[Non-Issue] Jester's Song applying a +2 bonus to saves

IN1

Instead of a -4 penalty, which is one hell of a difference Look up SPCL751A.SPL. It is really easy to fix.

Not a bug. Just wrong description. See here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/10484/jester-song#latest

@Jalily apparently the Jester's song (SPCL751[A]) issues the confusion with +2 bonus, instead of -4 penalty. <--- i've checked this.
By the way, the song is not magical, which means, magic resistance doesn't defend against it.
That's quite powerful for a permanent effect, IMO.

@Pecca

There is a discrepancy between the in-game description and the actual facts, then. The save bonus is +2, not +4. Either way, this issue needs some attention, methinks.

@Avenger_teambg

Well, yes, but should it stay +2?

Pecca

@IN1 I agree. It was pointed out a long time ago, but it gets done eventually.

Yes, in my tob the jester is actually described like this:

- Unlike the typical bard's song, the Jester's does not help allies. Instead, it affects every opponent within 30 feet and varies with level:
1st: Enemies must Save vs. Spells with a +2 bonus or be confused
15th: Enemies must Save vs. Spells with a +2 bonus or be confused, and must Save vs. Spells or be slowed
20th: Enemies must Save vs. Spells with a +2 bonus or be confused and knocked unconscious, and must Save vs. Spells or be slowed.

@Jalily this may help too

@Avenger_teambg

Thank you!

Jalily

Changed to a +2 bonus.

@Avenger_teambg I recall the higher level effects being removed from the description because the song didn't improve with level in BG:EE—is that still the case?

Avenger_teambg

@Jalily they are in (level 1,15,20), but they are not accessible normally
