Gift/ECL Change Bug

Post by McPunchins » Mon Sep 14, 2020 5:10 am

Description
==========

Just made an Orog after the change to Gifts and some ECL stuff. Orogs are +3 now and according to the new system they should get 1 minor gift. They do not currently on live, they do on the PGCC. I'm not sure why this is since Drow do get a major now so I think something is wonky.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------

Make an Orog

Expected result
-----------------------

The selection of 1 minor gift.

Actual result
-------------------

No Gift selection.

Screenshot(s)
--------------------


Notes
---------

his was attempted twice and both times it did not offer any gifts.

Edited this post to contain the template.

Drow (And Svirfneblin) unable to take Major gifts

Post by AskRyze » Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:32 pm

Description of Bug Experienced:
Drow are unable to take any major gifts - they appear able to select a minor gift, but are unable to select any of the Major Gifts which alter their statistics.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
>Create a new Drow character
>Load into the character creation room

Expected Result:
>Drow, being a 2 ECL race, should be able to select 1 major gift.

Actual Result:
>Drow are only able to select minor gifts

Additional Information/Notes
The gifts of Melee-Magthere and Clergy are also removed from the list of selected gifts, which appears correct with regard to new changes. The only thing I can think of which would have altered this would be if Drow were accidentally moved to ECL 3, or if there was an undocumented change in that regard to increase their ECL, or possibly some other bug.

Edit: As below, this appears to be affecting Svirfneblin as well.

You say this, but being MILDLY MEAN to people is treated like a war crime on Arelith.

If drow were moved to ecl 3 they would in theory have only 1 minor. Also, in the feedback thread and on discord people are reporting the same on svirfneblin.

So either this is an undocumented change or a bug.

Can confirm that the Drow I just made was only able to select 2 minor awards.

Should be patched Imminently (tm). Just doing testing on a few other things.

Done.
