Forbidden Deity Alignment

Unread post by Blackhorizon »

Forbidden Deity Alignment: Sehanine

Alignment: Chaotic Good

This appeared today when casting. Have not encountered this problem ever before with my character. Everything worked fine yesterday (about 12 hours ago) and there hasn't been any alignment changed in between.

Image

EDIT:
Additional details
Char: Moon Elf
Deity: Sehanine Moonbow
Domains: Illusion and Moon

The problem seem to come and go. After one reset it is fine. After another the problem is back. I can't say whether or not this happens every second time or randomly.

After server reset this seems to have resolved itself.

The problem has returned.

Forebidden (sp? Forbidden) Deity Alignment
As you attempt to cast the spell, you feel no power behind it. It seems your deity has denied you.

Where does this come from?

Hey, this issue happened after the new cleric changes as well, but had been resolved after updates. I don't know if the rollback has caused the glitch again.
You can also check if the elven gods are gone from the deity choosing npc in nexus. That came with the forbidden alignment issue last time.
Just curious if they're connected. It seemed only the elven gods were affected last time, but I could be mistaken. Hard to say because there are few elven clerics.
Hope this issue isn't back. Good luck.
Some people say if you can't do something right, don't do it at all...I say maybe you just need more practice...?

I did not have it after the update while others reported about it. I seem to have it now though after the rollback.

Just out of curiosity I logged in with my other elf and went to talk with the Select your God NPC. Charsheet for this elf says Corellon but the NPC says none (maybe how the npc is supposed to work?). Elven gods are on the NPC's list.

Addition: Restarting the game does not help. Still being denied so can't cast.

This happens with my Eilistraean.
Choose another God to follow with the Deity changer, and put a DM notification in your character description so they don't got concerned about your domain choices. I chose Finder Wyvenspur, and now I can cast spells again.

I'm noticing this also, and it seems almost on a rotating cycle? About every other reset my character can speak elven, and then cast cleric spells. However, when the language (elven) isn't available (due to the language bug) the deity issue arises also - might be coincidental, but I've noticed that relationship. Also, using the God chooser in the nexus had no effect on the problem for me either. I was able to 'choose' or reconfirm Sehanine Moonbow as deity but that didn't affect the spells being 'without power'. As a full pre-epic cleric - abilities/playability really dips without those spells.

This has resurfaced after the latest update.

Previously it happened a few times then just stopped occuring.

It appears that this time the "Select your God" NPC does not give me any other choices than the list below:

Chauntea
Deneir
Eldath
Finder Wyvernspur
Garagos
Gond
Gwaeron Windstorm
Lathander
Lliira
Lurue
Mielikki
Milil
Mystra
Oghma
Selune
Sharess
Shaundakul
Shiallia
Sune
Tempus
Tymora
Valkur
Leira
Uthgar

In case they are in any way relevant.

Choosing Selune as deity did not help. Still getting denied. Also after relog still denied.

Reset might help but that's a bit of an odd factor because there has been times when after reset all has worked even with Sehanine and then on the next reset getting denied again.

I have posted this in the QC forums. Thank you for the help in the nexus earlier and your thorough reports on here!

I've been able to cast without this problem for the past three days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 3-5 May) during my evening (about 16-20 GMT give or take). This is within one play session, no resets during it.
