Encyclopedia of Spells

Seems the  links in the Encyclopedia are not quite working properly. Examples, Ghostly Visage and Haste seem to go to the wrong page. There are others as well.

Thanks for mentioning this.

I'm going to ask you to be a little more specific, because I just browsed through the Encyclopedia of Spells, found Haste and clicked right to it.  Same for Ghostly Visage. If you could perhaps explain the path you took to get to these wrong links, it might help efforts in remedying the problem, whatever it might be. 

Also, as this is more of a bug report than a question, it would be better for visibility and further attention to either post in the Forum Bugs forum or create an issue.  I personally recommend the latter for best visibility and so we can better track/assign problems like this. (Note: Issues can be created under the Team > Site and Forum menu).  I'll go ahead and move this to the Forum Bugs forum, but I recommend creating an issue with as much information as you can provide as to how you got the results you mentioned in the original post.

Thanks Dorg. I could be taking a funky path to the Encylopedia, so please tell me if there is a better way. I follow the following links to get there...

  • Game Systems
  • Dungeon & Dragons
  • Encyclopedia of Spells
  • Spells by Class
  • Wizard and Sorcerer Spells

Just tried it for a few spells (not all) and seems the following are a bit out of whack...

  • Fireball
  • Haste
  • Ghostly Visage
  • Displacement
  • Fear
  • Contagion

Great!  Thanks for that. I had gone in through the alphabetical listing rather than the class-specific lists.

So what I'm seeing is that some of the spells on that page (and possibly the other class-specific lists) have a URL pointing to Lore info rather than NWN info.  So for example, the spell descriptions are at http://layonara.com/nwn/spell-name, but the malfunctioning links are pointing to http://layonara.com/lore/spell-name.

So for the short term, either use the alphabetical listing or change the URL that comes up, replacing "lore" with "nwn".

Seems the alphabetic listing is also a bit out of whack. Fear brings up the Knights innate capability, not the spell.
