Therefore, slam could not be used either. </p><p>Just a note: <br />The wreekin mage speed was reduced to 10 in the patched/updated edition. You might be playing the older version of the book. I would check out these patch notes if you want to double-check the balance patch. </p><p><a href="http://www.destiny-quest.com/forums/general-discussion/show/3836#post3836">http://www.destiny-quest.com/forums/general-discussion/show/3836#post3836</a> </p><p><a href="http://www.destiny-quest.com/forums/general-discussion/show/3837#post3837">http://www.destiny-quest.com/forums/general-discussion/show/3837#post3837</a></p><br><br>Posted to: Wreekin mage damage <a href="http://destiny-quest.com/forums/rules-q-and-a/show/4397?start=0#post4398">Show Thread</a> | <a href="http://destiny-quest.com/forums/rules-q-and-a/reply/4397?start=0#post4398">Post Reply</a> Mon, 30 Mar 2026 03:53:26 +0100 Da Boss http://destiny-quest.com/forums/rules-q-and-a/show/4397?start=0#post4398 http://destiny-quest.com/forums/rules-q-and-a/show/4397#post4397 <p>Hello, new here. In LoS, section 491, you fight a Wreekin mage. Instead of rolling damage, he deals 10 damage including armour. </p><p>Is this damage still counted as damage dice/damage for the purposes of activating abilities like retaliate/lightning? </p><p>In addition, it specifies that you cannot use evade, vanish or sidestep to avoid the damage. I take slam is still on the table? </p><p>Thank you all for your help. Because of the way I've built my character it is a very hard fight for me if I cannot use the lighning and retaliate.</p><br><br>Posted to: Wreekin mage damage <a href="http://destiny-quest.com/forums/rules-q-and-a/show/4397#post4397">Show Thread</a> | <a href="http://destiny-quest.com/forums/rules-q-and-a/show/4397#post4397">Post Reply</a> Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:53:52 +0000 Alcavon http://destiny-quest.com/forums/rules-q-and-a/show/4397#post4397
