Dispel Magic
« on: August 29, 2018, 06:53:00 PM »
The normal version of dispel magic is now able to strip level 19 and level 20 characters of wards. To my knowledge this is not an intentional change. If it is I apologize for my ignorance :)

It’s based on the person who cast the buff’s level, not the character’s. In this case was the level 19 also the caster?

Yes, the one buffed and the caster were a level 19 druid.

I am not sure this is the case but I believe the following is what is happening:

For a while they have been able to dispel select spells like true seeing, vision of the omniscient eye, and ultra vision. However, lately if I have one of these spells on my character, so long as one of those spells are active they are able to dispel any spell i.e aura of vitality, barkskin, etc, until one of the before mentioned spells are stripped away. Not positive on this, just my best guess after observing the behavior.

Looks like a known NwN bug, not a new one either:

I'm not sure what can be done about it though as Dispel is hardcoded.

hmm that's odd I have only been noticing it recently, even the traps in hotep back when they were all dispels weren't doing this.
