Automatic Still Spell I ASF reduction doesn't apply to shields

Post by Opustus »

Description of Bug Experienced:
Automatic Still Spell ASF reduction doesn't seem to applying to shields despite the wiki description stating that it reduces the total ASF by 5%: https://wiki.nwnarelith.com/Feat_changes

Additionally, the information about the ASF reduction isn't included in the in-game feat description, which would be nice to throw in there!

Steps to reproduce the Bug:

  1. Make a caster on PGCC
  2. Grab Automatic Still Spell I
  3. Wield a small shield with 5% ASF, no other gear equipped.
  4. Cast a bunch of spells above innate level 3, watch the spells fail due to ASF.

Expected Result:
5% ASF reduction applies to shield? In-game description is up to date?

Actual Result:
5% ASF doesn't apply the shield. In-game description isn't up to date.

EDIT: Oh right, I'm a silly person, forgot that ASF reduction is cumulative so ASF to armor applies also to shield. It's probably such a nonsensical super fringe case that a character would have a shield but no chest slotted at all that it's a nonissue. Still, it'd be nice to update the in-game description!

Actually, you stumbled onto something interesting.
I'll be taking a closer look at this one, we may have some code to rewrite...

A feat description update has been pushed to the pipeline and the wiki has been updated.

Locking and moving.
