Summon stats weaker after server transition

Post by TooManyPotatoes »

Description
==========

Obviously it is great that summons and their buffs come with you through servers, but they come through weaker.

I'm fairly certain they are missing their EPIC CASTER BONUS stats on the base model.

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

Cast summon IX. Note hp, stats, ab/ac, etc. Teleport to another server.

Expected result
-----------------------
Stats are the same as previous.

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

Stats are less than previous.


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

Notes
---------

Caster was 27 cleric.

I did this without conjuration focus or animal domain so dunno if this is affected too.

Confirming OP's experience.

Transitioned servers with Summon IX up.

Epic Mummy Dust summons also lost AB when transitioning between servers, leading me to believe that serverswapping also neglects to check for spell foci.

Additional note, if you transfer again the summon level continues to go down. So it will go from VIII to VII and then VI and so on.

Can confirm all of these myself. Was actually going to file a report on Monoliths downgrading to Ancients.
