Spook + Finger of Death in a spell trigger

Current behavior
When using Spook + Finger of Death in a spell trigger (sometimes) the save for Spook is used for Finger of Death which is -6 instead of the -2 from FoD.

Expected behavior
Correct save should be used.

    @KeithS should probably be made aware of this.

    Actually this one might be a BG2Fixpack item already as well. Unfortunately I couldn't find a thread for it specifically, but maybe @CamDawg knows.

    Nah, this is internal to the engine, so it'll have to be one of the devs.

    Tagging @ScottBrooks too :)

    @CamDawg: can you give me any more pointers as to where I should look for this/a bit more of a repro case? Thanks

    @ScottBrooks
    I'm not sure actually; this is the first I've heard of the bug. I can confirm the saves are correct on both spells. That's the main reason why it'd have to be a dev issue if confirmed--everything I can touch via NI/WeiDU appears fine. :)

    To reproduce, I'd just follow the OP (and I'll try myself when I get home tonight): load up a mage with Spooks, FoDs, and Spell Triggers and see if you can replicate.

    @Anton, have you noticed any difference if you select Spook or FoD first in the trigger? Anything else you've noticed that might influence this?

    @CamDawg
    Information regarding this bug has been picked up from several BG forums. No more details has been mentioned unfortuntely.

    I'm having trouble not thinking this bug report is a false positive or random bullshit.
    First observation : Spell trigger only allows storing spells up to level 6, FoD is level 7.

    @lansounet
    Now I feel ashamed. You are right.
    Perhaps CC was ment. Sorry for bothering, guys.

    Heh no worries.
    It doesn't mean there are no issues with spells and their relative saving throws when they are cast together from a spell trigger. Worth investigating a bit before BG2:EE
