Does fatigue now affect casting?

    Or is it something else? My Viconia can't seem to cast many spells I ask her to. What's up with that!?

    It doesn't, to the best of my knowledge at least. What happens when you try to cast a spell?

    Or well, if it's a spell that requires a touch/ranged attack or similar to deliver its effect, then obviously fatigue will affect that.

    It could be the quest I'm on. Now that I think of it. I'm in waukeen's promenade hunting the red wizzards. I read the dialogue fast but I think it said something about not being able to cast spells.

    Derp :P

    I've heard (not verified myself) that fatigue gives negative towards luck, so it may affect certain aspects of spellcasting (like its effectiveness). Nothing like what you are describing though.

    Yeah my Dragon Disciple seems to be the only one that can cast spells 100% of the time. Neera and Viconia are about 50% success rate. :S

    FYI found the problem. It seems to be the bell collar from Neera's quest that deafens people but does not go away.

    @alannahsmith as a temporary workaround, try casting Cure Disease (the level 3 priest spell) on the afflicted characters.

    The bug with the collar will be addressed.

    I was thinking to myself yesterday that it must be some kind of silence spell whose symbol you couldn't see, but that wouldn't make sense since it gives 100% failure rate. I forgot about deaf. Try Avenger's solution and hopefully that works :)

    Indeed.. it has currently a permanent deaf effect on a failed save rather than lasting for one minute. If you put this file in your override that should fix it temporarily.
