UCL necro specialist not stacking with PM levels

Post by thetadecay » Thu Apr 15, 2021 11:56 am

Description of Bug Experienced:

I'm running a necro specialist wiz/PM, and according to the wiki necro specialists get +2 UCL. It also says PMs get their lvls added to wiz for determining UCL.

So, from my understanding, 3 wiz (+2 from necro specialist)/4 PM should yield undead tier 3 summons, as 3+2+4=9. But instead I still get the tier 2 summons. Is this working as intended? Just wanted to bring it up if that was not the case.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:


Expected Result:
Summoning a Zombie Warrior at lvl 7 (effective UCL of 9)

Actual Result:
Summoning a Tyrantfog Zombie at lvl 7 instead

Is this by using the PM animate dead spell? Or did you use a wizard slot?

Sorry should’ve specified. This is with the PM’s animate dead.

It doesn't stack with that, it specifically checks to see if the last spell cast was a wizard spell so you would need to cast it from your spellbook for that bonus.
