Title: Blade Barrier and improved evasion - Closed
Post by: pejsaboy on March 25, 2007, 02:41:42 PM

in the in game description of the blade barrier spell, it shows a reflex save for half damage. With the improved evasion feat, Gilli should be able to take no damage when he makes the reflex save against the spell. Normally a spell will show an improved evasion save in the chat log, and when I make the save I will take no damage. With the blade barrier spell however, it only shows a reflex save, and I take half damage still. At first I thought it was due to being a divine spell, but I tested in the arena against flame strike [being another divine spell causing divine damage] and make the imp. evasion save just fine with no damage.

I assume that this is a bug, but I could be missing something important that doesn't allow the improved evasion save to function against it.

Just wanted to bump this to the top, hopefully get a few more looks at it. Maybe any other rogues [or maybe even monks] having this same issue?

Don't know that my monk has ever encountered a blade barrier. If there's someone who can cast it and wants to test this in the arena, I'd be happy to bring her sometime.

In nw_s0_bladebara and nw_s0_bladebarc

Change:

           if(MySavingThrow(SAVING_THROW_REFLEX, oTarget, GetSpellSaveDC()))
            {
                nDamage = nDamage/2;
            }
to

Code: [Select]

nDamage = GetReflexAdjustedDamage(nDamage, oTarget, GetSpellSaveDC(), SAVING_THROW_TYPE_SPELL);

Ill send Drexia a tell next time I notice her online, Id like to see it tested out on someone else.

Edit:
Thats not something Im supposed to edit, right Orth? That looks like a toolset script, which I would have no access to ;)

I believe that would be a suggestion for Nibor.  :)
