Blade: Offensive Spin missing ThAC0 bonus


Recommended Posts

Cam, here's the reminder to fix the Blade's Offensive Spin.

 

This is what Baldurdash does:

Blade Offensive Spin Ability Fix adds the missing THAC0 bonus of 2 that's missing from this bard kit's special ability, and the bonus is also now visible in the character sheet when the ability is used. The Throne Of Bhaal update to this Shadows Of Amn fix replaces the Haste effect with a movement rate and attack/round modifier to prevent the suppression of off-hand attacks. Note that the off-hand will still only get one attack/round; this is (so far) unavoidable.

IIRC, the problem with this and some of the kit bonuses is that they're using the HITPLUSn EFF files. The files give a THAC0 vs. Type bonus (vs. a regular THAC0 bonus), which apparently isn't cumulative (i.e., the last-applied effect wins). The THAC0 bonus really is there-- it just isn't the right one.

FIxed as follows. This also adds an immunity to haste effect so it wn't stack.

Added locally in alpha 6.

This also adds an immunity to haste effect so it won't stack.

The ThAC0 bonus works, the haste immunity partially. If I activate Offensive Spin and then Improved Haste everything is fine. But casting IH first and then OS I get the additional attack from OS and it is also doubled ( 3 ApR base -> 6 ApR after IH-> 8 ApR with IH and OS). Any idea ?

It's probably outside the scope here. In theory, doing a 0 second haste (assuming it's a non-cumulative effect) or applying a free action effect would kill the haste, but it's really a messy hack. The engine just doesn't handle the situation very well (it's easy to provide protection against future effects, but killing current effects with any specificity is a little messy). Unless, of course, one of the unkown opcodes is UnHaste. :)

 

In NWN, they use some bad-ass scripting to get around this, but we're just stuck with the garbage.
