Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

My Favored Soul did not start with the weapon prof. his Deity, but at level 3 he gained his focus.

I chose Finder Wyvernspur for the Bastard Sword favor and all i have his simple weapon prof.

a lot of posts here so I didn't quite get the chance to read through them all. However we are having issues with the "Blades of Fire" spell.

the duration is set to 2 rounds per level. however the spell on a level 15 character/extended that should last 60 rounds... lasts exactly 23 seconds.

What is your CL, necrotic shadows?

CL 15

1 round 6 second
2 round 12 seconds
15 * 2 * 2 = 60 rounds = 60 * 6 = 360 seconds = 6 minutes

Seems indeed it's bugged. Just wanted to make sure you don't have a lower CL than your character level, for spells are calculated from CL and not HD.

See the spell changes section here: http://www.bgtscc.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16494

Blades of Fire - Duration is 1 round/level for rangers.. still 2 rounds for all other classes.

That is 2 rounds. Period. A 30th level archmage casting the spell will have a duration of 2 rounds. (~12 seconds) Extended it would be about 24 seconds, which falls in line with your measure of 23 seconds exactly.

Only rangers have a duration measured in rounds / CL.

Hope this clears things up.

I have been trying the Extend Rage feats. It seems that they do not add the full 5 rounds. From what I have gathered it only gives 2.5 rounds.

Ethereal (( Spirit Journey )) Still not working properly:

Here is the screen shot of all the spawns ignoring the Ethereal (( Spirit Journey )) and attacking outright in the Haunted Mansion third floor. This has happened many other times as well, even in a DM event where the NPC's that were spawned did the same only I never got a screenshot for proof.



Thanks,

*Bump*

I have some bad news Lisa. As wonky as this sounds.
There is an issue with the haunted mansion we have not been able to figure out.
They can sometimes attack ethereal and invisible creatures.
We have checked over the spawns multiple times and just can't find the reason.
I guess the complaints about this went away, but a long while back this issue was raised pretty often.

Hmmm ok, I'll keep an eye on when I use this spell and (( if I Live ,lol)) I'll try to get some screenshots again of other areas/spawns that this happens with.. maybe there is a common denominator somewhere lol.

Here is an example of Invisibility not working:

Where the Willo-wisp attacks after I was fully buffed and Invisible... I cast it well out of its range of sight at the transition.

** edit ** I didn't take another screenshot but the Ssvaklor did the same thing... attacked outright.

*** Edit #2 - Hobgoblin Warsoul also cast Chain Lightning as she was invis ***

If I remember correctly, these bugs started appearing frequently after the dev team changed the difficulty setting on the PW. You can search the old forums, and you might see the complaints there. The solution is to play a HiPSer. Cast invs then ethereal, and if that does not do it, HiPS too. I have found that sometimes using the parry skill while the rounds run there course while moving to be helpful when just using invs and or ethereal as it keeps you from auto attacking.

Teleport Scrolls:

A very odd occurance.. Favored Souls get the use of Mark Rune.. in their spell selection but not a scroll of Teleport that they don't have memorized? Does anyone know if Teleport is a selectable spell at level up?
