The old "greater dispel magic" was scripted to dispel
1) targeted creature
2) if there was no targeted creature, then it strips the best buff from all creatures.

The new dispel does not have the 1) component. It dispels always AoE unless a friendly creature is targeted. Can we fix this?

To be clear, currently you cannot dispel a single hostile target from all buffs. It always dispels AoE and thus strips only 1-2 buffs.
Can someone verify this? (Its different from monsters dispelling you)
Monster and player dispels work exactly the same way.

Wasn't quite sure if I should make new topic, but since this one handles essentially all areas of following issue, felt like a good place.

I've found out that:
1. spell scrolls for my prohibited school are displayed as normally usable and can be activated.
2. Universal spell scrolls are now displayed as unusable and can't be activated or learned.
3. Attempting to add spell belonging to prohibited school from scroll via "Learn spell" feat still produces a message that it's forbidden.
4. Universal spells already in spellbook are still castable, but new ones can't be attempted to learn.

Included is a jigsaw puzzle of different attempts to use varying scrolls.

Feeblemind and Trace Teleport are prohibited spells, while mark rune is universal spell that was used for testing.

I spoke with DM Rosette regarding this in game.
Current belief is that issue is result of character that this issue is happening on (Viktor Nerak) has not been played during past 2 years before 26.2.2017 and thus has not had chance to be adjusted to new server changes.

Edit: claricification due to valenfort's post below:
I've no issue when using any other cantrip scrolls. The issue also isn't learning mark rune, as that spell is in my spellbook already. The issue is that game treats mark rune as if it was scroll of prohibited school in vanilla NWN2, with only difference being from other cantrip scrolls(which are fine) that its spell school is "universal".

I'm fairly certain it's because mark rne is a cantrip and therefore cannot be learned, ask a DM to remove some exp from you just under the level up and then get that 1 xp point back in any way you like .. you should be able to pick mark rune and cast it.

FYI, the Celestial Lion summoned from Planar Ally spell, moves at 1/4 speed to a running PC. Which means it often never reaches a combat situation, because it is stuck in molasses mode...way back at the other end of a dungeon.

In contrast, the Celestial Bear is super fast, and always on your....arse. lol. Seriously, its like that bear has a PC on-your-butt fetish. :roll:

But it's nice and big now! Proper Celestial Lion size!! :D

About Mark Rune,

I can't use it on a scroll. Picked school Conjuration, with opposition Necromancy.

Originally the opposition school for Conjuration is Transmutation, so not sure why this should affect Mark Rune.

At the vendor, it is marked red so completely unusable. All Necromancy spells are 'white' for some reason but unusable.


Not sure if this helps but there sure is something strange with the cantrip as a scroll. I can use it fine as a spell. Maybe there's a wrong version in the stores?

Oak Friend for Hierophant doesn't work. Invalid target.

Apparently this was noted a year ago. I just gained it and have the same issue.

Just finished extensively testing "Greater Reflect Pain". It's not working.

Save throws are being rolled, but no damage is ever applied. Sometimes way too many save throws are being rolled (2 to 7 for a single monster at the beginning of each round). The spell description states round/level, but its at least minute/level or longer (haven't had it expire on me yet).

What the hell are you talking about? xD

I mean that MY OWN spell resist from the "Spell Resistance" druid spell isn't calculating properly. It doesn't take into account the CasterLevel increase from Hierophant's Spellpower. It goes fine over CL 30 with blood magic and such, but it's not calculating hiero's CL increase.

Out of wonder what was it that made Epic Heal not work when not targeted on myself?

I think it's all the lion shape summons that are slow, though I haven't tried them all.

I'm not entirely sure, all I did was forcing the target on the caster and checking if it worked (yes).
