Dark Undertown spell does not work on allied summons

Post by Agog_fr »

Description

This spell does not work on allied summons. According to the wiki, it should work, and work every time (no need to pass a roll to ranged attack).

https://wiki.nwnarelith.com/Dark_Undertow

Steps to reproduce

Summon any summoner, with or without spell resistance, then use Dark Underdow on him.

Expected result

The summon should be teleported to oneself.

Actual result

Nothing happens. We see a visual shield effect like the one triggered by Spell Resistance.

Misc Notes

This bug renders the spell of little use. According to players on the discord, it worked fine before. Someone suggested that the recent change to Summons, the fact that they were no longer buffable except for Sequencers and certain spells, might have affected them.

Which Server(?

Andunor.

Gaming Platform(s)?

PC.

It seems Dark Undertow is only meant to affect allied PCs harmlessly..
I'll ask about a bit before either updating the wiki or the spell.

Don't click weird links, kiddos.

I see. I think it would be interesting tactiquely to make possible that it works on summons too.

A fix is in the pipeline.
