Description
==========
Seems like the ward is sometimes not blocking scrying

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
Use ward - protect to stop scrying

Expected result
-----------------------
Can't be scried for the duration of the ward

Actual result
-------------------
The scry target is still getting messages of being scried (They're able to detect it)

Notes
---------
The warder is a Loremaster, unsure if it's a bug with the ward itself or the Loremaster variant.
Also it's a bit spotty on if it works or not.

This happened to me as well but haven't been able to recreate it. Only happened once. Warder was also a Loremaster.

The warding rune no longer disappears when the spell fades. That could be one issue- The spell faded but you didn't realize it because the VFX is still there. I have no idea if there are separate issues with loremaster -ward not working.

EDIT: While I'm here, the warding rune ring is now sunken into the ground, that happened after the last NWN update. Is there any way the VFX could be moved up a little so it doesn't disappear under the floor?

This is still an issue. After more testing, it seems to be a problem with loremaster wards. Even after placing a fresh ward, people can scry through it.

There's only one Ward spell, and both regular casters and Loremasters use that same codeblock. I'll have to verify this later but any additional testing info that might save me time will get this solved faster, since there aren't too many moving parts in here and from a quick skim it looks fine.

Will take a look when I can.

I can confirm it isn't just the loremaster ward I've noticed pierced lately. Really have no idea what the cause might be though. I've noticed it twice in past week or so. Ward belonged to a healer.

I did notice last night that the visual seemed to last an awfully long time. The ward in question was NOT cast by a loremaster.

These are 2 separate issues.

The -ward graphic never fades, even for my wizard.

Loremasters using loremaster -ward are noticing that they are being scried, even if they freshly put the -ward down. Maybe this applies to wizards too? I don't know, will try and test it with other players. But they can confirm that it is an issue with loremaster -ward.

Can epic diviner specialists pierce ward?

They can't, or shouldn't be able to. AFAIK.

Status of this? Experimental workaround live.

So far haven't been able to bypass any form of warding, but it's limited by cooldowns. I'm going to level a div spec wizard and will report more later.
