Dispel Magic

in BG:EE Bugs (v1.2)
At about 4/5 of the game, dispel magic has never worked.
Maybe I've been unlucky...or is it a bug?

    Well from what I remember the probability of dispel working decreases pretty quickly for every level that the originial caster is above the caster doing the dispelling, and I think a lot of the casters in BG tend to be at higher levels than your party, so it is entirely possible that it's working properly. I don't know how you could confim either way though.

    Uhm, but in BG1/BG2 it works often (or so I remember XD).

    Yeah, this happens to me too. I've just assumed that I was super unlucky in combat, because the dispel effects work perfectly fine on the buffs I've cast on my own party.

    Ok, if not bugged this spell has become totally useless...:(((

    It appears that Dispel Magic, at least the cleric version, is set to use caster level as the basis for the probability to dispel; that probability equals 50% + (caster level - level trying to be dispelled) so if your level is 7 and the opposing caster is 9th you have a 40% chance to dispel. That is how the spell is *supposed* to work but it used to be set to dispel magic regardless of level.

    After ending the game twice, I can say 've seen it dispel something maybe 3-4 time in total (I've played with 3 full wizards (Imoen reach 9 level as well) and 1 full cleric.
    The spell works as in PnP?
    I've only played 3.X PnP, so I don't know previus editions.
