Incorporeal
Contents |
[edit] Definition
Incorporeal creatures cannot be easily hit with normal weapons, which suffer a 50% chance of automatically missing the target. Ghost Touch weapons avoid this penalty, as do weapons wielded by a player wearing an item with Ethereal (Ethereal Bracers, Spectral Gloves), or Ghostly (Wretched Twilight, level 16 or 20 Cloak of Night) properties.
[edit] Implementation in DDO
There's no such thing as touch attacks in DDO, which is how incorporeal undead attack in D&D. To compensate for this, developers gives them very high to-hit bonuses to simulate it. They can miss, but it takes substantial Armor Class to get it to be reliable. (discussion thread)
[edit] Incorporeal Monsters
Incorporeal creatures include:
These monsters are affected by Incorporeal bane weapons.
[edit] Player Characters as incorporeal
