This isn't a bug; the save you faced was versus something else. You were hit with a Bolt of Paralysis, which has no save, just a Touch Attack.

These are the default bolt attacks for NWN that are meant to have saves but a NWN developer broke them all deliberately so the scripts still roll the saving throw dice they are meant to but never apply them, right? They all got bypassed.



Bolt attacks are so evil..

It's always been intentional. Gaze attacks have saving throws whereas bolts have a touch attack, so both can be countered, just differently.
