Dwarven Spell Save Bonus bugged ??

Chane · 26-11-2007, 06:07 PM

Have been running the desert a lot and have noticed that my Dwarven Fighter is not getting his dwarven save bonus applied when the skeleton casters cast Feeblemind on him ? Seems to work for everything else cast on him...just that spell as far as I know.

But when I tried it in PvP with my Wizard casting Feeblemind on him he was getting the bonus ? Curiously though when my Wizard casts Flesh to Stone on him he doesn't get the save bonus added to it ???

Is there a reasonable explanation for this or just a bug ? Are there other spells which dont get the dwarven spell bonus added to them ?

There are a few spells that aren't rated as spells. This is a bug. The only two spells that I know are flesh to stone and the poison spell. Both of them don't allow the dwarf save bonus nor does a scarab of spell absorption help. I'm pritty sure spell resistance doesn't work either but I haven't tested it.

My guess about the Feeblemind spell is that you forgot to equip and item that boosts your saves before you entered. Otherwise it was a unusual bug.

I have noticed this in the desert too. You don't get your Dwarven spell bonus vs arcane skellies.... that is definite. I presume its a bug.

Definitely just that spell as it happened on several runs and other spells like chain lightning etc cast by the same arcane were getting the dwarf bonus added.

I've submitted a bug report for it anyway. One thing a friend suggested is maybe that particular spell is an innate ability for arcane skeletons so its not classed as a spell ?? Still doesn't explain Flesh to Stone in PvP though

I also submitted a bug report about this a few weeks ago. Would be nice if CM could check in with the devs to see where this is on their long list of issues to resolve (hint hint).
