Grease Domain Spell; fly in the ointment

I have an item with spell immunity: grease, and it does not work.

Half the time when I cast grease, the DC is set at 10

And a question: does freedom of movement help with grease?

Couldnt find answers online, and I know there are freedom of movement changes here, so wanted to ask.

Thanks.

Yes and no. It'll prevent movement speed reduction, but it doesn't change anything regarding the knock down coming from grease.

Test it if you requip the item just before you cast the spell, I believe spell immunity is kinda fickle sometimes

No idea about the immunity not working, unless somehow the spell ID that Immunity:Grease is pointing to the wrong spell, although i think that is unlikely.

As for freedom of movement, we have some changes in place to stop the spell being abused to avoid penalties from things like Stone Body/Iron Body... could be that Grease got caught up in that, although i think that's unlikely as well, as the check is more likely to be on the spell side.

So, to cut a long story short, no idea :confused:

Maybe need to see it in action at some point, check out what is exactly going on.

My guess is that because it doesn't grant spell resistance, it just goes through immunities whether specific or not. Oversight since technically speaking it's not wrong, just that one would figure the specific spell immunity is there for that exact reason to make an exception out of the exception.

I know it's not freedom of movement at least, since that spell actually is unmodified, we modified the other spells like ironbody etc to react differently 'to' freedom of movement rather than modify FoM

*shrug* I can show off how it doesnt work sometime if you want. Otherwise, I am not too bothered about it. Plenty of other bugs to sort through instead of just one item.

:D
