Default Re: Communions Bug

This is how communion and Holy magic have always worked and i assume it's on purpose. It does not work for regular magic.


Edratman-

Quickness does let you use spell casting items twice a turn. BoQ and Fireball Wand, Skull hat, Staff of Corrosion, etc is a very good tactic. Q does not let you shoot bows twice though, and if you try it with x-bows to get them to fire every turn the archer will go whacky and often charge the enemy with intent to use the crossbow as a club.

If it's on purpose, it's still broken, because an H1 mage gets to cast four H# spells per turn, but an H1N1 mage gets to cast only one H# spell per turn, at least until one of his communicants gets killed, then he gets to cast two H# spells per turn.

I know it is not supposed to. But I've seen it happen and last night I saw it happen 2 or 3 times. I am getting 2 casts of fireball(I think that is the spell) from the wand of leadership (or whatever it is called) on leaders with the boots of quickness. I don't know if it has always happened or not. I'm following more battles because I've just started playing MA Shinu and am using a new tactic for me.

Edratman - I think you misread Tyrant's response. You are supposed to get two casts from spell-casting items if you have a quickness effect.

I have seen 2 shots from bows as well. At least with quickness bless, not sure about spell quickness.

Try it with LA Tien Chi's sacreds.

LLamabeast, Tyrant, I apologize for the error. Working too long, working too hard, I'm a little fuzzy at times. Yesterday was obviously one of those times. I'm getting way too old for this type of life.

What I need is a luck scale of 10 with the Powerball god.
