"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.

Hi guys

Firstly, would like to say thanks! for the great mod. The previous tactics I used can't seem to work. The enemies are too smart for those I guess (guarded compound guys on the 2nd floor won't follow me downstairs one at a time anymore ;o))

So far, it's been fun, altho the reload button is probably spoilt by now from overusage. ;op

But anyway, 2 issues that I wanted to highlight or seek clarification on :-

1. The spawning assassins in the slaver ship - No xp recieved for each kill?
2. Does feeblemind work as it used to? I feebleminded the shadow dragon, (cheesy way to do it yes, but took a long long time to do) but instead of him standing there for me to hit, he turned red and wiped out the party.

Thanks again to all!

Welcome to BWL, Noelle!

I'm glad that you are enjoying playing the mod.

But anyway, 2 issues that I wanted to highlight or seek clarification on :-

1. The spawning assassins in the slaver ship - No xp recieved for each kill?

No XP for assassins, because players could use the cheesy way to stay idle for killing more assassins to gain extra XP. The additional XP for the increased difficulty is actually added to Captain Haegan and other people inside the ship (to compensate the additional diffculty the assassins will cause).

2. Does feeblemind work as it used to? I feebleminded the shadow dragon, (cheesy way to do it yes, but took a long long time to do) but instead of him standing there for me to hit, he turned red and wiped out the party.

The Feeblemind spell has not been nerfed, but now dragons have better immunities than they had in the original game.
