Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
While being attacked by a NPC mob, cast Greater Sanctuary
Expected result
-----------------------
They should stop attacking you; you're ethereal.
Actual result
-------------------
They knee strike your vital organs.

If you're improved invisibility while using G. Sanc. Then this is the old bug in NWN. Those two should never mix.
NWN Wiki wrote:Combining this spell with improved invisibility allows creatures to ignore the etherealness of greater sanctuary. (A bug, since at least version 1.68.) Relogging into a multiplayer server will sometimes fix this bug (but may have other, possibly detrimental, effects).

A seemingly simple fix would be to dispel all invisibility effects before applying the etherealness.
If I'm not mistaken, one line like this in the Greater Sanctuary .nss file, right before the Etherealness effect is applied, should do the trick.
Code: Select all
RemoveSpecificEffect(EFFECT_TYPE_INVISIBILITY, oPC);
And if that doesn't work, looping through all the effects on oPC until it finds the right one might work

The simpler and for sure way of fixing this may just be applying 100% DI to everything for the duration and tie it to the gsanc effect. So if GSanc effect is dispelled or removed, the immunity is also removed.
Still doesn't prevent the mobs from following you though.
A fix is in the pipeline.
