Bug: Fireball punches through Globe of Invulnerability spell

[atmasabr]

That warlock goblin past the arena put up GoI, but he had a lot of minions around him so I threw a Fireball at him, but he took damage. Full damage too.

In the first battle of the High Sewers I had my White Wizard use his Quick Globe feat to cast Globe of Invulnerability, and he got leveled by Fireball just as hard as everyone else. (My Psionicist with the cloak that auto-grants GoI did not get hit)

Globe of Invulnerability is always supposed to block area effect Evocation spells of Level 3 or lower, not to mention my preferred build is wasting a feat. Does this spell work at all? Has it been patched recently (I'm using the gog.com version)?

It should work, but the fireball might be "overcasted" as a level 4+ spell, with magic feat such as heighen or enhanced. So that might be the reason.

Otherwise, it seems to be a bug

Hi everyone, my apologies for taking so long to fix that bug!

Should be working now in version 1.71.

Thank you so much for the bug report atmasabr! Best regards

Great! Looks like defense+offense are back on the menu.
