I think there's a problem with Lesser Dispel, and Immunity to Lesser Dispel.

I've collected a wee evidence album here: https://imgur.com/a/jWd1Z4F

Tried it with a Helmet, and an Amulet that grant Immunity to Lesser Dispel and tried different situations and monsters. PVE seem to ignore immunity and dispel me.

Havnt tested PVP too much, the one lesser dispel that player cast on me didnt work. Maybe immunity to lesser dispel only works for PVP.

If monsters cast it as AoE the immunity is bypassed.

but an AoE dispel is only supposed to target one (1) ward. In order to strip multiple wards (as was done in the images posted) the dispel should have been required to directly target the PC (which would not have worked due to the immunity item). So is there a bug that allows AoE dispel to target *all* wards on anyone in the AoE? Because that is a bit OP... :D

Apparently if you cast Clubbed Feet on yuan-ti in the dragons part, the game crashes. And then you can't log back in on the character until the offensive smelly-feets yuan-ti is gone some minutes later.

Is there a creature you didn't cast clubbed feet on, yet ? :lol:

I can't see anything on the latest patch notes, but my Mystra's secret spell stash used to cast 9 missiles, and now casts 2. Is that by design?

edit

ok this is weird, sometimes it casts 9 again, sometimes it casts two...

Whenever I try to cast Disjunction followed by Laitae's Second Chance or Vampiric Feast, it eats my spell but does not succeed, stating "Spell Failure, do not equip items when casting." This happens when I queue up both spells back to back and do not click or do anything else, letting the spells go through at the rate the game automatically sets them at. I think I have had the same issue with other spells, but I haven't taken the time to test all of them out. I have screenshots if you need them from retesting this today.

Incorrect duration:

Greater Scrying: Minute/level, ~30 sec/level
Greater Scrying does not last minute/level, despite the description of the spell.

Testing:
I cast Greater Scrying, then Bulls Strength.
The scrying sensor disappeared well before the strength increase. I suspect it currently uses the same 30 sec/level as the normal Scrying spell.

I'm not sure which one of the two spells is bugged but when I cast Healing Touch while ethereal it breaks the spell. I was told that it is supposed to be like that because an ethereal creature shouldn't be able to interact nor cast spells on non ethereal target, however using an healing kit, a healing spell or a buff on another non ethereal target doesn't break etherealness. On the other hand I am unable to cast anything on other ethereal targets regardless even if I'm ethereal.

I understand etherealness is hardcoded so that ethereal targets cannot be targeted but can be hit by AoE, therefore if this cannot be changed and the spell cannot be lore friendly is it possible to fix Healing Touch so that it doesn't break Etherealness? I have never used Blood of the Martyr myself but I was under the impression it doesn't break it.

What happens if you cast it out of invisibility? I think the two effects have the same breaking conditions...

The animal shapes spell that you get from the cleric animal domain currently doesn't do anything.
I cast it on myself and nothing happens, I use the shift shape feat and also nothing happens.

Thanks!
The direct whirlwind feat doesn't seem to be working either (from the whirlwind spell).
Also, my cape of the shapechanger only allows me to turn into a hook horror for some reason when I use shift shape

Please check Cape of the Shapechanger now and see if it works.

Will look into Direct Whirlwind feat.
