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)
Fox and Swarm of Sorcerous Firedarts
Typo: You hurl a swarm of sorcerous firedarts into Qith's head, chest, left arm and right leg, catching him in the heart of the swarm with remarkable control and transfixxing them.Gargoyle 12:34, 7 March 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)
Rodent doesn't seem to be able to tame rats and whatnot either.--Kaballah 05:31, 1 March 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)
Special attack suspend status not retained across incarnations
Not a big deal, but when a familiar-granted special is suspended, and the character reincarnates, it is no longer suspended. Since 'breathe' retains this status across logins, maybe this is fixable? At any rate it's not a big deal. Attack priority is retained as you'd expect.--Kaballah 11:08, 4 March 2010 (EST)
Funny pronoun in Pachyderm bond fail info
"You sense a lack of social regard from the female mastodon, as though her considers you ignorant about what it takes to be a member of a community."--Kaballah 18:11, 4 March 2010 (EST)
- sorry that's bond failure info, not imagine info
Breathe attack granted by Firelizard
On a skaven character in LDD, who has chaos affinity, I appear to be breathing pure chaos damage. When I've had phaethons in LDD, they breathed chaosfire - I think the breath weapon does not have a base damage type of fire, and isn't working the way you intended. I don't know what would happen if I had no affinity at all, I guess either it would do no damage or untyped damage (if such a thing is possible). This doesn't really bother me but I doubt it's working how you intended it to.--Kaballah 01:57, 6 March 2010 (EST)
- yeah I just compared this to a powrie/pyx zetesai character who also has a breathe attack, and she breathes chaosfire with no other type of affinity skill, so this is not working the same way.--Kaballah 09:04, 6 March 2010 (EST)
Heron Bond - Sable Lash
Received new manuever for Heron bond and it seems to give the error [heart beat exception: heart beat for object /usr/rylar had error Skill 255 not supported as special skill in object def/descriptor/rating_factor program def/descriptor/rating_factor.c line 266]. This occurs in combat, as well as when showing attack and damge ratings for the new maneuver.
Sable Lash now working :).. Apart from a tiny grammatical issue it's a great new manuever: You strikes with blinding speed with your lotus-inscribed silvery steel katana at Bloodbane, connect with supreme precision and mutilate Bloodbane's torso.
Elicat Tetrakolumbos odd succor message
The tetrakolumbos the tetrakolumbos flies in front of you to protect you from a yellow-skinned male hobgoblin sergeant and a few yellow-skinned male hobgoblin corporals. (when nicknamed, the same thing happens, name of the creature shows two times)--Kaballah 17:10, 8 March 2010 (EST)
