Blue Slaad Cannot Be Ranged Touch Attacked?

Apart from the fact that they use Xorn models when we have a Slaadi model... they cannot be hit by my Eldritch Blast.

Combat log says this: X attempts Ranged Touch Attack on Blue Slaad: ** (roll here)

So, no *Hit* or *Miss*, but an ambigous void.

EDIT: Apparently some other players have had this issue too, and figured its probably because the game is treating them like an object?

did you have a weapon equipped while you blasted?

Yeah, but that never came into the equation before. Why?

Yeah, apparently removing my weapon fixes it... no idea why.

It shouldn't affect it.

Strange though.... and which Blue slaad are you talking about? The PC model or the one of the ones in Limbo (and i'm not sure which model that is using).

My guess is its something to do with values in appearances.2da, but to take a look, i need to know which blue slaad you are talking about.

In other news... this is coming:

The mobs in Limbo, neither use the PC model.

Blue Slaad - Xorn
Green Slaad - Shadowwalker/giant zombie with green tint
Gray Slaad - Hezrou
Red Slaad - Red Crystal Golem
Death Slaad - Zombie in leather armor

This feels like a korean MMO now :P I know its Limbo, but these choices in models don't feel exactly right...

Those look great, but I have grown pretty partial to my giant blue toad monster. Will there be a choice in keeping the current model for a current character, or will it be updating every blue slaad when it's applied?

Afraid it will override existing PC models.

The grey render model was always meant to be replaced if we ever found a better solution.

@Tomekk - ah, the randomness of Limbo :D Do, its really you can't use the blast against Xorn models then. Hmmm.... does Druid still get the Xorn as a summon? Perhaps a little PvP test with a druid and a Xorn summon? See if the problem exists there?

If it helps at all, I'm not sure it has something to do with the models: I've had the same bug on a previous server while shooting certain kinds of Yuan-ti.

Maybe a stupid question, but do any of the Slaadi have monk levels?

I know for a fact that in base game, and some servers, 'Deflect arrows' works on warlock blasts on occasion, and will give the ** message that Tomekk had mentioned.

Ahhh... then that may very well be the issue here.

Equipped weapons affect the blasts of warlocks, giving them enhancement bonus to rolls. It is something that should not happen according to guides.

However, that makes the blasts deflectable by monks and it also can be parried by skills.


It is known issue in some servers, but it was left alone, since bonus from getting weapons equipped is bordering on exploit and it becoming blockable is one of welcome drawbacks.
