Avenger Sword Spider, no haste?

in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
I read on the baldur's gate wiki that the Sword Spider Avenger form had haste but apparently this isn't the case? Was this changed in the enhanced edition?

    I tested it for you. They are indeed supposed to be hasted going from the Shapeshift description.



    Ill make a bug report for you if its not already listed. :)

    Thank you. :D

    I didn't get much time to play last night but according to the wiki they're supposed to be able to poison their target on hit but that never proc'd for me, I also never tested their web immunity. I'll test it some more when I get home.

    Tested the web immunity and that's working as intended but I noticed that the spell/spell description is wrong. "Shapeshift: Spider" should read "Shapeshift: Sword Spider", which is what's listed in the class description.

    edit: Tested in the original bg2. The sword spider form indeed has haste and was able to poison the first enemy in the game. I wasn't able to poison any enemies in the enhanced edition of baldur's gate 1.

    I'm assuming that my character is turning into a normal spider and not a sword spider in the ee.

    Anyway, sorry for double posting, I'm not sure if you can update the bug report or not.

    Since you did all the testing I might suggest making a new bug report yourself showing the issues you mentioned. Its better to have a bug report written up using first hand knowledge instead of me trying to write something which I may or may not get correct.

    Here is the link for how to write a bug report:
    https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/49852/what-should-you-do-when-you-find-a-bug-in-sod-or-want-this-or-that-thing-to-look-behave-differently

    Also in the bug report at the end just post a link to my bug stating that they are related and Beamdog will look at them both together :)

    Let me know if you can do that and how it goes! If you link me your report once its done ill add a link in mine to your bug :)

    Pretty sure that sword spider form isn't supposed to have poison as sword spiders don't have poison.

    Yeah I thought that was weird too but it works in the original game.

    edit: According to the forgotten realms wiki they're poisonous.
