"Bug" thread + miscellaneous nitpickery, Was for V4.1 Options

[leonidas]

So, in the spirit of pedantry, I thought i'd start a bug thread, because some of this stuff was bothering me.

Firstly, Brennan Risling's thac0 is too high, the poor bastard only hits backstab on criticals and had trouble killing a skeleton (i know thieves suck, but this seemed odd).

The description for the circlet of golden flowers mentions an ability called "critical mass curing," but the item does no such thing.

Raamilat, the drow f/m in Suldanesselar, can't use scrolls. The emote appears, but he carries on attacking straight away. Everyone else I fought was fixed by 4.1.

Even if you have all the components for the truth long sword, cromwell won't make it (cespanar does, however).

Not sure if this one is by design, but captain egeissag has infinite (i think, at least 20) absolute immunity spells, is unbreachable and un-lower resistance-able, and is only killable via lots of luck. In fact, come to think of it, there are a few enemies that dispelling magic (ruby ray, breach etc) doesn't work on for no apparent reason. There was a bunch, but atm only draconis in dragon form springs to mind.

That is all.

OK tested Ramilaat:


- First of all he casts stoneskins and uses a potion in the same round (he does it only once though)

- The message "quaffs potion" appears more than 5 times though he has only 5 potions in his inventory, meaning that sometimes he doesn't drink actually a potion.

- Leonidas is right about the "uses scroll" message. He has only 4 scrolls of PfMWs but after seeing the message I CTRL-Qed him and all the 4 scrolls where still there.
Problem is that he uses his scrolls only late in the battle and only if he stays alive enough time (had killed him rather quickly in my game).
Maybe it would be better to script him first to use a PfMW scroll and then to start drinking potions.

- He casts Hardiness in the first rounds of the battle, though I believe that it would be better to use first all of his Stoneskins before using it.

This can be fixed easily.

My main question remained unanswered, thetruth! What does he do immediately after the "use scroll" message appears? Does he attack or what?
