Imp stuck in jelly form

[Lord Holland of Wessex]

My imp familiar is stuck in jelly form, thinking it could be bug. has anyone else experienced this? I knew something was up when i cleared the entire map with basiliks on without needing korax's help. I'm sure it will cause problems later as it cant get through doorways ;(

you can talk to your familiar and put it in your pack.

shouldn't have any issues with it moving around after that. I never have my familiar out in high risk situations

yeah tried that - no option to put in pack. I'm assuming its because its in jelly form. the option to change back is disabled for some reason.

Jelly form really useful v basiliks and ankhegs as immue to their range attacks.

have you tried dispel magic?

No i have not yet - thanks will try that

no that did not work - i have used the imp before and the change form spell normally only lasts a short time. for some reason the imp is stuck as a jelly and cant be turned back.

i have tried dispel magic, attacking it - resting -going to different maps but the option to change to any other or normal form is not avaiable - oh well better start over........ yet again... came back after a few months break and my old game had a fighter/transmuter in as a main. i was like wtf was i smoking when i dualled him so started this game, and bam imp issues.... - luckily not too far in.

It is a bug that could happen at anywhere/time, the only solution so far is load a previous save. And manually transfer your Imp back to normal form, just in case it stuck again.

well, that or murder your imp and summon it again and add a tome of constition to your inventory to counter the CON loss?

[Lord Holland of Wessex]

Thanks for replies. Unfortunately all previous saves apart for start of chapter had the bug on. I have started anew with this bug in mind now. Will create a save before i change forms in case it happens again. like the imp as it can recover hp and has so many option for changing forms although jelly is my favourite.

Hi! Activate the console in the game and then Ctrl+R your character. It will fix the issue.

this bug just hit me. wasnt doing anything special.

keep clicking slap options, you can force him into your pack even while hes stuck in jelly form. this won't fix the jelly form bug though...

i use to force this bug alot; can't remember how. either otilukes sphere or polymorph other or something that forces them to stay in the form past the cool down. i think you can fix it too through a weird combination of spells; also can't remember.
