Talk:Aec'Letec/@comment-1855630-20181016161542

Just had a fight with this guy in EE 2.5 and ran a few tests.

Things that work against Death Gaze: Saves vs. Death(I was saving quite reliably, seems it has no penalty), Magic Resistance, and Potion of Mirrored Eyes.

Things that do not work against Death Gaze: Protection from Magic scroll(though it works on characters already afflicted by the Dying status, as it dispels all effects when activated), Protection from Petrification Scroll/Spell, and Ring of Free Action - it blocks Hold, but not Dying.

Amusingly, Polymorphing yourself into a Mustard Jelly makes you completely immune to all of Aec'Letec attacks, even though his claws are supposed to count as magical weapons. Maybe his damage type is piercing?

Finally, Aec'Letec does NOT detect invisibility. I was able to hide in shadows my way past him killing Cult Guards in the room, and then backstab him for 70+ damage to start the fight. A lucky crit-backstab would even one-shot him.
