Spell durations bugged.

[VanillaPudding]

A lot of messed up durations all of a sudden with the new changes.

Expeditious retreat (5) - Lasting 10-11 seconds
Haste (5) - Same thing
True seeing (9) - Lasted about 1 minute
See Invis (3) - Lasting less than 3 minutes.

Will post more when I find them.

These really can't be new if it is true. True seeing wasn't even touched. Nothing in the spell scripts themselves that was changed, in fact, could possibly lead to this effect.

You will need to give me very precise details about your PC's build and habits.

I haven't had any problems (Though I've only cast expeditious retreat) as a sorcerer, it seems to last (Didn't count) proper time both regular and extended.

[Caddies]

In IRC VP said it was from items, if that helps. Casts seem to be fine.

Just timed my Expeditious Retreat (5) item.  It was 30 seconds, as it should be.

Cats grace (3) from potion - 10 minutes exactly. Should be fifteen yes?

[VanillaPudding]

Ouch

Bulls Strength (10) - Ten minutes... Might be a clue to the problem with
Cats grace (3) from potion - 10 minutes exactly

Hm. I thought that I had heard something about this before. Not sure if they're related.

Same problem with haste potions (rather than item uses) on a different character. The duration was extremely short compared to it's prior state. All of this seems to have happened within the past 2-3 days, but the lengthier potions may have just gone unnoticed for a while now.

This is fairly draining on supplies when everything is acting as if it were cast by a level 2. :(

Ultravision - Cast spell by 4th level ranger - Duration is lasting 10 minutes exactly.

[Ommadawn]

I've encountered this problem as well, with my 6th level ranger. Cats Grace and Ultravision spells both last 15 minutes instead of the expected 30 minutes. No spell focus feats or anything like that are taken, and the casting times have been consistent since I started playing again a few weeks back.

[edit - fixed stupid brain fart mistake.. it's late]

[Gippy]

Rangers can cast bulls strength?

[Ommadawn]

My bad... fixed, Gip!

[VanillaPudding]

Not trying to be annoying but is anyone even looking into this? 180 gold 2 round haste vials are a rather useless and expensive! (and from what I can tell it doesn't seem to be harming some strong NPCs faced recently)

Short version -

- Potion duration at caster level 2 (possibly arcane vials only?)
- Ranger spells lasting half duration
- Even level 10 flagged drinks are at caster level 2

[Capricious]

Ranger spells are supposed to last half duration, since their caster level is considered half their true level. That is, if I am understanding this point properly.
