Dispel

Ok, then I must have added you to test the original script for dispel on the greater dispel only.

On the my PU account? Hmm I was using my cleric tester on that account. Didn't test mordenkain.

Ya, it would be on your tester account. I think its only on greater dispel right now.

I'd like to get rid of the custom dispel script if needed, but I don't know why it was put in to begin with.

Also Mord's doesn't have a custom script, its uses the normal bioware version. Always has that I know of.

Well Gdispel rolled nothing.

How do you know though? The problem is the default dispel never let you know if it rolled. It just tells you what got dispelled basically.

Well, Gdispel vs a L7 should debuff them.. Only has to roll a 3, I did say I need more tests, but kinda gets annoying w/o a test partner that isn't being killed.

Heh. Well I know it works to a point because it did for me. I just didn't test it enough to go with exactly what its doing. I did it with Kerrie on some 17 druid and 19 cleric and both was dispelling defenses. Sometimes I got nothing as well.

Plus when doing it on a Red Dragon or higher, no go, I never get it through. This might be because of their high level, not sure on that. I have to cast it at their feet for it to work, but that uses the custom script.

After using this on Drunken for awhile. I noticed that the Bioware default dispels GMW and keen as well as others. EW version doesn't dispel GMW or keen I believe.

I was curious about that, but I didn't notice it dispelling GMW/keen after it said it had stripped it.

Don't have dispel dispell weapon buffs. Back before the Avenger nerf, Holy Sword was the only dispell spell that dispelled 'everything.' Even Bard/Curse song!

In a roleplaying sense, it's completely possible for a dispell to disenchant weapon buffs such as keen, darkfire, GMW, but bleh. Dispell whores strip too much away already. Let the nerfed AB cleric keep his/her +3 warhammer with darkfire. Let him whack away at endure elements and stoneskin. Who's he/she hurting?

Ya, I'm thinking thats the only difference between the EW dispel and Bioware dispel. Bioware dispel dispels weapon buffs as well as bard song/curse. I can fix the bard song/curse from being dispelled though. I might be able to prevent weapon one, but I'd have to look into that possibility.

i'm pretty sure thats why the ew code is in there, to protect the gmw, keen, and others.

Bard song, curse can't be dispelled it's a song not a spell, you can only dispell the bard aura (That's a custom EWA bonus), Curse and taunt can be taken off by any restore spell.

The obvious answer Gee? The person he's wacking.

But yes, I agree don't strip weapon buffs. Only people with that kind of power (strip) is mages and clerics anyway.

And my tests didn't show GMW being removed from any dispels.

It does, Kerrie was doing it to everyone.

Mages and clerics can't debuff weapons either except mord's. Mord's is bioware default so it will.
