Forum:Is there any way to protect yourself from the effects of a wand of slow monster?

< Forum:Watercooler

If a monster zaps a wand of slow monster and you're hit, is there any way to protect or nullify the effects? Thank you.

I somehow doubt they zap them at all, but shades do slow a player without MC3. If you're really afraid, you can carry a wand of speed monster or some extrinsic source of speed. --Tjr 09:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Tinned quantum mechanic, a wand of speed monster, a pair of boots of speed (unless you're already wearing those). A potion of speed might be good to get out of a tight spot if you slow down. As Tjr said, though, I think you're more likely than another monster to zap yourself with this kind of wand. --FJH 01:12, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't think monsters use this wand in vanilla, but I wouldn't put it past them in SLASH'EM.--Ray Chason 01:53, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Haven't ever seen it in SLASH'EM. I think the wand of cancellation is the only addition (not counting the entirely new wands). -- Qazmlpok 02:58, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
