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

I've been having some permanent status effect issues where my character can't do anything until relogging, that I'm reasonably confident has something to do with shield slam. I'm having trouble telling precisely what the problem is, as the combat and chat logs lack sufficient detail.

I suspect what happens is when the target of a shield slam dies after the shield slam is queued, but before the shield slam is executed, the character is stuck in a shield slam execution status that will never resolve.

What I know for certain is twice my character ended up bugged where it can't do anything due to a status effect until relogging. And it happened during a fight while I was using shield slam when in a group where someone else was killing the monsters rather quickly.

Unfortunately the queuing of the action, the death of monsters, and status effect messages aren't included in the log files -- only the shield slam execution messages. And I didn't bother trying to figure it out in the middle of the action, so when I relogged I lost all the in game log detail.

I was able to reproduce the effect twice when the shield slam damage is what killed the monster, as indicated by it being the last attack in the combat log before the monster being logged as killed by my character. I also had it happen when the shield slam was executed on a monster that had already died from someone else.
I saw the question marks effect appear around my character as if affected by daze, and then he's stuck in a status effect.
Simply checking for the existence of the target before executing the daze may fix it. It could be necessary to check the target's health or something to make sure it's not dead.

But seriously, thanks for reporting this.

Have experienced the same occurrence twice with my character.

Repeated this three times myself today. Damn shame because I LOVE the addition of some non-caster feats. If it wasn't for the "I suddenly paralyzed myself... Permanently" effect, it'd be a great flavor/useful feat. (great boxing gif btw)

Crossing my fingers.

Is this bug repaired? Last night's patch included a fix for this.

I still get stuck in a permanent status effect if I kill a mob with shield slam.

Confirmed with Paws as well. Shield slam resulting in mob death = permanent paralyzation until relog.

Killing with shield slam still bugs, but if the shield slam is executed on a mob that died from a previous hit it no longer does.

While playing my MaA character I noticed that every time I use my Shield slam feat it freezes my character in place. When I try to click away I get a "Unable to move due to a status affect" yet there are no negative effect icons next to my portrait.

It will hold my character indefinitely, I think, as I waited for 20 minutes to see if the effect would lift. It didn't. If I logged out then back in again I would then be able to move again. I repeated the bug several time to be sure.

yes, please fix that

Pretty please with sugar on top.
