Rain of stones, and gifts from the sky

not true, protection definitely helps against RoS, but from what I've seen damage varies, some units take more damage than they are suppose to, whereas some units take no damage.

How big is that DRN roll? Does the damage vary over 2000 since Twan had his Machakas at 2000 protection?

RoS is more likely to be a head hit, I think, so unhelmeted units suffer more.

Hmm, not sure about that Edi, I've been using fog warrior + rain of stone constantly in several MP games. from what I've observed it's not helmet that's making the difference, I've seen, for several times, unarmored mages survive two rain of stones.

Pyrostock, Twan meant he made a game with 2000 units with protection of zero.

Twice I cast RoS with mages (seperate battles) who had head (and body) protection over 30 and one got wounded for 5 and the other died (9hp mage). IF RoS isn't armor piercing/negating as the spell suggests than the DRN is pushing the physical damage over 40.
