Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.online (More info?)

I noticed the today that when I totally undressed my main char that I
actually had -15 physical resists. I was like WTF? Furthur more. I also
noticed that when I look at my skill points, I have 1.5 magic resist. I am
currrently downgrading this one so its no big deal. However. When I tell it
to show me actual points. It says I have 26 points in magic resists.
Remeber. My guy is totally nakid. No rings, braclets, earings, necklaces,
pants, boots, tunics, capes, nothing. the only scrolls I have used on the
char is the +25 Stat scroll. the skillz I am working are focus (100),
Meditation (100), Magery (99.1), Eval Int (97.something), Anatomy
(95.something), Swords (91.1), Tactics (86.something). the only other skill
with points left in them is the majic resist skill and I have explained the
weirdness thats going on with that. Has anyone else have this happen to them
and do you know what causes it? thanks.

YES!!!
I got your back on this one!
I had the same problem! I thought my char was jacked so I paged a GM (Who
blew me off with a read the playguide even though it would have taken
slightly more effort to TELL me what was wrong.... Assuming he knew) Anyway
they changed the way protective spells work. It took me a while to figgure
it out since I didn't know what I was looking for. I'll past the info from
the UO.com below so you don't have to go looking 😛

Reactive Armor
The reactive armor spell increases the caster's physical resistance, while
lowering the caster's elemental resistances. 15 + (Inscription/20) Physcial
bonus -5 Elemental
The reactive armor spell has an indefinite duration, becoming active when
cast, and deactivated when re-cast.
Reactive Armor, Protection, and Magic Reflection will stay on-even after
logging out, even after dying-until you "turn them off" by casting them
again.
(+20 physical -5 elemental at 100 Inscription

Protection
Players under the protection spell effect can no longer have their spells
"disrupted" when hit.
Players under the protection spell have decreased physical resistance stat
value, a decreased "resisting spells" skill value by -35, and a slower
casting speed modifier (technically, a negative "faster cast speed") of 2
points.
The protection spell has an indefinite duration, becoming active when cast,
and deactivated when re-cast.
Reactive Armor, Protection, and Magic Reflection will stay on-even after
logging out, even after dying-until you "turn them off" by casting them
again.


Arch Protection
Identical to Protection but has a 2-tile radius where targeted, and applies
the protection spell effect only to the caster and/or any party members
within the 2-tile range.

Magic Reflection
The magic reflection spell decreases the caster's physical resistance, while
increasing the caster's elemental resistances.
Physical decrease = 25 - (Inscription/20). Elemental resistance = +10
(-20 physical, +10 elemental at GM Inscription)
The magic reflection spell has an indefinite duration, becoming active when
cast, and deactivated when re-cast.
Reactive Armor, Protection, and Magic Reflection will stay on-even after
logging out, even after dying-until you "turn them off" by casting them
again.

There are 3 spells that mess with your resists:
1) Reactive Armour - Lowers all elemental resists, raises physical

2)Spell Reflection - does just about the opposite.

3)Protection - Lowers your Magic resist and physical (I think) and makes
spells un-interruptible

Number 2 is a bitch if you've subsequently dropped magery as it's a level 5
spell IIRC

Thanks a lot guys. I was begining to think I had a phucked char. Was making
me regret spending the $30 on ebay for the +25 stat scroll.
