ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello

My summoner have the prodigy "through the crowd" active as a sustain because it's useful of course.

Since a while i noticed that my turtle maxed with grand arrival maxed was not healing anyone anymore, me or any of my summons, it just spawned

I was wondering if it was one of my item that for unknown reason would prevent my turtle to do the grand arrival healing and nope, even naked still the turtle was healing none.

Until i decided to deactivate and reactivate my sustains and noticed my turtle started healing again when summoned.

And i found the culprit : Through the Crowd, with only that sustain disabled, the turtle has no problem to heal, with it re-enabled the turtle will heal none.

As i don't code, i can only guess that the " You can never damage your friend or neutral creature while this talent is active " has its coding gone nuts, because it prevents the turtle to heal anyone (looks like healing are considered "damage")

Very nasty bug for summoner relying on the turtles to help their troops (and have an additional healing source)

ToME engine uses damage types ("dreamforge", "blinding acid" etc.) for many AoE and single-target effects, healing included. Btw, Necromancer's Dark Empathy (and, I imagine, Through The Crowd as well) doesn't let your ghouls' Retch heal you for exactly same reason, albeit that one can be intended.

I'm afraid I'm having the same type of issue with the 'Through the Crowd' prodigy in my Summoner. I have had the luck to come upon objects with the "Heals friendly creatures nearby when you use a nature summon: +X" trait. I have accumulated them and my Summoner now has a useful +70 on it. However, it seems the prodigy blocks that healing. I noticed it during a boss fight and afterwards tested it and found out it was indeed the 'Through the Crowd' prodigy. It turns out it is the main healing of my Summoner, so no I have to go around having the prodigy deactivated. I would be grateful if that bug could be fixed.


By the way, I have tested the turtle healing as well, because I had a feeling it didn't heal either last time I used it, and I was right. The turtle didn't heal either when I was sustaining 'Through the Crowd'. Please have a look at it again if you have time. Thank you.
