Hi,
I play your mod with a Fighter/Thief as character.
1. She drank the potion when reaching the traps but only part of it worked. I tried several times and here is my initial finding (as it included looking at the code I put it in a spoiler):

Spoiler

The reduction of worked except for CON which stayed at 11 instead of 9.
DEX was also at 12 but I found that it was due to wearing gauntlets of dexterity. With that I found in further analysis that actually my PC's equipment was not removed at all. In addition, the ghoul hand was not given to the inventory.
Effect was the same when drinking the potion inside or outside the cave.
I finally CLUA'd the hand into the inventory and set the Global for the traps from the console to continue.

2. When delivering the key to the Tanaari he mentioned a chest behind him and something he would give me but I received nothing. Is there supposed to be something or is it a leftover from an abandoned idea?

Spoiler

According to the code I should receive an item, but it does not exist in the game, so not even CLUA helps. The rest of the action at the end of the dialogue here is performed correctly.

Please let me know if I need the item to continue the quest, in which case I would just create a dummy for me and go on.

NB: I like your mod as it has its own style that sets it apart from most others. And the areas are all new and well made (sigh - I wish I could do such.)

My guess is that you're not using the latest patch (1.4) as the ghoul hand and the Tanarr'i speech problems were fixed with that. At least I think I fixed the dialog at that point! Yes, it referred to a part of the plot that got changed.

I don't think I ever intended the PC to lose their equipment automatically; it was up to the player what to drop and what to take across the Traps.

I have no idea what failed with the potions. What other mods do you have installed?

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try it again with the patch. Let me see how that works and maybe all will be settled with that.

Eh, I thought the "transformation" shouldn't kick in unless you fail to drink the second potion within a certain time, not right after you drink the first potion, no?

[Yovaneth]

'Potion' singular. I assume that Roxanne means that she has used the first (transformation) potion only. I admit to missing the significance of the comment about the hand .

Can you put us out of our misery please, Roxanne?

[Roxanne]

I was referring just to the first potion.

If I read it correctly it sets your PC's stats to the reduced values to cross the traps and also casts a spell which drops certain weapons and creates item in slot> ghoul hand. With me it just worked on some of the stats (maybe I have read too many of the tooms that raise some of them permanently?) I kept all weapons and armour and did not receive the hand in the gauntlet slot.

Drinking the second potion reversed the reductions and lowered my PC's level with a drain that cannot be cured by my healer or by any temple (but maybe that is supposed to be so according to the two days penalty that was announced - I have not yet expired that period)

If I read it correctly it [does some stuff] and also [does other stuff...]

It only does the "other stuff" after a time period has elapsed (two days or two hours or something, I forget).

Yes, there is also a time period for the second one too - you can probably sleep it off.

[Yovaneth]

That's it. Sleeping it off is the easy way but certain NPCs do react to the change, some funny, some not-so.
