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

OnAcquire changes cause a bug with transformations, such as bear warrior's bear form. Specifically, picking up an item causes Bear Warrior to reapply all of the buffs, except I lose 2 AC and lose my cloaks regeneration stack.

Thanks for the report, Seymor! I think I can probably fix this pretty easily by editing the Bear Warrior creature blueprints to use the original acquire/unaquire scripts.

No ETA, but it shouldn't take long to do, so hopefully soon. In the mean time the best solution is to probably wait til you switch back to your regular form to pick the loot up. I know it's annoying though. We'll get it ironed out!

I hope that's not going to happen with druid or other shape changes as well?

Shifted characters (polymorph, wildshape, etc), are forced into being repolymorphed when the character is saved to their character file on disk (BIC). This forces losing equipment bonuses.

NWN2's mechanism behind this is inherited by NWN1's 1.61 patch, which performs the aforementioned instead of writing the polymorphed creature's stats to the character BIC.

It's an unfortunate either / or circumstance of the equipment bonus loss or the loss of newly acquired items during a server crash, but we can provide something to the player to toggle the acquisition autosave, knowing the risk involved.

It took a very long time to get that fixed I would not like to have to put up with that all over again every time we have to pickup loot though. It's bad enough we can't save until we unshift.

Endelyon has added an effect polymorph clause, if anyone else can test on their shifters, we'd appreciate the feedback.
