greying out of special abilities

[dranatos]

hi
my second game of soa/tob and i realise in hell (tears challenge) that edwins and imoens special abilities where they store their sequencers/triggers is greyed out. they had minor sequencer/spell sequencer and spell trigger ready when i fought irenicus which wasnt used. didnt regain them with rest either. couldnt cast new ones either.

fortunately i remembered it happened with my first game too with aerie. at that time she didnt have minor sequencer active and after i cast it all the other abilities came on too.

since i was unable to do that this time i just reloaded an earlier save and made sure that a minor sequencer was released so on entering hell i just had to cast it and get all the other sequencers back.

on finishing saradush i realised that edwins abilities was greyed out again and couldnt cast any new ones as the game said they were still active although i couldnt assess them and not wanting to replay all of saradush killed him and resurected him. on his screen it was indicated that no triggers were active but when i cast minor sequencer the special abilities came on and showed that i had 2 minor sequencers and a spell sequencer and spell trigger. i released them all (the old ones came out as a fizzle) and continued on as normal.

whew, long story. just wondering if this was a common occurence and if it only happens to magic users. have heard in some posts about some thieves not being able to use their abilities. seems to be a bug with entering/leaving hell. next time i enter or leave hell am not saving up any of them triggers/sequencers for a rainy day.

by the way am playing with tob and patch and baldurdash.thanx for any enlightenment on this problem.and if anyone encounters this problem u know what to do.

I know the feeling, although not with a mage. In my game Jaheira hasnt been able to shapechange into a bear or wolf since about midway through SoA. It was always grayed out. When she got high level abilited she can now transform into earth or fire elementals, but the icons for bear or wolf are gone. I've never known why.
