Not Used: Zolaras' Gift Suggestion Empty Not Used: Zolaras' Gift Suggestion

As it is right now, Zolaras' gift will immedietly teleport you back to wherever it was you died. This can cause problems, though, as this goes hand-in-hand with transporting you smack onto whatever it was that killed you. Theres no way to avoid getting your unbuffed, unprepared behind from getting sent straight back to the death area either, as I recall hearing that when you use the gift or transition from the Great Hall, all buffs are stripped.

So, suggestion! When you use Zolaras' gift, it casts a low-level Greater Sanctuary or invisiblity spell on you. This prevents the creature from seeing or targeting you. As it is right now, Zolaras' gift seems...well, not much better than respawning, if you happend to die right on top of a spawn point. Worse actually, as you'll loose more xp from dying twice than dying once and respawning

Each zolaras' gift is basically just a raise dead spell you use on yourself. It works exactly the same way, but does give 2 rounds of invulnerability (usually just long enough to drink 1 potion).

It does have the drawback of working just like raise dead cast by a party member...it brings you back right where you died at 1 hitpoint, restoring 75% of the xp you lost when you died.

Edited to add: Also, if going solo, you might want to wait a bit over 60 seconds after dying before using the gift. Smile It could make things easier on you.

Very Happy Nothing can help me when I'm soloing. I'm too dang curious. I used about 2-3 gifts in a 5 minute time period just now.
"Well, okay, THAT spell didn't work, but this might...."
*deaded*
"Okay, so it has xxxx ab....this this and this should counter it..."
*drops it to near death before being killed*
"Okay, one more time..."
*cough*

And sorry about a redundant suggestion. I thought that rapid-hp drop-stopping-at-one was me getting smacked up and getting lucky @_@
