Vampires not tagged as vampires

Post by Yellena » Sun Mar 18, 2018 8:40 pm

I have been testing the usefulness of Sunburst spells, and so far the vampires I tested are not subjected to it. I tested in the ones inside Guldorand Crypt. I need a strong group to test on the Manor of the Mourne.

I checked logs and all vampires failed on all savings, in all tests and no vampire dust. :lol:

I will keep posting more bugs like these when I find them. Possible when Undead tags should happen also. :)

Have you examined them? With the update it examines, you will be able to detect their race. It may just be incorrectly set.

I didn't! I didn't see this feature. :P
But I think the spell detects subrace "Vampire" or vampire models. Can we see the subrace with the feature? Because they are "Undead" primarily.
I will test again hopefully today and return. Or maybe the spell is just wonky.

For this spell, vampires are all creatures with either a case-insensitive subrace of "vampire" or a vampire appearance. Some Vampire models may not be using the actual vampire model, and thus I imagine they are also not tagged with vampire.

An easy fix for whatever DEV wanted to manually tag them, unless that subrace field was needed for other purposes.
Please don't feed my sister.

Sunburst also didn't work on vampire pc's, no clue if it was fixed yet.

There is a rather famous-ish one in the Mod who is a vampire, not obviously advertised as such, but who is FOIG. I've dusted them before. While your observations are undoubtedly true, I just offer this for the perspective that the spell itself works as intended.

As for the PCs, those pesky buggers would never sit still for me to expose them to direct, albeit magical sunlight.

Pc vampires are not subject to many/most anti undead magic, such as bless weapon for example.

And yet I know things like stone bones works on pc vampires.
