Gaseous Form strips bonus spells

Unread post by DiceyCZ »

Hi,
So after years I was testing out Gaseous Form again trying to add to my utility spellbook, however I noticed that upon entering and exiting the form, my character lost her bonus spells from items, or from spellcasting prodigy/INT. (same issue polymorph had when it was first implemented in the new system) Is there any chance to fix it with the use of skin item like for polymorph please?

Also the spell is not remembered by /mspells command.

Slot issue should be corrected next update.

/mspells results in "Failed to memorize spell 'Gaseous Form', or no spell was known matching that name."
/memorize 4 "Gaseous Form" |Wizard fails
/memorize 4 "Gaseous Form" |Cleric fails

Manual application of the spell to the spellbook, rest, and
/cast "Gaseous Form" works, so it's able to resolve the name.

I imagine there's a problem with the memorize portion as mpsells uses memorize iteratively.

Works! Thank you! After turning into cloud my character acquired polyspellfix and retained her spell slots.

There is also an issue where if you have two Spell casting pools (Mystic theurge) Gaseous form will 0 out your available spells for the divine side.

(Spirit Shaman) I am not sure if this is an Innate caster issue or for all casters

Spontaneous casters are screwed with any kind of polymorph effect. It's been a pet peeve of mine forever, but all the conceivable fixes require plugin work.
