Malfunctioning Haste?

Post by Fnord »

Hail, forum-goers! :D

Just for sh!ts and giggles, I decided to load up my final save from BG1 and pit my paladin against Sarevok, mano-a-mano. It was a long (long!) shot to begin with, so I'm sure you can imagine how distressed I was to learn that Dynaheir's Haste spell wasn't doing a thing for me--that is, it wasn't doubling my attack rate as the spell description implies. My PC already has two attacks per round, so my only assumption is that this must be a deliberately imposed limit. Can anyone verify this for me? Or, even better, tell me where I can download a nice fix for it. :D Thanks in advance.

Make sure he isnt wearing a ring of free action. I think this disables all speed improving items/spells.

No, Sabretooth. A ring of Free Action, or any item that give that disables all slowing effects like Hold Person, Web, Entangle and others.... I don't see how a bonus of Free Action would take away the Haste bonus. I've hasted Minsc with the Spider's Bane, and he was flyin'
