Thought it was weird when my tiny stature gnome got hit by this aoe. Turns out someone been taking some massive artistic liberties with the spell scripts here. Or it is a case of the customed edits have been made on horribly outdated files.
The custom version is not at all comparable with the updated original scripts. We are not talking about some minor fixes here, but a complete rewrite/dewrite of how the spell behaves!
Please delete the custom script files so that the original is restored. As it is one of the few, if not the only option when a wizard/sorcerer PC is facing 5+ caster minions all with dispel prepared and spell mantle buff casted.
Script file list:
script: NW_S0_Evards
OnEnter script: NW_S0_EvardsA
OnHearbeat script: NW_S0_EvardsC
NWN wiki reference: Evard's Black Tentacles
Evard's black tentacles script is unrecognisable!
Re: Evard's black tentacles script is unrecognisable!
If Qels heartbeat solution is actually required. It can be moved to the original/updated behaviour script files.
