I'm running my tests but it seems to be related only to that spell.
This spell is custom made for BGTSCC, so maybe there is something odd in the way it was originally designed.

Your caster level is fine, I am sad to say - The Eldebryn effect on Casterlevels has been disproved so far ;) :lol:

I've submitted a fix which will use the proper calculation (20 + 5 + Ability) instead of a casterlevel which acts very strangely for this spell.

I've been misreading something I think (head ache):

It was SpellSaveDC + 5 not Casterlevel, Spell Save DC is 10 + spell level + relevant ability. Was there something that might have affected your DC this much? I doubt it so I can only conclude that.

I've changed it to be like the other epic spells.

Is that on right now so I can check?

It should still be on unless Luna has Ninja'd an update secretly. There is little chance of that though so yes, it should be using your DC. I'll check it against my archive to be sure its DC and not CL.

[Edit:] Yes DC + 5

Righteous Might didn't work for me, either.

I don't think, Luna added it yet. So, be patient =)

There hasn't been an update yet,

---
Fixed it: It was seeing visual effects as active spell effects because these effects were given a spell ID.
Thats why Enlarge person was thinking it was already active and said "Failed". It'll be in the next update.

Ruin was using a nwn1 save method so it was messed up.
It just needs to get switched to the nwn2 method for calculating a save.

I'm gonna push our Rasaels other fixes right now.

Greater ruin is still bugged. The +5 for epic spells is gone and the DC is random. I've had 32 and 30 on two casts within a couple of minutes.

It's currently set to:

Code: Select all

int nSpellDC = JXGetSpellSaveDC() + 5;	// Epic Spells are DC +5
Meaning that it takes your Spell DC + 5.
http://www.nwnlexicon.com/compiled/func ... avedc.html

I think this means that your ability bonus was different? It shouldn't be acting random.
It was set to this because the other function did not take into account any DC boosting feats you might have that were applicable.

I have epic spell focus evocation and +8 ability modifier, and I cast it at DC 30. It used to be DC 36 I believe. It was 36 or 37 until recently.

10 + 10 + 8 + 3 = 31, missing the 5 it should be 36.

I'm not sure how it could be getting 30 unless it's counting your ability as 2 or the spell level as 4 - both are very weird.


---
The Ruin script is currently set to use the value of your last spell's DC instead of generating a new one because its running the spell hook to set your DC only after it has already retrieved the value that it will use as your DC. (instead of the one the spellhook says it should use - which is your correct one)

I've sent a fix for the spell along.

I'm putting up a fix for the following issue's
1) Epic Ruin DC
2) Searing Light and Hammer of the Gods damage changes got blown off some time ago. That should be fixed again.
3) Casting spells from items should give the correct caster level again.

And I think that would close out all the existing issue's.

The server is going to reset in about 6 hours.. so the changes will kick in then.
