Alhoon (High Researcher) Psychic Damage Bypasses Resistance

Post by Cataclysm of Iron » Sat Sep 23, 2023 3:03 pm

Description
The Alhoon (High Researcher) in the boss room on the second level of a certain dungeon has a psionic mind blast which deals psychic damage. The combat log tells me my character is immune to psychic damage (I admit I'm not sure why - possibly because I had mind blank active?) but then I still take the damage.

Steps to Reproduce
Stand near to the Alhoon (High Researcher) with psychic immunity, wait for it to use its blast attack.

Expected Result
Take no psychic damage due to immunity.

Actual Result
Take considerable amount of psychic damage.

Which Server(s)?
Cities & Planes

Gaming Platform(s)?
PC/Steam

Illithids have a chance to bypass mind immunity buffs with their psionic attacks.

Maybe it's an interface issue then - I feel like the combat log shouldn't say "[Target] is immune to Psychic Damage" and then on the next line "Alhoon deals X Psychic Damage to {Target]"?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll check if there's a straightforward way to make it more representative of the actual effect.
