Blade thirst
It grants the enchantment but not the on-hit regenerate.
Re: Blade thirst
It should come up as "On hit ability" or some such - it shouldn't say "vampire regeneration" or whatever the effect is called.Tarkus the dog wrote:It grants the enchantment but not the on-hit regenerate.

Re: Blade thirst
Yep, but the on-hit effect doesn't do anything! You don't get HP back when you hit.

Re: Blade thirst
A ranger cast it on me, however I have no ranger levels myself.
Re: Blade thirst
I think (not positive) that for it to fully work the ranger would have to cast it on your weapon, not on your character.DirtyDeity wrote:A ranger cast it on me, however I have no ranger levels myself.
Re: Blade thirst
In order to gain the vamp regen the character wielding it must be a ranger of appropriate level

A month or So? Since vamp regen was moved to a custom script

Re: Blade thirst
That's sort of a major change to the spell and should probably have been mentioned somewhere.
EDIT: Would that change also impact the enchanted vampiric regen property?

Re: Blade thirst
No, it's hooked into the blade thirst spell, which was changed from applying:
-Enhancement Bonus
-Vamp Regen
To instead applying:
-Enhancement Bonus
-Custom On Hit heal effect
And the change was documented, kind of.

Though the documentation is a little inaccurate. We didn't actually make vamp regen more reliable, we replaced it with a heavily altered version of the script the spellsword negative imbue uses, since there's no reason to use NWN's base, buggy vamp regen when we have a super reliable custom scripted one that works better.Ranger Spell Changes
--------------------
- Blade Thirst duration doubled.
- Blade Thirst vampiric effect now reliable (courtesy of Kirito).
- Camouflage and Mass Camouflage no longer stack.

Re: Blade thirst
I'm aware of that update, but nothing about it would lead me to think that the recipient of a blade thirst buff needs ranger levels for the vamp regen property to work.
That said, I do love that vamp regen (or the custom onhit that has taken its place) is reliable, and would love for the enchanted vamp regen to apply the same effect.

Re: Blade thirst
The workings of the item property are hard-coded, and will likely have to wait until haks/EE to be fixed.
Alternatively, you could try reporting how buggy vanilla vamp regen is on the Beamdog forums and hope they fix it.

Re: Blade thirst
I'm aware of how the actual vamp regen item property is all sorts of screwy and unfixable. What I was saying was that replacing it with the onhit heal as a permanent, enchantable effect would be nice, if possible.

Re: Blade thirst
Is this still not adress-able in the EE?

Re: Blade thirst
I am late to the party - just started playing a ranger for the first time.
I'm not sure I understand why you have to be a ranger to get the onhit healing property? Is it a mechanical limitation or a design choice?
