Spell bug

Since I can't seem to log into the bugtracker (forgot ID & password), I'll post this here.
Shadow Shield the level 7 wiz spell is supposed to last 1 turn/level. It is effectively lasting for 1 round/level. Any fixes would be appreciated.

Thanks for the module! I enjoy playing it, even the aspects others may not like.

Have you ever heard of the word "nerf"? DMs have nerfed some spells to last shorter, and a few rare others to last longer. I'm sure this spell is one of them.

in effect.....all durations were toned down as it was decided a high lvl mage running around all day with the same buffs going was not "realistic". like a lvl 35 mage running around doing lvl 5 adventuring is "realistic". pretty much most things only last 1 round/lvl or 1 round/2 lvls or so....you get used to it and extend spell will be your friend.

I think alot has to do with those buffs that grant immunities. Constant death, negative energy, etc immunity is not fun. A Mage battle ensues, the 2nd mage uses all his/her dispels, but fails to swipe shadow shield. At least there's still strategy in outlasting the first mage until the shield wears off then give finger of death or wail a try.

wail is for the inexperiences and to kill noobs for fun...

with that aside, yes extend is your best friend. it will make your buffs more effective, in the way that they will not wear out half way through the battle

unless u get morded...

9 out of 10 times a mage battle could be won with 5 spells

mort , bigsbies , morts , Max IGMS , Max IGMS

Game over eh ?

Doesn't morts dispell bigby?? ;] it swear it did on NS3.5 anyway, maybe just the white tritons..

As for wail, yeah.. if you've got a pile of Spellcraft points, and focus in necro, the chance of wailing a wizard drops quite a bit, i'd think...

Noticed circle vs evil/good ends fast, but realy fast, sometimes it last like it should and sometimes it's gone (realy gone) in 2secs, i even tried to extend the spell but with same effects...

I think there is a bug that sometimes prevent the circel of protection to be shown when you exit an area even though it is still active.
