SERVER UPDATES 7Mar2016 Patch

[pimpjwp]

The new bigby 9 looks like pen and paper but don't follow the mechanics of paper like while wrestling the hand you can only attack it with unarmed or one light weapon attacks currently you are allowed to wrestle the hand and attack it with a 2 handed weapon at no penalties ? Was this part of the spell left out to depowered it or just forgotten?

Is this the new bug reporting thread ? if yes, i have some possible bugs to report :

Regarding the new paladin spells that can be used as reserve feats, it seems that i can use them even if i don't have the spell memorized, they have the normal cooldown and seem to work normally. I believe i shouldn't be able to use them unless i have the spell memorized ?

---
Also can we have modify the new effect of silverbeard....it's stupid to see my char walk around with 4 spikes on his face.

Yes this is the new topic. The other one is getting difficult to track.

I know you seem to be able to use the reserve feats, but they shouldn't actually work when you try. Did you verify that they work when you use them? (you said: *seem to work*)

I've written down your request about Silverbeard.

Oh yeah, I have tested it again and yeah they have no effect if you don't have the spell memorized, i will edit my original post.

This is the post i made in the older bug thread :

"I am a FS(8)-SL(5)-Fighter(4)-WM(3) with the practiced spellcaster feat , so my caster level should add up to 8+5+4 = 17 . However , it is now somehow reduced to 15 .

So if i cast SPELL RESISTANCE right now i get 12 + 1 per caster level = 27 instead of 29 that i was getting prior to the update .

Same goes with magic vestment and greater magic weapon from which i get now +3 enhancement bonuses instead of +4 ."

Sorry if this is a misconception of mine but caster level progression is not the same with spellcasting progression right? (That a SL wont get in certain levels due to changes) . So do all of SL levels count normally as caster levels ? If they do this is needed to be fixed.

(All of my spells before the update were calculating a caster level of 17 as i showed in the spell resistance example)

"Revenance" summon a revenant that is Favored Soul and Neutral Good. In the description of the spell, it say that for neutral or evil aligned character, it will spawn a fallen adventurer or soldier. For good aligned, it say it appear as a Paladin.

Find Familiar spell doesn't do anything.

Beckon the Cold does not work for Greater Planar Binding.

I was RCRing my Archmage, and I am not getting the feat to take the archmage PRC. So I am stuck now, and have to RCR again.

Try logging out and back in before you RCR again. Sometimes the qualifying feat doesn't appear until you do that. I had to do the same for a character I made into a shadow dancer today.

So far none of the new ranger arrow spell/feats seem to work properly.

They spam 'Someone damages someone 23 (23 positive energy),' it throws up a dominated someone yellow line, and then goes on a 2 minute timer and doesn't add any kind of appropriate elemental damage on hit.

They appear to create an invisible doppleganger of the character on use, who appears the be the one taking this 'random positive energy damage' and who then disappears.

Repeat of my previous post, the patch didn't appear to fix any of these.

New patch effective about 30 minutes before this post. Get details here.

Yes, language is still a mess. No need to post more about it until after you see a patch addressing languages.

Someone mentioned hand-held lanterns are now appearing as hand-held banners. Where can you buy the lanterns? I suspect the player-held items now have obsolete MDB reference and store inventory may need a re-touch. PM me.

[Draelith]

Getting closer, looooove the new summons mechanics!

[blowuup]

I'm doubling the Archmage feat issue, relogging doesn't seem to help either.

UPDATE: DM Wafflehouse was awesome was able to give me the feat! But the issue remains unsolved, the feat number is 2798.

They appear to create an invisible doppleganger of the character on use, who appears the be the one taking this 'random positive energy damage' and who then disappears.

This also appears to be the case any time Lunge or Pommel Strike are used. I was just testing these out on a newly created character and noticed the doppleganger show up in my party list as soon as the Lunge or Pommel Strike was activated. One of my characters clones even summoned my Shadowdancer shadow.

Also, the first time I used lunge I saw: Dominating someone in the combat log, and lost control of my character as if it were an NPC. When I mouse-hovered over the monster I was fighting a chat bubble icon appeared instead of the hostile/attack icon. After my characters flurry had finished, the combat log gave me a: You are no longer dominating... ... *my characters name* message, and normal control of my character resumed.

Spirit Shaman cannot take Perform, even as a cross-class skill.

Nature's Avatar cannot be used on Phantom Bear or Telthor Animal Companion, even though it should be able to.

[Darkcloud777]

The floating skull will replace your familiar and does an incredible 1d4 plus 40 t0 50 negative damage per hit.

[Rhifox]

Empower Spell cannot be used with Quill Barrage. Seeing as Quill Barrage is just a nature-version of Magic Missile, I assume this is a bug.
