Illusion Clones Use Outdated Disguise Tag
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:16 pm
Description
==========
When the disguise tag was removed in place of putting quotation marks around a PC's name, the same update didn't port over to the use of clones made by way of Epic Spell Focus Illusion. If a PC clones themselves while disguised, it will now include both quotation marks and the disguise tag around the name for the clone henchman.
Because of this, it is now easier than ever to tell which copy is the real PC, where, before, the name above a clone of the caster was identical to whatever name they were assuming prior to using the ability.
Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
On a PC with ESF Illusion, disguise yourself as an alias (for instance, could use: -disguise Character Name) and then create a clone of yourself [To test this, the ability must be self-targeted, because there IS a different tag applied for cloning anyone/anything else to prevent people pretending to OOC be DM controlled NPCs or other Players].
Expected result
-----------------------
The clone that is made will show up as "Character Name" (Disguised), rather than simply "Character Name."
Screenshot(s)
--------------------
Will provide one later today when I have a chance to use my home computer.
Notes
---------
Considering the use of this ability is entirely focused on clever subterfuge, having a blatant tag above the deception tool ruins the only actual use of this ability, which is no longer able to deal any amount of combat damage due to current updates.
