Spells: Druid Group Resist Spells and Some Resist Stacking Issues

[Jomar]

Issue:
Druid Group Resist spells "Circle of Summer" and "Circle of Winter" currently only provide +40 to their respective resist (Cold for Summer, Fire for Winter), while they should actually be providing +45.

Proof (November 2000):

Spell Name Spell Description Class Location Mana
Circle of Winter Group Resist Fire +45 FR Abj. Old Sebilis, Howling Stones, Chardok, Burning Woods, Skyfire 150
Circle of Summer Group Resist Cold +cr 45 Abj. Old Sebilis, Howling Stones, Chardok, Burning Woods 150

Issue:
Talisman of Shadoo should not stack with Resist Poison. It currently does.

Proof (October 2000):
I don't think stacking databases existed back then, so it's basically just going off posts (which often times contained misinformation because we were all 5 years old back then).

DMF and shadoo add so much poison resist (not to mention bard songs) that gear almost doesnt matter.

Fizzi is right, with DMF + Talisman of Shadoo + Potion of Purity you barely need to worry about poison resist.

I always get buffed with shadoo and DMF before the fight, and usually drink a potion too.

DMF, Shadoo/Resist Poison, and Greater Purity do the trick.

No mention of stacking Shadoo and PR, and the last line would imply you can either get Shadoo or Resist Poison.

The idea was to have a lot more stuff than just these two, but I can't find any real evidence for how Elemental Armor, Resistant Skin, and Resist Potions (Null, Cold, Heat, Purity, Antibody, Vial of Vampire Blood) all stacked with spells back in the day. It looked like Resistant Skin was supposed to stack with Shadoo and Jasinth (which it currently does not), but Elemental Armor was not supposed to stack with Summer and Winter (which it currently does). I may just be reading that data backwards though. Either way, if anyone has an spdat file off the Velious disk then I'd say that whatever is listed there is how it should be here at this point.
