Dryad Spell casting

[Guest anonymous]

Even after I installed the fixpack the Dryads seem to have a male voice whenever they cast their spells. I used Jahiera's "Call Woodland Beings" spell just to let you guys know.

Same here.

Transgender dryads?

[CamDawg]

It's the same issue as nymphs using male casting voices, and it can't be fixed without introducing the larger bug of removing the summoning cap.

[Miloch]

The idea of nymphs and dryads hiding "extra equipment" under those skimpy dresses is more of a bug in my mind.

 

Why not stick a ChangeAIType to make her female before casting any spell and another one right after to make her gender "summoned" again?

[devSin]

So what happens when we ChangeGender() and she casts Call Lightning and gets hit with death spell before she can get the lightning off?

 

That's why.

I give up, what happens? Besides her dying as a female and you being able to summon another one. Wouldn't you be able to do that anyway?

 

I have no idea how the summoning cap works, and AFAIK, BG1 has no "summoned" gender. So I implemented a BG1-version of Call Woodland Beings with a female nymph, and thus didn't run into this issue.

I think the problem is that she doesn't die, because Death Spell auto-kills only summons. I suppose you could include auto-kill of summoned nymphs explicitly in the death spell...

Dryads, ha! First time my Silmulacra did It, I nearly jumped out of my chair.

 

I propose a "BG2 for girls!" tweak, which will assign female casting voices to all genders(Neither, Summoned, etc) except Male.

Hah! Is far more complicated than that! There's a secret plot behind all this, I bet it!

 

Did you know that female <CARNAME>s have Sex set on Male (1) (and Gender on FEMALE - 2)?

It's a conspiracy!

[Kulyok]

And we can prove it!

If that's the only objection, I don't see why not. Though devSin (or someone else) will probably manage to contrive another objection ().
