Blinding Speed/Haste/Slow

Post by Curve » Mon Sep 14, 2020 5:43 pm

Description of Bug Experienced:
When under the effects of Blinding Speed (BS forward) and Slow you are unable to neutralize the Slow effect with a Haste wand, potion or spell. You can, as usual, neutralize the effects of Slow with a Haste wand, potion or spell when not under the effects of BS.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
I tested with all possible means in game. Hasted by non-BS, and Hasted with BS.

Expected Result:

Typically there are three levels of these spells, Slowed, Normal, Hasted. I expected Haste to bring me one step towards Hasted, or for Slow to bring me one step towards Slowed.


Actual Result:
Blinding Speed, being not-haste, not only prevents moving one step away from Slowed, but also skips the step of Normal when you are Slowed and under the effects of BS.

Screenshot(s)
I don't think screenshots are helpful here.

Its a very niche but potentially deadly bug, that I assume was not intended.

I'll have to adjust things to consider this.

When a wizard casts haste on you as you have blinding speed on the AC wil stack.

Yep. Unless I seriously saw that wrong, you *also* receive the extra attack...so Haste and Blinding Speed do seem to stack save for the Movment Speed increase.
