I get the "search body" ability just fine. I have just tried it briefly in Candlekeep on the sleeping person upstairs in the inn.

 

But when I use it on him, he just... glides off? His sleeping body just slides away and disappears. Nothing else happens. This seems very buggy to me and a bit dangerous to try to use in certain situations? Like if a person has quest items on him and he just slides away :P

 

Anyway does anyone know anything about this? Can I repair the mod in Near Infinity or something?

The mod is http://www.shsforums...pocket-options/ -- please report the problem there.

@vGur, I've added this modified .spl to the BiG World Fixpack.  It looks like you changed the "strength" of the wing buffet effect on that spell from 3 to 0.  Is that right?

Thanks. But I tried it (started new game) and now I don't even get the ability anymore. Very strange.

 

I then removed your file from my override again (the original file is in the biffs) and I still can't get the ability. I don't know how this is possible. Party AI is on. Imoen gets the ability fine. But my main character does not. I tried various races etc. Is there some explanation to this?

Ok, if I select female half elf thief I get the ability after all. And your fix works. But I understand now why they were sliding in the first place. Turns out that if they do not slide away you can not get the item from under them when it drops. You just keep clicking the sleeping person. So perhaps BWP Fixpack should not have this file?

 

Also it's obviously a problem how all races/classes/genders/whatever does not get the ability. Can this be fixed somehow?

Try this version - it reduces the strength of the "wing buffet" effect to 1 instead of the original 3.  No need to start a new game to test this, just drop it in your override.

The code to add the ability is added to DPLAYER2.BCS and DPLAYER3.BCS ... nothing race/class specific that I can see.

Thanks for the file. Yes it works and it looks much better in game. It's strange because now I do get the ability again... weird for sure.
