Wall of Fire Ticks Dealing 1 Damage

Post by Margrave » Mon Sep 11, 2023 4:12 pm

Description
Wall of Fire appears to only deal regular damage (4d6 and not the 2d6+CL the wiki suggests) when it spawns now. Any subsequent creature passing through or starting a round in the flame is only ever dealt One (1) point of fire damage.

Steps to reproduce
Cast Wall of Fire on the ground.

Expected result
Creatures damaged by the wall on subsequent turns take the regular damage (2d6 + 1 per caster level) according to wiki. When starting a round or entering the area.

Actual result
Creatures starting a round or entering the area take 1 point of fire damage.

Which Server(s)?

Gaming Platform(s)?

Description of Bug Experienced:
Wall of fire deals SIGNIFICANTLY less damage when an opponent runs through it, or it appears on them. They have to end their round/begin a new round inside the wall to take proper damage

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Cast wall of fire. Any wall of fire. Any metamagic, or even no metamagic.

Expected Result:
You deal CL + 2d6 damage and etc.

Actual Result:
You deal like, much less damage.

Additional Information/Notes
My initial guess of it being metamagic was incorrect, but this is just weird.
The first screenshot shows the damage of a maximized wall of fire (for consistent damage), when running through and when stunned in it, and it seems like the CL to damage is reduced to 4? but then, the second screenshot, which i believe was unmetamagic'd wall of fire, dealt 3 damage, which should be impossible with cl 4 (it'd be 4 + 2d6, so 6 at least).
