If you currently have a status effect, and then you save against that same status effect being applied (through saves, not resists), you lose the original status effect.

I tested this by going up to a troll, setting it to be stunned for 10000 turns. Then I changed it's physical save to 100 and hit it with Stunning Blow. It was no longer stunned.

Not really sure if this is a bug or intended behavior. I really don't like it, though.

The fix seems really simple: In engine/interface/ActorTemporaryEffects, on line 110, change:

Code: Select all

if p.dur <= 0 then return self:removeEffect(eff_id) end

to

Code: Select all

if p.dur <= 0 then return end

I tested this briefly, and it worked just fine.

I like this change.

Currently I code my new stuff to check for pre-existing effects (and potentially skip applying a new effect) specifically to work around this.

Nice and simple, but impactful.
