Hi all,

Has anyone heard of a bug that won't let you upgrade your strength through Vhailor? When I let him upgrade me, it says Strength +3, but then my strength on my character screen is unchanged. The really weird part is, then, when I level-up, my strength shows as 21 (upgraded), but it still is unchanged after I level up on my character screen.

Also weird is that it shows (before and after) as red 18 70/100, even though my strength is actually 18 and I am not wearing any strength changing gear.

Any help would be appreciated... I guess I don't NEED the strength, but I don't want to keep playing until I can get it.

Thanks!

Dave

You should list all mods that you have enabled in case this is mod-related, so any mod authors can check for you.

But another possibility is the fact that Planescape is based on the old 2ed AD&D ruleset, where Strength didn't go up in solid +1 "increments" in upgrading. I don't know just how familiar you are with the old 2ed ruleset, but Strength above 18 is graded in that weird 0-100 range mechanism I never totally understood myself. You can't add +3 to 18 Str and expect to get 21 in D&D 2ed.

The chart is in the PDF manual for the 2-CD Torment, in any case. Check page 29 for the first appendix:

18
18/01-50
18/51-75
18/76-90

So I think adding +3 to 18 Str puts you right at the 18/76-90 range, and maybe it's roll-based. I've never played with my TNO Str over 16, though.

If you're really not seeing any change in Str, like your inventory weight allowance going up or +hit/damage, then it could be a bug beyond the D&D mechanics. Still, a list of any mods would probably be helpful.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not using any mods, actually, just the patch pack (I believe it's called 1.37 or something).

And my strength appears to not be going up at all - it's 18 70/100 before and after I talk to him. My modifiers don't change either. Sad
