Health continues to drain after fight
« on: April 14, 2008, 06:34:36 pm »
This happened a couple times to me twice last night down in the dungeon against some Clackers.  I'm not sure what was causing it, but after I killed the Clacker, my health would continue to tick down.  It was like I was poisoned or being drained, but I checked my Active Buffs, and there wasn't anything on there.  I couldn't get my health stable and eventually died, in which case it said I killed myself.  I was using a lot of basic magic, Weakness, Flame Torch (not sure if that is the exact name), Taste of Death, Rock Armor and Flame Spire.  Does this sound like a Bug or did I do something to make my health go to 0?  Probably tough to troubleshoot now, but wanted to get some info on how to troubleshoot it properly if it happens again.  I'm running on 64 bit Ubuntu, 0.4 Steel Blue, Dwarf.  Thanks.

many spells are bugged and a few can backfire and kill you, the devs are aware of the issues

Ah thanks, that's what I was figuring.  Just for curiosity sake, has anyone figured out a way to counter the bug in game?  Like drop all your clothes, dance, burp, eat a carrot, etc?  I tried sitting and eating something, but couldn't disrupt it.  Thanks for the reply.

Avoid to use weakness spell. It backfires the way you explained.

Ah, thanks, I thought it was that spell.  Seems like that is a common bug for spells that try to drain enemy health to replenish yours...  I think I was playing another game a while back, maybe DS2, but they were having the same issue with that type of spell.  I'm going to try and Quit next time and come back in, maybe that'll disrupt it...  Thanks.

Weakness is the main spell I use. Wait for the effects of weakness to finish before you cast it again. The problem only happens when you try stacking weakness.
Beware the grue.
