The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Plasma critical table:
Spells, such as, Smite/Bane (302) and Divine Fury (317) when successfully cast can cause plasma critical injuries.
Since this is a CS based table there will be variable damage values (hit points) for each critical rank/body location depending on target resistance along with other factors such as level vs. level. However, the associated injury ranks, stuns, knockdowns and instant deaths do not vary.
Plasma bolt spells', e.g., Empathic Assault (1110), damage values (where they differ from the CS values) are listed in ( ) in the table's damage column.
EXAMPLE:
- ABDOMEN
- RANK 4
- DAMAGE 20 (15)
The rank 4 abdomen crit will generally result in 20 damage from CS based attacks and 15 damage from AS based (bolt spell) attacks. In this example the 15 raw damage was from Empathic Assault (1110). Unlike CS attacks, critical damage from bolt spells is non-variable for each crit rank/body location.
NOTES:
- There are several bolt spell damage values still to be verified. Those are designated (?) in the damage columns. Where there is no ( ) indicates that the damage is the same for both CS and AS attacks.
- There is one odd critical (Rank 5 chest**) which is always fatal (CS based) but only leaves a level 2 injury. AS based attacks result in a non-fatal level 2 injury with a 5 round stun. This is the only instant death critical that I have ever seen with this injury rank result.
- The bolt damage values are a bit messy. E.g., the Rank 9 Right Leg critical damage is 45 while the Rank 9 Left Leg is 30.
