JediMindTrix Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 AKA 0 and 2. "Not Dispel/bypass resistance" (0) and "No Dispel/bypass resistance" (2) Is there even a difference between these functionally? Link to comment
Mike1072 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 "No Dispel/bypass resistance" (0) "Dispel/Not bypass resistance" (1) "Not Dispel/bypass resistance" (2) "Dispel/Bypass resistance" (3) Going by the IESDP, I think they're identical. Resistance The default behaviour is that effects cannot be dispelled and ignore resistance. [emphasis added] bit 0: Can be dispelled, affected by resistance bit 1: Ignores resistance (when used in combination with bit 0) This can also be presented in the more traditional way: 0=Nonmagical 1=Can be dispelled/Affected by resistance 2=Cannot be dispelled/Ignores resistance 3=Can be dispelled/Ignores resistance I don't test these out too often, so someone else may be able to provide confirmation.

lynx Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This was REd for bg2, so it may be different in other engines (doesn't make that much sense). Link to comment
Fiann of the Silver Hand Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Probably on the Bio devs to-do list to differentiate them, then never found a need to. The (0) and (2) spells are mostly self targeting, that or psionic-y type spells. Link to comment
Grammarsalad Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 AKA 0 and 2. "Not Dispel/bypass resistance" (0) and "No Dispel/bypass resistance" (2) Is there even a difference between these functionally? Maybe 2 is subject to wild/dead magic? (Are there dead magic zones? I don't remember any, but I've heard talk) Link to comment
Fiann of the Silver Hand Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Maybe 2 is subject to wild/dead magic? (Are there dead magic zones? I don't remember any, but I've heard talk) That's a separate flag on its own in the spl file. Are effects treated differently? Link to comment
Avenger Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I don't think there is any difference. But i still use 0 for absolutely nonmagical effects. And 2 for unavoidable magical effects. Link to comment
