Specialties loss of points?

[sharonfk]

Three characters died in the Mines of Kaderak and were restored. I finished the quest and saved. On the next quest I noticed all three were being thrashed by the monsters. I checked their specialty lists and found that all three had dropped from mastery in melee and toughness from 20-16 or lower. What could be the problem and I assume there is no fix?

Dropping a few points in skills shouldn't cause your characters to get thrashed. There's usually very little difference between 20 and 16.

I'd suggest either exiting and then loading your game to see if that resets the characters, or manually have them unequip and re-equip their equipment.

Same thing happens whenever you get a character from the inn. Removing all your equipment and re-equipping them restores the problem. I don't know if the same thing happens for the patched version. I am playing the unpatched game.
