Talk:Protection From Poison/@comment-2601:585:8300:4ED9:15DA:634E:254B:A657-20190428202818

One of the flaws about bgee is that they don't let you learn a protection from posion spell like you can learn the protection from fire,ice, electric, magic etc.

Sure you can buy a 1 time use scroll..... so your options for protection yourself from posion are little.

1. get this scroll.

2. Use an antidote potion.

3. somehow build a character with the best saves.... but even then you won't have then for most of the game so its not really helpful.

Now you can get posioned from melee or ranged attacks.... and 1 or 2 spells.

4. So that means you can try to build a character to have high defense vs melee/ranged as well.... so not getting get physically will prevent it... .but solo mages don't get the best for defense you can get defense spells though.... but then you got no offense.

5. I guess protection from weapons spells might work.... but the sad thing is there is no way to tell which level of weapon you are being attacked with... So.... protection from magic weapons... or protection from normal weapons ? If you have protection from one you canno't have the other also. Which means hopefully you are not facing enemies that have both normal and magical posion weapons and enemies that also have normal or magic ranged weapons...... see it gets really hairy. Sure I could cheat and look on the internet to find out what type of weapon a Wyvern is posioning me with.... or if a vampire attack is considered normal or magical... but there should have been a way to tell  without cheating and without trial and error and dying.
