Nahal's Dweomer 100% Success

Post by vonhizzle »

Halfway through my current playthrough I have decided I feel too cheesy about using kitted multiclass so I am restarting. I want to make a wildmage lvl2 dual to fighter (I have edited my dualclas.2da so wildmage, ranger kits, and barbarians can dual: give me your email if you want a copy). However, because my mage lvl will be so low and no access to chaos shields I have a feeling nahals aren't going to work too often. Soooo, are there any other spells like chain contingency that always work when casted out of a nahals?

I know that there is a bug that makes Nahal's cast a spell at a hundred percent rate, other than that, I suggest using Nahal's to cast Improved Chaos shield as well as Chaos Shield to boost your chances of a desired effect.

Yea, getting off that initial chaos shield is the hard part though lol.

Was testing with shapechange and I actually got a wild surge after the spell was successfully cast, while changing into the iron golem. So I guess the game treats each change as a spell.

Edit: Wait, are you saying chaos shield and improved chaos shield stack? I know that Chain contingency 3 shields stack but that was taken away in Sola mod. If I cast improved chaos shield, then after cast a normal chaos shield they will stack?

Edit Again: Just tested, I get the "You cannot have more than one chaos shield at a time" message.

I'm not sure if they stack despite that message. I'm pretty sure that they did at one time. Also, it possible that the lesser version of the shield stacks with the improved version.
