The hand has the wizards hp so most hands have very low hp and any real threat can just kill and dispatch one of the most powerful wizard spells in the game without even breaking a sweat . The new version of this spell is so unrealistic and funny it has to be bugged right there's no way this is supposed to be so weak now ?
It was changed to function closer to the way it does in PnP.
The original NWN Bigby spells were very overpowered. A targetable, killable hand is what Bigby spells are supposed to have.
You aren't supposed to be able to use anything but unarmed attacks or light weapons while grappling though, and then only if you pass the grapple check. I haven't tested this, but it is quite possible the changes have rendered the spell useless.
((Edit: I mispoke, you don't have to pass a grapple check to attack, but you get a -4 penalty on all attacks, and you can use natural weapons as well))

A - good - part of the update is the new and updated domains for clerics, eg Tyranny ( i really like this one - cleric of Bane ), Trade, Cavern etc. Each new domain has in its description which deities can be chosen from. When things settle dwn, the cleric domain posts will be updated.
While using pommelstrike or lunge, my toons icon gets doubled. (Guess this could cause much lag in a large party.)
and there is a message 'dominated someone / playername no longer dominated'
++++ NOT A BUG - FEATURE - THIS IS HOW THIS FEAT FUNCTIONS ++++

That is the way those feats were coded. The same thing happens with the paladin/ranger strike feats. Any issues you might find with them, please report

Thank God it doesn't allow for sneak attacks. That would totally break the game.
The new coloring in the log writing on dispels and mords are very hard to see. Like really hard to see. Can we get them in a brighter color please? Otherwise I am finding little problems on my PCs as I do not play spell casters other than Kory who uses mainly melee fighting after buffing. For the first time in months his wands of holy sword, bless and flame are working properly!!!
THANKS TO ALL THE QC, DMs, ADMs and DEVs FOR THIS!!! WHEN IT GETS IRONED OUT AND FIXED UP IS GOING TO BE GREAT!!!!!

Removing wards no longer works in character tools. The new menu pops up and the "Remove Wards" button doesnt work. So if it looks like I am godmodding walking in places fully warded =\ I tried to remove them, honestly.
I am not AS worried about this as I was them not working at all. I would think the DEVs and DMs have enough foresight to think that the immense amount of dispels and the upped caps on said dispels and mordekainens should be balanced out as well.......if not then oh wellz I guess time to kick those UMD using Rogues out of BG once and for all and settle this for all time!!!!
ON A MORE IMPORTANT NOTE TO ME!!!
Chances in an hour or a day that the whole thing gets rolled back to Sunday?
I want to play but.....have lost in the past droves of XP and a pair of DODGE 4 DEX 3 boots to rollbacks.
Would love to keep testing this and reporting bugs and they get fixed one at a time and we just move on this time. If it is getting rolled back again then I am not wasting vital life force on it to see me finally get the best drop ever from the RIG and then it gets taken away by a rollback.

So when my dominated shadow liam immediately spawns what is the purpose of that? What is it there for? Cause all he does is pop off a song and disappear. When I get requiem and he starts popping off a round of requiem every two rounds without using my bard songs or my cooldowns, that might be an issue...

That being said, have to check to make sure that the Orcillion (Mage/Druid) Bandits are not casting arcane spells while shapeshifted. Maybe they aren't but someone better test, I think I saw some being thrown around. Also, there should be put some form of gate mechanism, similiar to Corm Orp, which will deny monsters access to the new town. After I got in trouble, I made a run for the town and the Orcillion followed me right in and killed the whole town
There's one minor thing I noticed that happened, I'm not sure if anyone else noticed it too, but when I put on my regeneration cloak... whenever it healed my character for 1hp I noticed a buff flicker on and off beside his portrait. When I opened up my character screen and scrolled to the bottom the buff flickered there too, which turned out to be a 'sanctuary' one. *scratches head*
There are no level 30's, only level 20's with benefits...
Frost King Mordekainen's seems to not be dispelling at all. Only breach works which to me says his spell dc is really low even with the mords? I know the lizard chief in Amn can dispel quite a few of them while being a lesser boss...
Also True Seeing no longer allows you to attack invisible creatures even though you can see them......
