Anytime I zap a Wand of Lightning and it ricochets back to hit me, I always get hit in the dick. What in the world causes this? What is some good groin armor I can find to insulate my nethers from further shock? Do capes protect the groin or is it only chest armor?

picture very much related

Shit luck I guess. Cloaks are very useful as they apply AC to every bodypart. Having a source of electricity resistance will help too. Not getting hit with lighting will help most.

Lol. Good post. Belts will help protect your groin area the most.

If I remember right this was actually due to a quirk with how the game determines which bodypart to hit when taking damage, since electrical attacks are able to hit all bodyparts.

System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.
