Can not cast Ward

Post by 250dragon »

I have Epic Abjuration, I have to full Spell component pouches pull 14 lose as well as I am at full piety. I have to go to special ability then Cleric and then to Epic Focus Adjuration to cast. but what happens is it makes the motions to cast and says casting ward Menu and nothing happens. no sputtering like when you have no spell component, Makes the motion and that is it nothing. this char use to be a Lore Master at one time.

Do you have 21 levels in a pure caster class? Are you considered an epic caster?

She is a 23 level Cleric. It will not even cast with spell components.

To explain it in more QA-y way.

Character had LM levels with greater secret of warding before taking new build.
Currently with 23 lvls of cleric the PC is for some reason required to use spell components instead of the piety.

Steps to reproduce:

  • make 30 lvl divine character with 5 lvl LM dip
  • choose Greater secret of warding from the list
  • relevel to 23 cleric with non-caster dips to 30
  • pick ESF Abjuration

Expected result:
Epic spell(s) use piety as a fuel rather than spell components

Actual result:
Spell components are requirement.

Possible reasons for the bug:
My assumption based on the information i have is that relevel did not took down the LM flag on the spells, hence the requirement.

What cleric path have you taken? Some of them prevent ESpF spells.
