Nidbane Strength

[carson330]

I keep seeing these posts about people fighting off Nidbanes. How strong are they? Like at what stats for UA or MC could you fight one off? I know there's now 3 levels of Nidbane according to how buried a person is, but I'd still like to know worst-case senario stuff.

they are based on the stats of the person they are sent after...

I keep seeing these posts about people fighting off Nidbanes. How strong are they? Like at what stats for UA or MC could you fight one off? I know there's now 3 levels of Nidbane according to how buried a person is, but I'd still like to know worst-case senario stuff.

See its announcement post:

Nidbanes scale in power with their target, the quality of their fetter, and the severity of the crime. The Nidbane has the target's stats, times a factor per crime -- 0.3 for theft, 0.5 for vandalism, 0.6 for battery, and 1.2 for murder -- softcapped by the Fetter's qualities.

There's currently a bug with scent quality reducing Nidbane quality, but that will soon be fixed, making Nidbanes more powerful.

While we're on the subject, re-reading the announcement it looks like Nidbanes persist beyond scent expiration. What is the maximum time it takes for a Nidbane to get to you?
