Special Elemental Protection Potions

[petey512]

After doing a DM quest, the spellguard gave my character a box of potions that contained a few elemental protection potions that are supposed to be far more effective than the standard elemental protection potions, except with only one element. For example, Protection vs. Cold, or Acid, or Fire.

The Fire one seems to have worked great.

The acid protection potion did not seem to work at all. I checked the logs and I know I didn't get dispelled. Went up against Troll Hags and they made fairly short work of me with acid-based attacks, in spite of drinking the acid potion prior.

Thinking on it now, it should be noted that I'd also drank the cold protection potion, in fear of falling victim to their ice storm spells. Not sure if that messed with the acid protection or not.

In either case, I thought someone should be made aware.

Those Hags cast Dispel Magic earlier in their Spellsetup sequence as far as I noticed from my encounter with 3. I guess you're sure you've not been dispelled though...

Yeah I checked my logs at the time to be sure- Nothing jumped out at me, but it was very late and there was a lot of combat to scroll through.

Dispel has a very unique graphic display, and unless I blinked I'm very sure I wasn't hit by it. Garem's character was with me. He might be able to shed light on it.

Howdy.

I was there, asked him the same question about the dispel. I think I did see one of them cast a dispel at one point post-potion consumption. Obviously, I couldn't see the logs, so I don't know if it actually DID dispel the potion.

Or, perhaps that's the bug itself. Maybe it WAS dispelled, but there is an error in how it reports being dispelled so that you don't see it in the "Dispelled: Bull's Strength, Magic Armor, etc." list.

They practically spam dispel endlessly. If you had any sort of protections they were likely gone nearly immediately.

Might be worth testing with some DM assistance.

[petey512]

Yeah, sorry if this is a false alarm, guys.

If they have "unique power" instead of a standard bioware spell, I'm not sure it would show up in the combat log as dispelled.
