    I have noticed that spells higher than 3rd level can't seem to be dispelled (at least those that use the standard dispel handler). So spells like improved invisibility, fire shield, freedom of movement and similar spells can't be dispelled. Dispel magic doesn't seem to notice those spells at all. I think I have a fix for this to add to temple+. I was wondering if someone would independently verify this issue with their game.

    Thanks!

    I can confirm that dispel magic is effective against barkskin but neither dispel magic nor greater dispel magic effects the druidic version of stoneskin.

    Although I never tested this systematically I have given up using dispel magic some time ago. I remember it being ineffective against practically any spell. If you could fix that would be great if this could be added as a bug fix for the "normal" NC Game (not only Temple+)

    I plan to fix at least some of the issues such as it not working for spells greater than level 3. But this will be a temple plus fix since it requires replacing a function in the dll.

    Do you know the function which fails? If so, can you give the specific name, or address if it is in temple.dll?

    The problem is in DispelCheck(). I have a fix but am waiting until we get this version out to check it in.
