Problem with Scather

Horus · Sep 27, 2010

I seem to be having a problem with my character that is using Scather. When Scather uses an attack of opportunity and the character takes damage from the attack (like flame damage from the flame brothers) or regular attacks where he kills the target and takes damage, I have no away to end his round. It just stays stuck on him even though the round bar has nothing left and is grey.

Any ideas?

This is a known bug since vanilla. Just don't use Scather in the fire temple,or against the Balor.

Do not use Scather or Fragarach in the Fire Node or the Fire Temple. You will likely experience the endless AoO loop, and you will be very sad.

Symptom: I have a character wielding either Scather or Fragarach. After I hit an enemy with it, the game hangs. This typically happens in the Fire Node or the Fire Temple.

Solution: This issue has to do with the attack of opportunity (AoO) that Scather and Fragarach award you when an enemy damages you. Many enemies in the Fire Node, for example, inflict fire damage to a character when a charater hits them. If you are wielding Scather or Fragarach, the game tries (and fails) to award you an attack of opportunity when you hit these creatures because of the incidental fire damage they cause. This in turn causes the game to freeze on that character's turn. This bug can cause problems in other locations as well. The obvious workaround is to just not use Scather or Fragarach in sensitive areas such as the Fire Node, but there is one other makeshift way around the problem:

Make sure the character weilding Scather or Fragarach has a potion or scroll in their inventory.
Once the character has executed his attack, click on the end turn button.
Open the character's inventory and attempt to use a potion or scroll from there. You'll get a message saying the character can't use that item.
Close the inventory screen. Combat will resume with the next participant in the initiative queue.
