Im hosting the new Knights of Valar (KoV) server in action, its going to be a 9 ac legit server. In the beta testing of the server ive had a problem with dispel's, highlighted in a duel between myself and dante i found i could not dispel his mantle and i was a lvl 36 cleric where as he was a low lvl mage of about 20 or so. I then tested this and i realised i was the only person who has this problem. The host cannot dispel any buff what so ever except with mords disjunction. I also found that i can dispel Aoe spells like silence but any buff like mantle or invisibility i cannot dispel whatsoever unless i have mords. Any help on this would be appreciated. Could it be a setting in one of the Nwn files or does one need to edit the spells in module for hosting a 9 ac mod.

Dispels are modified on GodSpire to always dispel when cast as an area effect.
Additionally, the power of dispels is increase significantly, to enable them to be used at epic levels.
This is due to balancing issues with level 40 characters.
More information can be found in the GodSpire journals.

Talon may want to correct me on this but I believe the GodSpire dispel scripts are the ones from SoU. After they fixed a major dispel bug from pre-expansion days but before they altered them to work more like the official D&D rules in HotU.
If that is the case, simply install NWN/SoU in a new directory and export all the dispel scripts.

Unfortunately not.
Even pre-hotu the dispels were capped, its just they didnt work then :)
The timings, however, are the same as pre-hotu so you can get the values of them from there - im not sure what they are off hand. But as for the cap, you will have to decide how that will work yourself. I believe that I just added 20 to the DC, but it was a long time ago, and i cant remember.

You're 100% sure they are using dispel and not spell breach?

Yes ive tested with Lesser Dispel, Dispel, Greater Dispelling Lesser Spell Breach, Greater Spell Breach and Mords. And they can dispel me, yet i cannot dispel them, however i must admit ive not tested the Spell Breach Spells my self... so thx for the advice il see if they work for me.
Ty all for your feedback, its greatly appreciated. I think by now ive grasped the concept of the problem facing me. I took it for granted that dispels cast as Aoe spells would automatically dispel one buff at a time. But now i see that needs some editing in the spell scripts of the mod. If what i do to fix this issue fails il report back.
