saved reflex. still got damaged

[mute83]

i ran into a trap on a minataur remain ( not the problem). i saved the reflex save for the trap almost twice. but i still got damaged. and i got evasion. does it has anything to do with, that it was negative damage. and i am sure it has happened before, proberly also with negative. i got a screenshot if needed.

and on a side note. i tried searchng for posts, with the word: trap in it, and set it to the last 100 days. and only subject. like 4 of the 45 subjects it showed, actualy had it

Yeah, I think there's a custom acid trap that doesn't deal with Evasion properly. I often get hit with acid trap damage despite having evasion. Really annoying, especially since the damage is pretty significant.

I think the game is just bugged.
I think that's the ACID blob trap if I recall correctly.

I don't think you can fully evade it.

You can evade most acid blob traps. Just not the ones that hit for about 40 damage.

[mute83]

it was 10 damage. and it was negative energy damage

Negative energy traps require fortitude saves, not reflex saves, so you can't evade them. It's possible that there is a form of neg. energy trap that allows reflex to avoid some sort of secondary effect though, but still applies the negative energy damage.

You can't evade divine damage either.... Or magic damage.

Only elemental damage (fire, cold, ice, acid, and why do I think I'm forgetting one of em...)

Again, except the bugged acid trap And sonic traps, since they, unlike sonic spells, require a will save.
