It seems that the extended headers have a limitation of 10 entries. Every time I added an 11th effect, be it movement rate, charisma bonus, or whatever, it would not take effect. Seeing as the modified/working Spin needed about 14 entries, I had no real choice.

From what I understand now, the ...

Kevin didn't have ToB when it first came out (at least that's what I recall him posting at one point).

I'd be willing to wager that he made the uninstaller to prevent any unknown problems from showing up - he had *no* way of knowing one way or the other if his (and the others involved) works *would ...

Actually, there is a movement modifier effect in there as well. Using the TeamBG IEEP vsomething.sometime (latest and greatest build), the bulk of the abilities were put into extended headers, but some of the other things (Movement Modifier, Immunity to Haste/Imp.Haste, the non-working "remove haste ...

I second that Sojourner, and all the hard work Kevin D & Co. did should've been in ToB from the get-go and tested as such.

*mutters*

I think I've almost got a hack/fix for the haste problem, but I'm unsure how to handle the added initiative bonus :\

Well, I'm *pretty* sure before ToB, when in an Offensive Spin, you'd move at twice the normal movement rate since the ability referenced the haste spell (which includes the movement rate change, which was a 100% increase, yes?).

Its not clear if the ability was *supposed* to give the extra ...

I *think* I've got it.

100% movement rate increase
+2 THACO
+2 Damage
Max damage every hit
Cannot be Hasted or Improved Hasted.
Cannot "stack" with another Offensive Spin or with a Defensive Spin.

Ok, so how did you fix it? Remove the haste spell reference and make it a straight addional attacks/round and movement rate modifier?

I've been poking around with a few tools the past few days getting a feel for things. This was on my list of things to brea...er...fix first :)

Don't take it the wrong way, yes SoA/ToB were good games, yes its a shame they didn't fix gameplay bugs, yes they shouldn't rely on great folks like Kevin D and others to make fixes, yes I shouldn't look at naked pictures of Brittany Spears, etc.

Well, the Jailkeep golem got a good beating.

A real good beating.

The scoop:

Rebooted
Created a fresh new character
Saved the game
Added the Celestial Fury via Shadowkeeper
Rebooted (just because, not a necessary step)
Started the game
Equipped plain Katana in ...

"there is NO DEBT because you had no CONTROL over Sarevok's life"

You mean aside from ending it? Terminating someone's life seems to me, in my little ignorant non-utilitarian world, to be a definite measure of control over another.

This is, of course, ignoring the entire possibility that ...

What Aegis said pretty much sums it up for me. Add to it that some of the endings sucked except for a handful (Keldorn, Edwin come to mind for the "non-sucky" endings).
