Hexblade Arcane Resistance not working
« on: June 25, 2021, 03:16:30 PM »
Got hit by a sleep spell today from a friendly party member, but I was only saving at +2 despite having +3 Charisma modifer alone.

Strange. I've been playing a hexblade for a while and not noticed. Are you sure you don't have -1 Will base due to having 8 wis?

I think I've seen this bug happened when a nonhostile person uses spells on you (so friendly fire in a dungeon in most cases).  It's been a while though so I'm not 100% certain, and it was only a hunch or I was busy so I didn't report it at the time.

Well, my logfile of the incident seems to both confirm the OP and lend support to your explanation...

Strange, and most likely hardcoded.

Was the dungeon a sinkhole, by chance?

I don't believe so. Just a regular old cave.

My guess is that it's a limitation of the Saves vs Spells. We've done some tests where Cloudkill for example didn't take the Saves vs Spells in to account at all.
