental missiles, so that makes the Shielding enchantment (which can be on a ring or amulet) VERY overpowered.

    It works on light and dark projectiles, too, which can't be resisted otherwise!!

that it can be on ring is worth remembering.
