Warlock Pact Screws Up Wizard Spells
I recently took a warlock (fey) pact on my wizard character. Two things happened:
1) Any spell that I cast from my wizard spellbook that also appears on the Warlock's list of spells (Blindness/Deafness, Hold Person/Monster, Confusion, etc.) applies eldritch blast damage and is treated as a level 3 spell (I have 3 bard levels) for the purposes of spell penetration. This includes the infinite-cast Blindness/Deafness granted by GSF: Enchantment. I have 17 wizard levels, but my Confusion is resisted quite often by Yuan-ti, and my Blindness/Deafness is ineffectual on anything with even a smidgen of spell resistance.
2) Redacted because some people are metagaming twats.
The pact is important to my character, but I'll have to relevel and take rogue or something instead if this isn't fixed, or if I'm not told what I'm doing wrong. Pls help! D:

I'm unsure that delevelling your bard levels away would take away all of these effects -- make sure to check with devs who have access to the code before taking that step.
Re: Warlock Pact Screws Up Wizard Spells
I reported this around a year ago and got told it should be an easy fix; I'd avoid delevelling for now in case it does get fixed.

I hope you're right, 'cause my wizard is pretty useless right now.Hunter548 wrote:I reported this around a year ago and got told it should be an easy fix; I'd avoid delevelling for now in case it does get fixed.

After some more testing, one more thing I realized:
Shadow Shield lasts as long as it should (17 turns), but redacted because some people are metagaming twats.

Let's play a game! Bug or feature?

Re: Warlock Pact Screws Up Wizard Spells
I'd be fine with the Shadow Shield thing being a feature! But I'd like my spells to work, too!

Re: Warlock Pact Screws Up Wizard Spells
the spells you get from GSF use a fairly low CL, dunno what.. 10 or so because they're mechanically innate powers? they're basically useless against anything with even a bit of SR.

This also affects my hold person/monster and confusion spells.Xanos950 wrote:the spells you get from GSF use a fairly low CL, dunno what.. 10 or so because they're mechanically innate powers? they're basically useless against anything with even a bit of SR.

Re: Warlock Pact Screws Up Wizard Spells
Just wondering if I could get a Dev with access to the code to weigh in on this. Thanks.

So, I deleveled to before I took bard levels. Waited for a reset. My character is still borked.
Still no response from anyone familiar with the code, though. Should I just remake? I'm level 17.
