Problems with empathic bonds, the Zetesai, and the Verynvelyrae

Please report them here. Thanks. Msb 16:46, 27 January 2010 (EST)

Looks like the syntax for this collides with stormlord call lightning.
concentrate on calling my familiar vs. concentrate on calling lighnting down upon <target>

can you describe in more detail what happens? Msb 21:13, 8 February 2010 (EST)

It executes both abilities when you try to call lightning.

command: concentrate on calling lightning down upon foo

What foo? You have no familiar identified by 'lightning down upon foo' that you can call in this manner. Gargoyle 06:36, 9 February 2010 (EST)

okay after looking into it, believe it or not, this is a quasi-deliberate feature of thought process keys. it's supposed to be a fully general mechanism. so if you have two things keyed to "visualize a square", then they will both happen. but in this particular case it's kind of weird that they should both be keyed, since there is some semantic ambiguity... i'll look into changing the syntax for one of them (probably stormlord to "bring" the lightning or something).

There was a similar interaction between the Send charm and the Fetch wild talent. "Concentrate on sending my familiar to safety" would send the familiar to safety and also give a message like "You do not have a my familiar to safety." I don't have that character anymore though. I didn't use the Fetch sending much so I don't remember if that popped a message about not having a familiar identified by 'whatever'. --Fruri 10:57, 9 February 2010 (EST)

Tame

 The female monkey is not a type of creature that a male monkey can assist
 you in taming.

I see something wrong with that. Primates can't seem to tame other primates (both gorillas and monkeys cannot tame their own kind), so I'm guessing it's major bug. --Ralnos

Similar to this, Darkhold giant rats cannot be tamed by giant rodent VV (same message). I don't know if this is specific to Darkhold, I'll check elsewhere too.--Kaballah 02:53, 25 February 2010 (EST)

yeah this doesn't work on Losthaven sewer giant rats either.--Kaballah 02:57, 25 February 2010 (EST)

Wingless Flight

It toggles on and off periodically: You cease to float in the air. You begin to float in the air. This happens quick enough that the only thing effected by it is that you will fall if in the air. Jensendied 13:44, 21 February 2010 (EST)

Cheetah and Convert

The name of the resource energy seems to be "electrical", but bond info says it is "electricity". It would be nice if bond info used the same word that the charm expects (electrical) or vice versa, otherwise it seems to work though.--Kaballah 07:42, 28 February 2010 (EST)

Tiger's Panoply of Firedarts special

The resource cost for this attack seems excessively high, I think something is wrong with it. It costs 37 points of fire energy to throw. I realize it's a powerful attack, but compared to cheetah's lightning attack (costs 1 electrical) the cost seems wrong, it's not 37 times more powerful after all.--Kaballah 09:59, 28 February 2010 (EST) NOT A BUG. Seriously, exercise some judgment. Msb 11:09, 28 February 2010 (EST)
