Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Steel Watchers and Magic Resistance

I'm a bit baffled by my experience against Steel Watchers in the coronation room.
I admit that I am not the best - and definityely not the most observant - player.
This was on Honour Mode, for clarity.
But I've noticed:
- Steel Watchers have their damage from Call Lightning (or Shatter, for that matter), halved by Save Throws
- the Wet condition has no effect on the damage Steel Watchers get from Call Lightning, dry ones and damp ones same
- Shocking Grasp (cast by respecced Astarion), which also causes Lightning Damage, does not give a Save Throw and generates full damage

What am I missing?

At normal difficulty steel watchers are vulnerable to lightning. In patch 6 this got removed for higher difficulties. I'm assuming it's coded in a way, that you can't make them vulnerable again. You could probably consider this to be a bug.
Frost damage should still be increased against them when they are wet.

Good idea - I'll test Cold damage.

I made the Steel Watch Wet and they became Vulnerble to Cold, hence indeed the coding seems to be ... innovative.
