What is the formula for getting a paralyzing blow to not be resisted?

[Grace of Minoc]

I understand that the mage spell paralyze is the caster's eval int against the monster's resist spell. But what is it for using my bow's special move of paralyzing blow?

Seems that creatures with no/little resist it works all the time. Creatures with some resist it works
sometimes.

I am sitting in the 80's with archery and tactics and wonder if the higher my archery or tactics get the more chance I can paralyze thru the creatures resist spell?

And if so, is it the tactics especially that breaks thruough their resist? Need to know if I can stop at
100 tactics as was the plan or need to revamp my template goal to get to 120 tactics to be more succesful with this special move.

Thanks!

Last time I checked it's just a 6-7 second timer in between Paralyzes. If you try to paralyze them anytime between that timer it comes up as the target resists.

In PvP, paralyzes for 3 seconds. In PvM, for 6 seconds.
The official statement, "The 3(6) second duration is not broken by combat damage the way the paralyze spell is," is incorrect.

Thanks, but am talking about first time using the special on a monster. Some resist it. So would like to know if raising tactics, like eval int for paralyze, helps make the paralyze blow work.

not sure but I think when monster has over 120+ magic resist, the special move paralyze will mostly fail..

I'll have to test that when I get a chance I didn't think magic resist was looked at when a para blow hits you..I always thought it was a standard 3-6 second tick

Ok, just checked the level of magic resist on what I was fighting Jukas! The warriors, mages, lords all have ridiculously high magic resist 120ish.

Already reworked temp to "eventually" get 120 tactics. So hope that makes a difference.

Switched to fighting to get gains on other things for now. The whole point of being an archer using para blow is to blow some back when more than one baddy on ya! At least for this archer....
