Darkness / Web / Entangle / X

[Drakill Tannan]

Then perhaps it is simply fixed in the other servers i played in.

Though, now that i know for sure this is a bug, i can't fathom how is it that it hasn't been top priority to fix, or is it that the DMs haven't managed to figure it out yet?

I wish i knew how to script, i'd help in any way i could with this if that allowed me to make a mage that worked as intended.

I kinda want to know which wizards use cloud spells regularly...

Very few do, so not really worth it.

[Drakill Tannan]

I would. Especially at higher levels. Although, a wizard that casts a stinking cloud over his enemies in the chokepoint where his allies fight (who would be protected) is amaisingly fun, and powerfull. Druids that use gresse to get a great advantage are also fun to play, or entangle, etc. I've always been a fan of using web to hold off the first enemies aproaching then when they are all toghether cast a fireball and get more than one usually would.

I've used conjuration spells as Drakill describes and he's right, it's really amazing when you can pull it off. Those spells can turn the tide of a battle from "OH SHIT NOES!" to "We got this, mayne."

There's so many single-use consumables with those crowd-control spells on most of the quests, I tend to collect all loot throughout, and use minor-helpful stuff like that all the time myself. Gives a caster something else and fun to do, aside of being a buff/heal bot.
Not to mention, that if a party gathers loot after everything is killed, backtracking the area etc, most of those consumables no one even bothers to pick up!

So yes, I think what's needed here is:

Not fixable.

Hostile actions break invisibility.

Mostly because they're broken. ;) If they were working you would see them used, trust me.

[Drakill Tannan]

Yep. And it would end my eternal frustration for not being able to use gresse effectively as my druid.

Say, i'm bumping this. Will it get fixed soon?

[Nightshadow]

This really should be a no-brainer. Casting a hostile spell should break invisibility. So covering a choke point with darkness, a web, or wall of fire or some other spell like that should break invisibility. However, someone stupid enough to walk through it instead of waiting for it to go away is like someone stupid enough to run into your sword, it isn't you attacking, it's them hurting themselves on your obstacle. Unless you cast a dominate spell on them, you did not make them walk into the fire.

So, yes, can we please make it so that these spells that have persistent effects over time, like grease, wall of fire, black tentacles, web, darkness, etc. only dispel after being cast, and not whenever someone is affected by them?

[Drakill Tannan]

Please
