While switching out half your equipped gear 0.5 seconds before a comet lands on you doesn't make sense, it equally doesn't make sense that someone in the back can't reach into their pack and pull out a potion or wand that they want. Unpaused inventory is the happy medium.

Interesting, I never really explored the bug further after confirming it, so I didn't know that. Maybe try and do something similar to summons and death spell during time stop. I like my summons, but feel dirty when I see a lich cast 3 death spells during his time stops on my one mordenkainen sword.

Quest items get duplicated when someone gets imprisoned twice during time stop. You can duplicate entire bags of holding if I remember correctly.

Not working Thanks anyway

I'm not finding the param1 & 2 lines. I've tried putting the 8 and 1 under power and value, and then under param 3 & 4, but neither did anything to change his speed. This is what I've got so far

Any way to fix this temporarily through NI? I've strained my eyes last night poring over every entry in Wilson's creature resource sheet for my save game trying to find something related to speed, but couldn't find anything. Don't wanna use EEKeeper as that breaks too many other things. If I uninstall the component that means 80% of SCS is getting reinstalled too and bricking my current install. I'll pass on the component in the future though.

When Wilson dies and is raised, he moves super slow. EEKeeper shows his speed as 0 like the rest of the characters. He doesn't have this issue when I load the save in an unmodded game. Is the faster bears component maybe messing with Wilson? This is on 34.3

Hexxat is getting unlimited dominations due to the vampire changes SCS makes. Her domination recharges every round.

Don't want to start a new thread for this as I'm not sure if it'd be a bug or intended but Hexxat is getting unlimited dominations due to the vampire changes SCS makes. Her domination recharges every round. Is this SCS "playing fair" since she is technically a vampire? Either way, a bit on the broken side in my opinion.

cool, thanks

Is it " or ~ Because I see other entries that have multiple creatures have ~ and not ".

Thanks for the help.

Does this look about right? I just copied one of the other many immunity effects on the ring, though I don't know what to do with the "Unused" portion. It seems to be different across different effects.

I could've sworn this was part SCS's improvements for dragons, making them immune to death effects, but now I can't seem to find it in the readme anywhere. Am I crazy or have dragons always been vorpal-able? In any case, this just happened Any way to give him vorpal immunity through Near Infinity?

I don't know what to say to that. Some people believe the earth is flat too.

I think there may be an invisibility potion or two in the manor type houses in Beregost and/or Nashkel. There is one at least. Maybe it's just my install, but the initial Dorn ambush bandits drop a bunch of invisibility potions. So make sure to talk to Dorn to trigger the ambush upon going to Nashkel mines. As for invis detection, I always buy up the detection scrolls from High Hedge. There should be two? I don't learn them typically, and keep them until the amazon ambush is done. At the end of the day, the backstabbers in that ambush have a mere backstab multiplier of 2. You should be able to tank the backstabs relatively safely with any class able to wear a helmet, especially when not on double damage. It's not even the lack of apr, it's just seeing that he cast harm means taking a brief time out until it expires.

What's with people crying for nerfs in here? Your level 3 party couldn't handle Bassilus and got stomped? Ok, now you know not to come here at level 3. This isn't a Bethesda game. The game needs more combat encounters that really push your party to the limits, not less. MY problem with Bassilus is that on some installs he'll get the Aerial servant, and on others it will be something harmless like harm (ironic) or heal. I've expressed the opinion in the past that randomized spells on some of these climactic encounters really hurt the experience depending on the install. Asking for kobold nerfs? What the... I understand some people like to play "naturally" and go to Nashkel Mines at level 1, but you installed a difficulty mod of your own volition, and should adjust your play accordingly. Not ask for things to be nerfed.

Weird, I've played a ton of the game over the last year and like I said, haven't seen a caster complete a spell through damage once. Doubt any of my other tweak mods mess with it. https://pastebin.com/uhcPmK5s

Another observation that I've had over the last year or so of playing and watching people play. I've noticed when watching the vanilla game, enemy spell casters will often continue casting even though they take an instance or two of damage mid cast. I don't think I can remember one time with SCS that I've noticed a spell caster continue their spell after taking damage. I came back to this game after a loooong time not playing and went straight into SCS, so I don't remember the exact spell casting failure mechanics of the vanilla game, but if SCS has changed something to make spell interruption this reliable, then in my opinion that's been a change for the worse.

Don't know what the odds of this mod getting an update are, but I have a few bugs to report. - Slayer/Ravager transformation's eventual death is completely bypassed by having protection from magical energy. Once you're past the death trigger, you no longer lose control either, and are allowed to stay in the form for as long as you'd like with no drawbacks. - The piercing damage portion of Melissan's bone blades ability bypasses all damage resistance. Hardiness does not reduce it, armour of faith does not reduce it, it even partially goes through Otiluke's Resilient Sphere. The slashing damage component is reduced accordingly. Also consider rebalancing the ability, as having this cast on a character immediately disables them from any actions, followed up shortly with massive damage. It is an immediate run ender ability with no true reactive counter play save for casting Otiluke's Resilient Sphere on the affected character if you're lucky to have a mage nearby with an open turn. At least allowing the affected character to perform an action while in the cage before the damage hits would help a bit. - When Melissan teleports to characters, she teleports on top of them, getting them stuck within her. You at this point are forced into using ctrl+J, or the teleport pool power. But I don't think getting stuck on her model is intended. The following isn't so much a bug as just feedback, but the AI range/radius in the final fight is quite bad. Running away a bit off screen from Irenicus will leave him just sitting there, waiting until you've dealt with Bodhi and the Solars. (This is also really apparent in the final Irenicus fight in Hell in SoA; if you run away once the fight starts Irenicus and half the demons will just sit there. But that is not Ascension related) Same goes with the late stage Melissan fight where she summons a horde of demons. Simply running to the other side of the arena while they are summoning will leave them just sitting there for the rest of the fight. I know the technology is there to make this better (think Bandit Camp from bg1 with better calls for help).

It may have been mentioned before (starting to lose track at this point), but some enemies tend to happily beat on mordenkainen swords, doing no damage. Most notably golems, but I think I've noticed others as well. Would be nice to get them to switch targets.

Thanks for looking into it. I see the melee effect but couldn't find the ability, but I'll take your word for it. If it did hit, it didn't leave a profile icon, which it probably should. Hopefully the shambling mound thing gets fixed up so it is incremental and not a set to 25%. And yeah, this is an even more interesting and unique encounter than I first thought due to these synergies.

Dying portrait icon would be better than nothing, but a portrait icon in general would not be ideal as by this time in the game a lot of players' portraits are absolutely covered in buffs. It might be easily missed, or just plain old not visible at all. I don't know how much trouble it would be adding a visual effect on the character would be, accompanied with something in the combat log. What visual effect would be best, I don't really know.

Damn... thanks for the clarification. This is a crazy dangerous effect and definitely needs better readability for the player. So in theory if you failed every one of the saves, you'd get set to 25% hp multiple times during the next round and a half? (saw in NI that the duration goes up to 9). And it is also accompanied by the entangle effect to boot. Big yikes. Definitely thinking twice before engaging them in melee again, at least without making sure the saves are sufficient. Thanks again. Edit: Looking at the clip again, Anomen here would've had a Spell save of 1 (not seeing any save reducing effects on him), which should allow him to make every spell save vs the shambling mound. How did he get hit by the damage then, and two times to boot.

I know this is probably not the place for this, but I need a little help from people that know the game at a deeper level than I do. I've asked experienced players and no one really knows what's going on here. In this clip Anomen takes massive amounts of instant damage, none of it showing up in the combat log. Anyone have any clue as to what might be happening? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1967953834 Nyalee casts nothing at the moment damage is done. She's not attacking. Nothing is logged except the creeping doom that was casted a bit before. The second time it happens, Anomen's health actually dips to ~10, then immediately jumps back up to ~50. What could be causing this?
