Title: FORTIFY SKILL
Post by: Calypso on May 31, 2013, 07:58:23 am

Please fix fortify skill. I always get the message: Ok you'll stop fortifying your body.

It doesn't work at all ever under any circumstances. And it has been that way for months.  I have filled out bug reports on it and nothing has happened with it so far. It is a valuable skill so it really sucks no to have it.

no one seems to read bug reports (except me once in a while when I'm doing typos which I haven't done for a while), so it's best just to note imm (or in particular molzilla/thotter and Prometheus).  Suppose you could also note Now as he sometimes does stuff too.  I'm not too sure about the status of Graham or Xerxes...

Let me send it to our coder listserv. Well my version of said list so it is out there and Molly knows about it as well. Loria you might need to expand on what is going on with it.

There is nothing going on with it. That is the problem. Regardless of how long it has been since I last typed "Fortify", regardless if I have  been logged on for hours or just now logged on, regardless of any of my other stats.... Fortify always results in: Ok You'll stop fortifying your body

I don't know how else to expand on it. It just doesn't ever toggle on.

Loria, you don't happen to have an alias or something that automatically has you refortify when it wears off, do you?  I just tried it with Kvetch (since we know all skills as imm's) and it worked fine both turning on and off.

The skill fortify and the spell fortify body give you the same AFF flag.  So if you have fortify body cast, fortify thinks it's already toggled on.

ah i didnt know it was the same flag. I always cast all my spells first, then do the skill buffs.So by the time I get to FORTIFY, I already have it.

So when it says "OK you'll stop fortifying your body", it doesn't really stop fortifying?  It has to wait for the spell to wear out? (I ask because I have tried to toggle on FORTIFY several times in a row and it always says "Ok, you'll stop fortifying your body". )

That's right.  The skill thinks it can turn off the spell but it can't.

thank you for taking the time to explain that. That makes a lot of sense. I appreciate it!

Ain't that cute, you actually thought I'd read this and do something about it.

So the question becomes why the overlap. I'm guessing it is because of GM and both are low level enough spell / skill you can get both or one of them is class specific and a higher level lol.

Sorry just felt like replying to this post because I can! :)
