Talk:Wood Woad

Immune to charm

I recently tried to use Charm Animals and Plants on the Act 1 wood woads only to find out that they're immune to charm? --GoingMenthol (talk) 22:30, 16 May 2025 (CEST)

You are correct! They are both tagged with immunity to Charmed and Frightened, but the game does not communicate this to the player at all. Rydiak (talk) 23:02, 16 May 2025 (CEST)

It's probably something we should add to the wiki lol. Things like Ettercaps (and other spiders) being immune to Web is useful information. HiddenDragon (talk) 23:07, 16 May 2025 (CEST)

What is absolutely ridiculous is the immunities are inherited from the _Plant parent template, which has immunity to Charm by default meaning  Charm Animals and Plants can never work on plants! Rydiak (talk) 23:11, 16 May 2025 (CEST)

Good lord! Please add it to that page, that is an incredible oversight from Larian lol HiddenDragon (talk) 23:13, 16 May 2025 (CEST)

This isn't universally true. Some stat blocks for plants seem to define new `PersonalStatusImmunities` which do not include `SG_Charmed`. The only ones that do not are the wood woad, dryad, and shadow vine. Others like myconids, shambling mound, blight needles, etc. should be affected by Charm Animals and Plants.

Good point. Probably better as a note then. Rydiak (talk) 23:28, 16 May 2025 (CEST)
