Strength spell bug

[aVENGER_(RR)]

As the title says, with fixpack v3 the Strength spell (SPWI214.SPL) is bugged. If cast on a character who's strength score is already above 18/50 (i.e. Anomen with 18/52 or Minsc with 18/93) it will actually lower their STR score to 18/50 which is contrary to the in-game spell description:

 

The character receives any strength bonuses appropriate. For example, if a character has between 18/50 and 18/00 strength, then his strength will just be set to 18/00.

 

Note: the spell works properly in the unmodded game.

I think we changed it from increment to set because the strength extra bonus was cumulative.

 

-> Protection from spell

Yeah, we'll add this to the self-stack patch instead.
