Hi.

I'm playing BG1 part now and I met Sirines in AR3600 (Lighthouse).

I was solo-playing to Bounty Hunter and I was trying to attack Sirines using X-bows.

They shapeshifted into Mustard Jelly as aTweak does, but they...

The Mustard Jellies was just trying to crawl towards Bounty Hunter for a while, and they used a special ability (maybe called forg cloud?) even though my character is far away enough not to be affected by the effect.

The Mustard Jelly never dealt with me using normal attack. In addition, the Mustard Jelly used the special ability out of range and target itself, not me unlike Sirine (Sirine form) did, (Sirine's fog cloud always aims to the one of player's characters).


Long story short, the Mustard Jelly shapeshifted by Sirine shows strange behavior unlike the normal Mustard jelly (e.g., the jelly summoned by a mage who can meet after Nashkel Mines quest).

Could you check this issue? Is the behavior intended?

Oh, I installed SCS/SCSII. I forgot to mention it. The mods may cause this problem.

The mustard jelly's toxic cloud is gas they continually emit. That the mustard jelly form uses the ability on itself even when the player is out of range is intended behaviour. But I take it the problem is that they move forward so slowly they never get within melee range?

[Hoo]

Yes, they used toxic cloud even if I was far away enough. So I could kill them safely though I needed a lot of hits.

I think they may need to attack normaly rather than using toxic cloud in order to make their behavior more realistic.

I'll look into it. Thanks for the report.
