[SPOILER] Weird reward for Windspear Quest

[Mikhail]

I just rescued Windspear's daughter from the dungeon in the Windspear Hills. When my undead hunter returned to the man, he told me he could not give me an adequate reward but suggested I go talk to the Order of the Radiant Heart; they would probably let me join. When I ended the conversation, I suddenly received the special abilities Detect Evil and Protection from Evil 11 and 9 times, respectively. Is that supposed to happen? It seems odd.

For non-Paladin's, you're simply told everything's been straightened out, get your XP, and that's the end of it. But for Paladin's Windspear Hills is the quest that gets you your stronghold.

I think the idea is when you killed the Paladin's at the start of the quest, your Paladin-hood was called into question. I'm guessing you lose your Detect Evil/Protection from Evil at that point, and when your status is cleared, you regain those abilities. I rarely use those abilites (and only played a Paladin once besides), so never noticed if they were gone. But I did notice all the messages about gaining those abilities. In any case, they're normal Paladin abilities.

I almost never use them either, so perhaps they were indeed gone during that quest. Thanks for the reply.

I played the Undead Hunter the first time thru SoA and ToB and that is exactly what happened to me. I couldn't tell you if its a reward for joining the Order of the Radiant Heart or just coincidental timing and the fact your character is a Bhaalspawn.

Their great skills.

Protection from evil stops crazy summoned demons from attacking you, so thats usefull, and it gives you +2 armour class.

Detect evil is also usefull when you've "finished" a dungeon or map, just check it, and you may find enemies (well atleast evil people) that you wern't aware of.
