novel tactic to deal with Dorn Beast

[Mobius]

I don't know if anybody else has realized this, but you can

cast invisibility

on a dorn beast, and not worry about their

paralyzing gaze

!

[Kyreles]

Be warned if you have certain intrinsics which may not make this work. You could also try fighting them in a very dark place, where you couldn't see them. Or drink a

!Potion of Blindness

if you're desperate.

[grobblewobble]

Wait a moment.. perhaps a potion of deafness protects you against a gibbering mouther too, then?

[Carter]

yeah it does

[Mobius]

Then we have a second use for beeswax I didn't know of!

[Al-Khwarizmi]

And against harpy song, I suppose.

This game is amazing.

Also, we need a monster with an acoustic attack that is really strong and makes players really want to use deafness (apart from the Banshee which is kind of an one-trick pony, and it's an easy decision - do it or you die directly).

Harpy Queen?

[grobblewobble]

Rabid Gibbering Mouther?

Harpy Queen sounds awesome, though. There is not enough use for sleep resistance yet, either.

Harpy Lair would be interesting. Maybe the longer you spend in it, the harder it is to stay awake. "You blink and find that some time has passed!" That'd be fun.
