Heart Clutch Bug

Mailbox Arson · February 09, 2011, 09:36:36 AM

Invariably, upon the second round of a Heart Clutch spell I get the message 'You break your concentration!' regardless of whether the target succeeds his save check or not and then the spell cancels entirely, thereby making it useless.

Considering how cool the spell is thematically, I'd also suggest possibly some manner of sweet VFX being added, even if it is something simple like a Negative Energy Ray effect.

Try not moving your character to avoid breaking concentration. Holding the spell is a full round action.

I'm aware. Didn't think I had to mention that I didn't move or try any actions!

That's weird. My mage has this spell aswell. I used it succesfully till the 6ish round, thats when my target died. I have no futher clues as to why it would not work for you.

Idle curiosity but do you really get a heart item? That'd be epic. <_<

It didnt work for me when I tried it with Breston either. Cool idea, didnt work at all. Tested it five times, same result.

Bump!

My sorcerer can cast it fine. Perhaps because you are a cleric?

Possibly. Breston, are you a cleric?

My sorcerer (Sarisa Verawyn) is currently having this problem. I cast it whenever I can but roughly 9 out of 10 times, I'll get the concentration has been broken message despite not moving at all.

Just bumping this since someone recently discovered it. Heart Clutch is a buggy spell. There have been other bug reports similar to this one. It is not working as intended because often times it simply breaks inexplicably, which has been tested by using on a consenting PC and both of them taking no actions other than the spell to test the bug.
