[quote=Themerlinhawk] The problem with resisting the surface thought thing is A) you have to know that's what he's doing and B) You'd have to actively be resisting it since Lazarus just kind of has that going on in the backround its more of a developed reflex than anything else for him. But yeah i certainly think it could be resisted you'd just have to know that is what was happening and then shield yourself specifically from it [/quote] Well for his sake then, I hope he never comes into proximity with a certain Western Lord (which is sadly quite unlikely). But hey, might be an interesting plot point eheheheh *smiles evilly*
