The higher your score, the less likely an opponent's mental attack will have a severe effect on you. Your MA is modified by your Willpower modifier. The effective default value for MA is 4. MA is a hidden stat, and if displayed in a debug window it will typically be 0. This score is then increased by 4 for calculations involving MA. |[[Ten Things You Should Do When You Start to Play]]}} | ||
{{name}} is a creature's primary protection against psychic attacks including [[Confusion]], [[Sunder Mind]] and [[psionic]] weapons. Base MA is calculated from the creature's [[Willpower]] bonus. Against psychic damage attacks, it functions identically to [[AV]] against physical attacks. | |||
Total mental armor is calculated as <math alt="Total MA equals 4 plus Willpower Mod plus bonus MA">\text{Total MA} = 4 + \text{Willpower Mod} + \text{Bonus MA}</math>{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.Rules|class=Stats|method=GetCombatMA}}, where "Willpower Mod" is the [[Attributes#Attribute Modifiers|attribute modifier]] corresponding to Willpower. | |||
There are a limited number of ways for the player to boost {{name}} ("Bonus MA" in the formula above). Some of those options include: | |||
* The [[Mental Mirror]] mutation adds a <math alt="3 plus Mutations Level">3 + \text{Mutation Level}</math> bonus to MA and reflects blocked mental attacks. However, this only applies to one attack per cooldown. | |||
* Cooking with {{favilink|lah petals}} | |||
* Cooking a meal which is [[Taste-based cooking effects|tasty]] | |||
* Wearing a {{favilink|psychic meridian}} | |||
* Increasing the [[Willpower]] attribute, such as by: | |||
** Gaining levels and spending [[attribute]] points | |||
** Cooking with {{favilink|mashed lag}} | |||
** Wearing a helmet of [[serene visage]] | |||
