Gate spell

Unread post by mrm3ntalist »

Can someone verify for me whether any summons actually appear after you cast the gate spell?

Its odd, for some of my characters it works on others it doesnt. Even some of the QC characters i created couldnt summon a creature after the VFX.

There is definetely something bugged here. Wht i cast Gate the vfx appears but no creature. If i use the thaumaturge's ability contingent summoning, then the gate spell, the creature appears.

The same happens with the greater planar binding spell. I am curious whether anyone else experienced something similar

With Greator Binding I found that they sometimes did not appear.

I think the cause might have been that I was casting them to close to the edge of a map. I am just guessing here but it seems to always work fine when I cast in an open area.

For example, The Efreeti seems to move a few feet towards me from the momment I summon it. It looks like it is starting from a knocked down positions and moves towards me while it gets to its feet.

So I guessed from there that it needs room away form a maps edge to appear.

Ding ding ding. Spot on Tekill....

I was trying not to catch the attention of others and i was casting it at the edge of the map. AFter your post, i used the spell in an open area and it worked like a charm :oops: :oops: :oops:

At least now the mystery is solved.

It's not only the edge of the map, btw: it could be impassable terrain, or simply not enough space.

It happened to me twice below lvl 10 when I began playing my cleric: once in Hilltop Ruins (right inside, I misclicked too close to the side of the entrance stairs. No summon), and once in the Xvart Village (resting area, atop the hills. I summoned into impassable ground as a test, and indeed, it didn't work).

Both times Planar Bindings of various magnitude, but I am pretty sure it's the same for all summons that have ground targeting.

can Epic Gate become instant cast like the old Epic Gate back again?

i mean if the selection of the summon is pre selected or predetermined by the caster.
