[Bug/Feature Beta 4] Resisted Spells Not Resisted After All

February 18, 2015 12:58:42 AM from Sorcerer King ForumsSorcerer King Forums

A current bug/feature in Beta 4 is that a spell or ability in tactical combat is showing as being resisted by the target with the floating display but the effect still fires off as if it weren't resisted.  I'm experiencing this in my current game.  Keplin the Mage is the hero and he supposedly resisted a darkling shadow shift, but the effect happened anyway.  I've seen this happen a couple other times in previous play-throughs.  I really hope this isn't a feature.

I've also seen this happen with the wizard and the hypnotize spell.

I have never seen the Hypnotize spell fail in the current beta.  It always says "Resisted" but it never fails to capture the unit.

EDIT: Actually, it doesn't always say "Resisted", but whether or not it does, it always works - the "Resisted" is ignored for the Hypnotize spell.  It should only work if it is not resisted.

I see this also, and agree.

Hypnotize can even currently capture magic immune units such as the Warlock.  It says "Immune" but captures the unit anyways.
